The Sussex Cancer Fund is delighted to be highlighting an exciting project, which will ultimately help the development of a non-invasive blood test for diagnosing cancer.

The project aim is to create a liquid biopsy using a patients blood sample to easily test for cancer the existence of markers that can signal the presence of cancer (see more about the project ).

In order to pursue this project, the research team need a specialist piece of equipment to identify EVs. They have chosen the Exoview R100 as their preferred tool. The equipment costs around £90k but they are delighted to have secured some match funding which means they need to raise about £40k of additional funds to pursue this project.

The team are in the early stages of this ground-breaking research which could ultimately lead to a non-invasive blood test to identify cancer cells in patients, potentially leading to earlier diagnosis and saving lives, please help if you can.
