Development and evaluation of methodologies for analysis of CTC and ctDNA in patients with ovarian carcinoma
… and recurrent tumours. Circulating tumour cells (CTC) and circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) represent a new generation of biomarkers that can be used for predicting therapy responsiveness and longitudinal monitoring of OC patients undergoing therapy. This thesis describes a series of investigations …

A remote access CT colonography training system
Computed tomography colonography (CTC) is emerging as an alternative to conventional colonoscopy (CC). However CTC is not yet in widespread use due in part to the lack of suitably trained radiologists. We have developed a novel remote access system to train radiologists for colorectal cancer …
