Places on the Hospiscare Twilight Walk , taking place on 7 July, are going fast, so walkers – and runners – are advised to sign up soon. For the first time, this year’s event includes a 5k fun run as well as the now-traditional 5 or 10 mile walking routes, to cater for women and girls of all ages and levels of fitness.
Starting at the Maer in Exmouth, the event has a ‘Pink Fizz’ theme, so runners and walkers who agree that pink isn’t just a colour, it’s an attitude are encouraged to dress accordingly. The fizz – a drop or two of bubbly – will await them, along with a bacon bap and...
Scientists have developed a new test that can pick out women at high risk of relapsing from breast cancer within 10 years of diagnosis.
Their study looked for immune cell ‘hotspots’ in and around tumours, and found that women who had a high number of hotspots were more likely to relapse than those with lower numbers.
The new test could help more accurately assess the risk of cancer returning in individual patients, and offer them monitoring or preventative treatment.
Scientists at The Institute of Cancer Research, London, analysed tissue samples from 1,178 women...

As a GP himself he has dedicated his working life to studying which cancer symptoms are the most important, so that GPs can more readily spot potential cancer at an earlier stage. He...
Thousands of women united at Westpoint Exeter this weekend with one mission in mind – to conquer cancer.
Now Cancer Research UK is calling on Exeter’s formidable army of mighty-mums, gutsy-grans, feisty friends and go-getting girls to make every step count by paying in their sponsorship money as soon as possible.
Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life, in partnership with Tesco, is an inspiring women-only series of 5k, 10k and Pretty Muddy events which raises millions of pounds every year to fund life-saving research.
Nuffield Health Exeter Hospital has invested £120,000 in breast care imaging technology. The new mammography suite enhances the state-of-the-art diagnostic offering at the hospital.
The Fuji Amulet system provides high quality images which helps to detect abnormalities more effectively. The images are produced immediately with no processing time. The system is more comfortable for patients as the scanning time is reduced.
