Decoding Cancer podcast

The Decoding Cancer podcast aims to help answer some of the public’s big cancer questions with its first episode on Tuesday 1st December.

Podcast host and Irish Cancer Society Director of Research Dr Robert O’Connor will be joined by top experts as well as cancer patients and survivors each Tuesday in December in the run up to Christmas as they tease out common queries such as why do people get cancer, what tell-tale signs can we watch out for, and will a cure ever be found?

This is an exciting development for the Society to entirely produce a podcast series for the first time, with Nphet expert advisory group chair Dr Cillian De Gascún and head of the World Health Organisation’s cancer research arm Dr Elisabete Weiderpass among a great lineup of guests.
