Public’s view on using graphene to treat cancer sought

University of Manchester researchers are already working on at new cancer therapies and treatments that use graphene and other nanomaterials to activate the body's immune system. Though the research is at an early phase, it could one day benefit cancer patients.

Dr Swathi Suran, 2D-Health researcher said: “We would like to understand the public's knowledge and acceptance around cancer immunotherapy, a type of cancer treatment, and the use of nanomaterials for cancer therapy to help inform our research.

“We have devised and developed a questionnaire to explore patient and public views on our technology, called Nanomaterials for Cancer Therapeutics, and want to hear from a range of people with different experiences of cancer and cancer treatments."

The data collected from the questionnaire will help to guide future research into the development of these new cancer therapeutics.

This survey was developed with support from Vocal, bringing people and health research together.
