Scientist credits father's death for cancer focus
Professor Petra Hamerlik, inspired by her father's death from a brain tumour, is leading a study at the University of Manchester developing a tear-based test to detect brain tumours. The NHS-approved research involves about 500 participants across eight sites, with initial trials showing promising results. The simple, quick screening could improve early diagnosis and treatment options, though it may take over a decade to become widely available.
