Eight NHS cancer centres are joining dozens of hospitals around the world to find patients who had extraordinary responses to cancer treatment and lived much longer than expected.

Researchers on the study will collect detailed biological information on 1,000 patients and their tumours.

They will analyse DNA, blood proteins, microbes and molecular biomarkers in the hope of learning why they fared so well.

Insights will be used to understand cancer weaknesses and design new therapies for aggressive tumours to improve the prospects for other patients.
