National coverage for pioneering breast cancer study at MFT
Good Morning Britain and ITV Granada Reports featured MFT’s BCAN-RAY (Breast Cancer Risk Assessment in Young Women) study, which is running from The Nightingale Centre at Wythenshawe Hospital.
The pioneering study launched earlier this year in memory of Girls Aloud singer, Sarah Harding and is one of the first research studies in the world to identify new ways to predict the risk of younger women getting breast cancer.
