Colon cancer: A potential cure and what you can do to lower your risk


Listen Later

What if we told you a scientist set out to cure malaria… and might end up curing cancer?

Join Associate Professor Michelle Wykes as she shares the remarkable story behind her game-changing discovery that could help treat common but tricky "cold cancers" like colon and triple-negative breast cancer. From jaw-dropping lab results to her surprising fibre epiphany (and love for burgers!), Michelle gets real about prevention, diet myths, and what it takes to move a promising treatment from mice to humans.

Big science, bigger dreams—and practical advice you can use tonight at dinner.
