 evealed that ovarian cancer patients begin buying over-the-counter medicat
 ions months before seeing a doctor\, suggesting a missed opportunity for e
 arlier diagnosis. This research opens new conversations about how everyday
  data might support earlier cancer detection\, and what it takes for the p
 ublic to feel comfortable sharing that data.\n\nAbout Professor Flanagan:

 resent) in the Division of Cancer\, Dept. of Surgery and Cancer\, Faculty 
 of Medicine at Imperial College London.\n\nHe was awarded the British Asso
 ciation of Cancer Research Translational Researcher Award in 2011 and the
