Ireland becoming 'world leader' in cancer research rte.ie/news/ireland/2… via @rte We are proud to support so much extraordinary Irish research and show the exceptional nurses and doctors caring for people with cancer . #cancerrevolution #freeexhibition

PhD student, @Lorrainesmith_1 is exploring a new way to treat Barrett’s oesophagus using electroporation - a gentler method. Funded by @BreakthroCancer through the @AllCaN_BCR programme, her work could pave the way for a new clinical trial for people with #BarrettsOesophagus
Huge congrats to @maitiuomurchu on passing his PhD viva today. Very proud. Thanks to his examiners Prof @K_Butterworth and Dr @MartinBarr10 and Prof @JoanneLysaght for chairing. Thanks to @BreakthroCancer for funding this work.
Congratulations to the formidable Dr Marion on a successful PhD viva! Delighted to see your hard work recognised. Such an impressive body of work revealing the pro-tumourigenic effects of fractalkine in OAC @caroline_mrn @JoanneLysaght @TCDTMI @CancerInstIRE @TrinityMed1
Early diagnosis of #OvarianCancer could raise survival to 90% - but it’s hard to detect. At @TCDTMI, Dr. Sharon O’Toole & Marika Kanjuga are developing a blood test to catch it earlier. Funded by Breakthrough Cancer Research & the Attracta O’Regan Fund 💙 #WOCD2025 @OvCancerDay
Exciting to see amifostine repurposed as a radioprotective agent for pancreatic cancer! Traditionally administered intravenously, a targeted nasal delivery method delivers it directly to the duodenum, where it shields healthy cells from radiation. Now entering clinical trials.

Fantastic talk this morning by @OonaghGriffinRD on tackling malnutrition in pancreatic cancer. An important but often overlooked aspect of managing patients with this disease. Looking forward to seeing what comes of the FEED Trial. #IACR2025 @News_IACR
