Can Deaths from Cancer be Prevented? by Dr David J Hunter

The ‪@harvardchanirc‬ hosted a talk titled 'Can Deaths from Cancer be Prevented' by Dr David J. Hunter, Richard Doll Professor of Epidemiology and Medicine and Director of the Translational Epidemiology Unit at the Nuffield Department of Population Health, University of Oxford, UK and Vincent L. Gregory Professor of Cancer Prevention, Emeritus, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. The talk was held on March 2, 2023 in Mumbai and online. Cancer is sometimes thought of as an inevitable consequence of ageing. The large differences in cancer rates between countries and over time within countries suggest that it is not. In his talk, Dr Hunter reviews the evidence that 50% of cancer deaths globally could be prevented, and the extent to which better treatment of cancer could prevent death from cancers once they are diagnosed.
