The Greater Manchester Cancer Podcast

In the latest episode in our series looking at cancer in the news, host Steve Bland and Susi Penney, the Associate Medical Director at GM Cancer and a consultant head and neck surgeon at MFT, cast their eyes over the stories making the headlines in March/April 2024.

Once again there's plenty to discuss, with the death of campaigner and Coppafeel founder Kris Hallenga, the call from CRUK and the family of Dame Deborah James for a new national cancer strategy, as well as good news as NHS England announced that cancer checks have topped three million in a year for the first time. Steve and Susi also discussed the use of vaccines in cancer treatment.
