Our cancer studies started in 1996 with the ABC (Anglian Breast Cancer) Study. In 1999 we started recruiting patients with ovarian cancer. The study was then extended to include colorectal and uterine cancers in 2000. The whole project was renamed SEARCH in 2002. In 2003 we also started to recruit control participants, which are people with no history of cancer that can be used as comparisons with the cancer patients. As of 2005, the study has been extended to include bladder, brain, kidney, oesophageal and pancreatic cancers, as well as melanoma and non-Hogkins lymphoma. A new initiative, the SEARCH Food Study, started in 2007, in collaboration with the Centre for Nutritional Epidemiology in Cancer Prevention and Survival (CNC), to study the effect of food on general health in people who have had cancer. The studies are funded by a grant from Cancer Research U.K. and have been approved by the Eastern Multi-Centre Research Ethics Committee (Eastern MREC).
