Dear colleague,

In this edition of Cancer Research UK's Early Diagnosis newsletter, you can read about the latest updates to our earlier diagnosis materials. You'll find our refreshed cervical screening webpages for health professionals, which include the newly updated Cervical screening good practice guide and our updated Cancer screening at a glance resource.

We've also published the second article in our multi-cancer tests (MCT) explainer series. This article explores the implications of multi-cancer earlier detection tests in screening.

Since November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month, why not revisit our information on lung cancer symptom recognition?

And if you enjoy these newsletters, then why not follow us on X(previously known as Twitter) for daily updates!

Best wishes,
Sam Harrison and the Strategic Evidence Team

Find out more about the potential implications of MCEDs on cancer screening, and how these could support earlier diagnosis, in the second article of our MCT explainer series.
