Oncology Research

Leading the way in improving outcomes for Lung Cancer patients at LHCH with innovative research in areas such as:

• The benefits of screening patients who are at high risk of lung cancer
• Cancer vaccines to stimulate the immune system to be able to recognise cancer cells as abnormal and destroy them.
• The use of Epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors to stop the cancer cells from dividing and therefore growing.
• The use of erythropoietin to stimulate the body to make more red blood cells as a treatment for anaemia which may occur during chemotherapy treatment.
