Funded Activity Summary

While most of the current treatments available are directed against cancerous tumour cells, there is increasing evidence that other factors within the tumour mass (or tumour microenvironment) may have an impact on prognosis. These factors include the lack of tissue oxygen and the immune response mounted by the body against the tumour cells. The impact of these factors on prognosis and their association with microRNAs (small RNA fragments which control protein production) will be investigated.
