The historical focus in prehabilitation has been on exercise, how can the insights of psychology and behaviour change techniques be applied to the field? Should psychosocial outcomes and behaviour change be factored into your practice? There's consistent evidence that anxiety around the time of diagnosis is predictive of post operative pain; depression increases the risk of chronic pain; psychological factors also impact on wound healing and functional recovery. Meanwhile low confidence and depression have been shown to effect outcomes. How can psychological behaviour change techniques be embedded into encouragement to involve themselves in exercise training in advance of their operation? For more on the Wesfit trial go here: http://www.wesfit.org.uk/ Presented by Chloe Grimmett, National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) post-doctoral Research Fellow and Senior Research Fellow for the Macmillan Survivorship Research Group at the University of Southampton; behavioural science lead for Wessex-Fit-for Surgery (WesFit) trial, a large randomised controlled trial of physical and psychological prehabilitation prior to cancer surgery and is a member of the National Cancer Research Institute clinical studies Lifestyle and Behaviour Change Group and the NIHR Cancer and Nutrition Collaborative.

International Women's Day is celebrated on 8th March every year and is a focal point in the movement for women's rights.The theme for the 2020 campaign is 'Each for Equal' in which the movement emphasises that equality is not a women's issue, but a business issue and we must all come together and strive toward a gender equal world.To mark the occasion, Manchester Central gathered together a group of female event professionals from across the industry to discuss what it's like to not just be a woman in the events industry, but to be a woman in 2020.Join host Samantha Pike-Devlin, Digital Communications Executive at Manchester Central and Nicole Leida, Head of Conference and Events at the National Cancer Research Institute, Caroline Mackenzie, Director of Global Association Partners, Nicola White, Senior Project Manager at Worldspan plc and Elizabeth Conboy, Head of Venue Sales at Manchester Central as they take a closer look at gender equality in the events industry – where it’s at now and what changes can be made to move forward to greater gender balance.Follow Manchester Central: Twitter | Instagram Find out more about Global Association Partners, Worldspan plc and NCRIFind out more about the venue on our website

Dr Kennedy talks to ecancertv at NCRI 2015 about the highlights of the conference and the work of the NCRI (the National Cancer Research Institute). She mentions the work in genomics, immunotherapy, policy (such as E-cigarette policy) and treatment economics as being of particular interest, as well as the importance of the conference in establishing networks and collaborations. She also touches upon the work of the NCRI in facilitating more research on radiotherapy and on survivorship issues effecting patients.

Jeremy Whelan from the National Cancer Research Institute discusses the underrepresentation of teenagers and young adults in clinical cancer trials.

Prof Angelo Paradiso discusses the process in which exploratory biomarkers move into clinical application. The steps to move a biomarker into the clinic are very complicated, but necessary as it must be guaranteed that these markers work according to a strict quality criteria. Prof Paradiso highlights the two main factors of the criteria as the need for standard operating producers for to clinicians and confirmation of reproducible results in a lab setting.

How does cancer spread? How can we target our immune system to take out tumours? This week we visit the National Cancer Research Institute's annual conference to explore the cutting edge of cancer research. We'll find out why cancers become resistant to chemotherapy, and how new research offers us a window to watch a cancer as it spreads.

This week Kat Arney joins us live from the National Cancer Research Institute's conference in Liverpool. We find out how mistakes in cell signalling can cause cancers and why DNA repair pathways offer targets to treat tumours. Also, we explore the latest developments in cancer imaging, including new techniques that allow us to track chemical reactions happening inside the body. In the news, why you need to remove genes to repair nerves, and how clearing out old cells can prevent diseases of old age!

We catch up with cancer research this week including evidence that cancers subvert stem cells to suppress the immune system and how covert "hit and run" viral infections may be triggering a lot more tumours than we first thought. Also, joining us from the National Cancer Research Institute conference in Liverpool, cancer biologist Bob Weinberg explains how he sees cancer becoming a controllable chronic condition within just ten years. Plus, the buzz around a new tumour-spotting ultrasound technique, how a burst of electricity to the brain boosts mathematical ability, a new trick to block the brain damage done during a stroke and how bacteria store the genetic fingerprints of past viral adversaries to protect themselves in the future.
