A new prototype cancer test that could help thousands of cancer patients is one of the five projects that has been awarded funding from our National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), Professor Dame Sally Davies, Chief Medical Officer and Chief Scientific Adviser at the Department of Health announced yesterday.
