A study looking at the causes of different types of cancer in Scotland

This study collected blood and tissue samples from people who were newly diagnosed with certain types of cancer since 2006.

The researchers in this study were trying to find out more about the causes of cancer. They studied blood and tissue samples from people with cancer. They looked for links between characteristics of the cancer cells and each person's treatment outcome.

They also gathered information about medical history and treatment, and this information was treated confidentially. Looking at all this information may help to improve and develop new treatments. They will also store these samples and results to use in future cancer research.
