Why does cancer happen? How come chemotherapy kills cancer but not us? What does my doctor mean when he says I have a "lesion"?

We learn all about the emperor of maladies in today's episode, what makes it terrifying, and some of the exciting new ways science has figured out how to fight against it.

(Apologies for the shoddy audio quality - I've rearranged my office and my setup is still being optimised! Will try to fix some of the mic booming issues as well...)
