• Engaging people affected by lung cancer

"Currently, there are very few people impacted by lung cancer involved in cancer research. The overall aim of this project is to increase education and awareness around research. Hopefully by doing this, the project can enable and encourage more people impacted by lung cancer to become actively involved in and be part of the lung cancer research community."

"Surgery for bowel cancer changes over time. New technology can give extra information (data) to help to improve the operations we perform. Digital surgery refers to applying and integrating these new technologies to clinical surgery. The Digital Surgery Unit at the Mater Misericordiae University Hospital is conducting research in this area. With the support of the Irish Cancer Society, we have launched a PPI process to explore the perspectives of patients, healthcare professionals and the general public towards these research and clinical activities."
