ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Cancer is sadly very common. In the UK, one in two adults will get cancer during the course of their lifetime. Despite being familiar to many, there are still big gaps in our understanding of why and how the disease occurs.
But in recent years there have been considerable advances in our knowledge of cancer and its potential treatments.
In this episode of the Life Sci Fantastic, Eliot speaks to Professor Sandra Strauss, an expert in bone and tissue cancers, who explains the disease and how modern science is generating new possibilities for patients.
Host: Eliot Forster
