Welcome back to That Cancer Conversation!

Artificial Intelligence is no longer science fiction. It's here and it's becoming part of our everyday lives. But what happens when AI steps into the world of healthcare? Could it actually help us beat cancer?

In this episode we’re joined by Lara Lewington, a technology journalist and author of the bestselling book, Hacking Humanity: How technology can save your health and your life. Lara explains how AI is shaping the healthcare of tomorrow and how it could change the way we prevent, diagnose and treat cancer.

We’re also joined by Professor Peter Coveney, from University College London. He discusses his work on digital twins - a virtual version of you that could help make real-life healthcare smarter and safer.

We discuss the risks and benefits of AI and ask one of the biggest questions: could AI ever replace doctors?

Welcome to series 4 of That Cancer Conversation!

We kick off the first episode of the new series discussing the power of exercise. We all know exercise is good for our health. It can make a huge difference to our overall wellbeing and recovery, but could it go even further? Could it help us survive cancer?

In this episode we’re first joined by Kara Miller, a former professional netball player who was diagnosed with bowel cancer back in 2022. She reflects on her athletic career and how it helped her not only through cancer treatment but also inspired her to become a cancer rehabilitation personal trainer.

We also hear from Professor Vicky Coyle, a researcher at Queen’s University Belfast who led the UK arm of the CHALLENGE trial, investigating whether exercise could help people survive bowel cancer. She shares the incredible results of her research and what this could mean for the future of cancer treatment and care.

Welcome to another episode of That Cancer Conversation!

For our series finale, Sophie is joined by royal correspondent and best-selling author, Katie Nicholl.

Katie has spent over 20 years writing about the British royal family, from A-levels to coronations, Katie has reported it all. But when King Charles III and Princess Catherine both announced their cancer diagnoses, their stories hit very close to home, as only a few months earlier Katie finished her own treatment for liver cancer.

On this episode, Katie talks to Sophie about her own personal cancer story, being diagnosed with a rare form of liver cancer (cholangiocarcinoma), and reflects on the impact the King and Princess of Wales have made from their own cancer experiences.

You can watch the full episode on our YouTube channel!

We’ll be back soon with series 4! Thank you for tuning in and subscribe to be the first to listen to new episodes.
