Start Time: 5:30pm
What exactly is cancer and why does it grow and spread?
Find out the answers to these questions and more by joining us at our 'About Cancer' health lecture.
Each year more than a quarter of a million people in the UK are diagnosed with cancer. Doctors estimate that more than one in three of us will get some form of cancer at some point in our lives. Cancer treatments have developed beyond all recognition and today many cancers are treatable with patients able to lead normal lives. But what exactly is cancer and why does it grow and spread? What makes some people more susceptible and what can individuals do to lower their risk?
Rightly, many people who are diagnosed with cancer and those caring for them want to know about their care and treatment and how it works. Therefore we are pleased to present one of our internationally renowned experts in oncology, Professor Barry Hancock who will be speaking about cancer, treatments available and some of the new developments which will impact on cancer care in the future.
