Can I inherit cancer? 34:15

Our DNA is made up of 3000 million letters of code. They make up genes within our DNA and are responsible for how cells in our body grow and multiply. But what happens when something in that code goes wrong? Welcome to another episode of That Cancer Conversation, a podcast from Cancer Research UK that brings together the science and the stories behind cancer. In this episode, Sophie will be looking at the human genome and explore how changes in our DNA can increase our risk of getting cancer. Prof Mike Stratton, former director of the Wellcome Sanger Institute and a pioneer in cancer genetics, helps unpack this question and tells us how he and his team persevered to find the second BRCA gene (BRCA2) and its mutation. It’s been 30 years since the discovery of the first BRCA gene, BRCA1. Sophie sits down with Maria, her sister, Chrissy, and their mother, all who were tested positive for the BRCA2 gene mutation. They discuss their cancer stories and how the life-changing discovery of the BRCA genes has affected them as a family.

Longer, better lives: Ep.3 Why is there a £1 billion research funding gap? 22:53

You can’t beat cancer without scientists. Without research the progress we've made in beating cancer wouldn’t be where it is today. But that progress is at risk of stalling. To keep up and to plug the funding gap, we would need to find an additional £1 billion pounds over the next decade. In this episode, Sophie sits down with Owen Jackson, head of policy at Cancer Research UK to understand what challenges scientists in the UK are currently facing and what the UK Government needs to do to help.

What's causing the cancer care gap? 36:11

1 year sitten36:11

36:11

We’ve made huge progress on cancer in the last 50 years. But not all of it has been felt equally. People’s experience of the healthcare system, and ultimately how likely they are to be successfully diagnosed and treated, varies massively. These are known as health inequalities and can be caused by a range of factors. In this episode of That Cancer Conversation, we’re exploring how deprivation impacts cancer inequalities and what we can do to narrow the gap. We speak to Cancer Research advocate and public health manager for Luton, Elizabeth Bailey, the lead researcher of the Inequalities Cancer Outcome Network programme, Professor Bernard Rachet and Julia Cotterill, a health information officer here at Cancer Research UK.

Welcome to another episode of That Cancer Conversation! We’re launching a new subseries which unpacks our recently published manifesto, Longer, Better Lives: A Manifesto for Cancer Research and Care . At Cancer Research UK, we know that huge strides have been made in beating cancer – with survival in the UK doubling over the last 50 years. But this hard-won progress is at risk of stalling. The cancer crisis is urgent. Every day, people affected by cancer face anxious waits for tests and treatment, reflected in month after month of missed cancer waiting time targets. And for UK cancer research, we’ve identified a funding gap of more than £1bn in the next decade, putting our world leading research at risk. That’s why, in late 2023, we embarked on an ambitious policy development programme, giving a voice to the millions of patients and thousands of researchers who are demanding for real progress in cancer research and care in the UK. And so, Longer, better lives was born. Follow Sophie over the next five episodes as she uncovers the missions behind this manifesto and why we need it now more than ever. In this first episode, Sophie speaks to Shaun Walsh, Head of public affairs and campaigns at Cancer Research UK. Shaun has followed the manifesto’s journey, from conception to its launch in November, and explains what it is and why Cancer Research UK has created it.

The world of clinical trials 39:53

Clinical trials are a vital step in the development of new medicines of any kind, and that includes new cancer treatments. They aim to find out whether new treatments are safe and effective and work better than current treatments. In this episode of That Cancer Conversation, we're going to take you into the world of clinical research and walk you through the pathway, from how we design trials in the first place, right through to taking part, to give you the full picture of what a clinical trial really involves. We spoke to Ruth Plummer, professor of experimental cancer medicine at the University of Newcastle, Karen Turner, a senior research nurse at the University of Birmingham, and Peter, who took part in the Cancer Research UK-funded CHHiP trial after being diagnosed with prostate cancer.

How does cancer affect a family? 35:31

2 years sitten35:31

35:31

Our latest podcast is about how families cope with cancer, and the scientific progress helping them through. Austin was diagnosed with a type of blood cancer called acute lymphoblastic leukaemia when he was 2 years old. In 2016, scientists took some cells from Austin’s immune system. Dr Sara Ghorashian, from the Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health, changed them so they could recognise cancer cells as a threat. Then they were put back into Austin’s body. Since then, Austin has been cancer free. Now he’s even helping researchers find out how to make CAR-T cell therapy more effective. Lou and Scott take us through Austin’s story, and Sara guides us through the science that has helped keep it going. We also speak to Caroline Leek, a former scientist who specialises in supporting families affected by cancer, about how focusing on fun can help adults and children talk about painful and emotional experiences.

In our new podcast series, That Cancer Conversation: One to One, we’re talking to the people who make Cancer Research UK what it is. September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and in this first episode we’re hearing from Dr Laura Danielson, our research lead for children’s and young people’s cancer. Laura moved across the Atlantic to make sure her work had the best chance of helping patients. And, since arriving in the UK, she’s gone from testing a neuroblastoma treatment as one of our funded researchers to managing our entire research strategy for children’s and young people’s cancers. Here she takes us through everything she’s learned along the way, explaining how the people she’s met and the challenges she’s faced continue to drive her, and reflecting on what it means to work for a future where all children and young people can live longer, better lives, free from the fear of cancer.

How can we improve LGBTQ+ cancer care? 37:46

2 years sitten37:46

Beating cancer means beating it for everyone. And crucial to doing that is tackling health inequalities, unfair and avoidable differences in health across the population and between different groups within society. In this episode, we're diving into the inequalities faced by one group in particular, the LGBTQ+ community, and what we can do to make cancer care more inclusive for everyone. To get some insight into the inequalities in cancer care in the LGBTQ+ community and what needs to change to reduce them, we hear from Dr Alison Berner a medical oncologist, academic clinical lecturer, and speciality doctor in adult gender identity medicine, and Stewart O’Callaghan , founder and CEO of the LGBTQ+ cancer charity OutPatients. (Note, OutPatients was known as Live Through This at the time of recording, and is therefore referred to as such throughout the episode).
