One in Two

In this episode we speak to Professor Katherine Payne about health economics; what it is, its importance in cancer treatment and early detection strategies and the crucial role it plays in changing healthcare policy. We discuss Katherine’s work evaluating the health and economic benefits of banning sunbeds in England and the effect that a policy intervention would have in reducing the burden of skin cancer on the NHS.   CRUK: https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw-fmZBhDtARIsAH6H8qgxqXaY3V-t80BG6HPUGwl9XBsoh74Xr7N1rVQObEm6EYHYsEsyBq4aAj99EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds Melanoma Focus: https://melanomafocus.org/ How can we encourage the UK public to stop indoor tanning?: https://www.mcrc.manchester.ac.uk/how-can-we-encourage-the-uk-public-to-stop-indoor-tanning/ The case for banning sunbeds: https://www.mcrc.manchester.ac.uk/impact-case-studies/the-case-for-banning-sunbeds/ Scientists: 'A ban on sunbeds could save lives from skin cancer': https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-61508470 Ban on solariums in England would save hundreds of lives from skin cancer, study finds: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/may/19/ban-on-solariums-in-england-would-save-hundreds-of-lives-from-skin-cancer-study-finds

What is One in Two?

With one in two of us receiving a cancer diagnosis at some point during our lives, it has never been more important to improve the outcomes for people affected by cancer.

This cancer research podcast is brought to you by The University of Manchester in partnership with the Manchester Cancer Research Centre (MCRC). In each episode, our cancer researchers discuss the innovations, discoveries and projects that are changing the landscape of early detection.
