Fergus Macbeth

Dr Fergus Macbeth is an expert in lung cancer research and works at the Velindre Hospital in Cardiff.  He is co-ordinating a clinical trial called FRAGMATIC, investigating whether the blood thinning drug Dalteparin (also called Fragmin) can reduce the number of blood clots in people with lung cancer. Blood clots are common in people with the disease and can also be a side effect of treatment. They can be very serious if they start to move through the body so it is important to find ways of preventing them.
