Breast Cancer Research Team

We participate in a number of national and international clinical trials, with a particular focus on metastatic breast cancer. We also participate in adjuvant and neo-adjuvant studies; trials looking at numerous different cancer treatments, ie hormone therapies, chemotherapy, and trials for differing Her 2 status and hormone receptor status. We mainly partake in phase 2-4 studies.

Most of our clinical trials are commercially sponsored. However, most of our trial activity comes from National Cancer Research Network (NCRN) studies.

The number and type of trials open to recruitment can change over time and each clinical trial has specific criteria for entry. However, we normally have approximately 15 active clinical trials, with many more in follow-up and set up.

We are a very large team with two consultant medical oncologists, six consultant clinical oncologists, five research nurses, three data managers and two Clinical Trials Administrators. We also have a number of Research Registrars working with us at any given time, and have close links with the Christie's Breast Care Nurses.
