Cancer is a tough topic for a lot of us but, as it's a major cause of mortality and morbidity, as well as a fascinating topic both in terms of medical science and history, we've been wanting to make an episode about it for a while. We chose to start out with breast cancer because it's a well known and common cancer type, both now and throughout history. Salem talks about cancer generally, how it develops, some risk factors for breast cancer specifically and then a few broad breast cancer categories. Mia talks about how treatment evolved through history, as well as social impact of cancer, and then we finish off by discussing challenges associated with cancer treatment and new and upcoming cancer therapies.
