ALT Copy reads: “This initiative will accelerate our understanding of who is most at risk of developing cancer. By leveraging large, population-scale datasets and advanced data science techniques, such as AI, we’ll identify new cancer risk factors and develop tools that give doctors better ways to predict cancer risk.” Professor Antonis Antoniou, Director of the Cancer Data Driven Detection initiative.

📢 UK health data should be recognised as "critical national infrastructure".
Published today, the #SudlowReview offers critical insights into how we can safely and securely use data science to improve health services across the UK.

30 years ago a landmark paper identified the BRCA1 gene that significantly increases the risk of #BreastCancer and #OvarianCancer when faulty. What impact did this discovery have on how we understand and treat cancer?

The public may wonder about the value of sharing their health data. PREDICT breast and prostate and CanRisk are widely used clinical tools based on NHS data.
breast.predict.cam
prostate.predict.cam
canrisk.org
These would not be possible without data sharing.
Men! What matters to you when your #NHS data is used for research?
We've had few men share their thoughts about NHS data use for research in the East of England @EoE_SDE.
Men (and women and non-binary people) can share their thoughts here - forms.office.com/e/Z78PiacwQ…

Our new paper finds the Cambridge multimorbidity score predicts death, GP consultation and cancer diagnoses in @uk_biobank. A useful tool for heath data scientists looking to account for health status in their analyses?
