Genetic clues of bowel cancer
Bowel cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the UK, with over 41,000 people diagnosed every year. Professor Malcolm Dunlop is comparing the genetics of people with bowel cancer to healthy people to identify the culprit genes. His results could help us detect bowel cancer earlier, when treatment is more likely to be successful.
