(1/7) Most known #carcinogens were identified pre-1980. The causes behind ~ half of #preventable #cancer cases remain unknown. In a recent paper george davey smith & Paul Brennan discuss the remaining undiscovered risk factors: link.springer.com/article/10.100… Few take-home notes 🧵👇:

Today, we launch the largest ever philanthropic campaign by a UK charity. More Research, Less Cancer aims to raise £400m to contribute to the work at The Crick, help fund Cancer Grand Challenges, support scientists at all stages of their career, and enable more innovations that lead to



OUT IN nature: Geographic variation of mutagenic exposures in kidney cancer genomes! The power of Mutographs Cancer Grand Challenges demonstrated on this landmark paper! Congrats Sergey Senkin, Sarah Moody, Mike Stratton Wellcome Sanger Institute, Paul Brennan IARC et al! nature.com/articles/s4158…

And thanks to the brilliant Cancer Grand Challenges team at CRUK for their total support since Mutographs started, as well as wonderful scientific journey with Wellcome Sanger Institute and UC San Diego colleagues (esp Sarah Moody), partners in the 11 countries, and all the great team IARC.
