A Cambridge-led trial has found that a drug mimicking the hormone progesterone has anti-cancer activity when used together with conventional anti-oestrogen treatment for women with breast cancer.

Personalised and precise cancer treatments underpin the focus of care at the planned Cambridge Cancer Research Hospital, which will bring together clinical excellence and world-leading research under one roof.

Researchers at the University of Cambridge say the PIONEER trial suggests that megestrol could help improve the lives of thousands of women.

Happy New Year! We're looking forward to another busy and exciting year for the Cambridge Cancer Research Hospital project, as we prepare our Full Business Case for submission.

Our Research Lead University of Cambridge Professor Rebecca Fitzgerald reflects on what 2026 has in store and the benefits the specialist facility will bring for the future of cancer medicine.

"This new hospital will accelerate research into clinical care more quickly, so we can detect cancer earlier before symptoms even develop, and bring more life-saving therapies to patients across the UK faster than ever before."
