Funding cancer prevention as a metaphor for war

War metaphors are everywhere in cancer care, so when comparing the costs put towards cancer treatment versus cancer prevention, well, the numbers are staggering.

In this episode of The Cancer Pod, Tina and Leah sit down with investigative reporter and author Kristina Marusic to explore the alarming links between environmental toxins and cancer. Kristina shares insights from her book, ”A New War on Cancer: The Unlikely Heroes Revolutionizing Prevention,“ and discusses the systemic changes needed to reduce cancer rates.

She delves into the alarming prevalence of environmental toxins, ranging from consumer goods to air and water, that pose significant health risks, urging us to reevaluate our relationship with everyday products. Regulatory issues are brought to the forefront, showcasing how current frameworks often prioritize industry interests over public health. Despite known risks, certain chemicals persist in products, emphasizing the need for stronger regulations and advocacy efforts. The importance of collective action and systemic change is emphasized in this eye-opening episode.
