On this week's episode of the pod, Jess is joined by Dr. David Robert Grimes to discuss various aspects of cancer, including prevalence, survivorship, trends, and prevention. They emphasize the importance of understanding that cancer is a complex disease with various forms and causes. They debunk myths and misinformation surrounding cancer, such as the idea that sugar, sunscreen, or deficiency in vitamin C cause cancer. They also highlight the role of screening programs in early detection and prevention, while cautioning against unnecessary tests and over-treatment. They chat about modifiable risk factors for cancer, such as smoking, obesity, and sun exposure -- as well as cellular changes during the aging process. The conversation takes a positive turn when the two discuss the potential of mRNA vaccines in cancer treatment. They emphasize the importance of critical thinking and skepticism when evaluating cancer-related information, particularly on social media. You don't want to miss this!
