Taking Control of Cancer

Episode 57: Breaking cancer news - May 2026


Listen Later

It's May 2026 and we are back with another news episode where we dissect the ways in which cancer is making the news.

In this episode Steve and Femi look into a new quantitative ultrasound which enables accurate prediction of three-year survival in locally advanced breast cancer; a new AI-driven way of identifying how patients with advanced bowel cancer will respond to a drug that was recently introduced by the NHS; a new injectable form of a key cancer drug which could see thousands of NHS patients across the UK spending far less time in hospital; and they look at how Eastenders is covering a blood cancer story with the help of Blood Cancer UK.
