Summary
Chemotherapy resistance is a major barrier to the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). We seek to uncover an intimate link between cell metabolism and oncogenic signalling pathways in regulating the cellular response to chemotherapy. Our studies will identify a critical mechanism limiting the therapeutic efficacy of chemotherapy and investigate combination therapy strategies that could improve the treatment of TNBC.
A Telehealth Mediated Nursing Intervention (PRISMS) To Enable Patient Monitoring And Self-care In Haematological Cancer Patients: A Randomised Controlled Trial

Summary
People with cancer are required to monitor and to initiate self care activities to manage side effects at home. In haematological cancer patients these side effects are often severe and life-threatening. Safe home care requires close communication with the health team. We will test if a mobile phone based system can: support patients to monitor their side effects; promote the delivery of evidence based self care advice in a timely manner; and mediate the role of nurses to effectively provide rea ....People with cancer are required to monitor and to initiate self care activities to manage side effects at home.
