Breast, Uterine and Ovarian Cancers

This lecture will consider the treatment and prevention of common cancers in women. The outlook for those with breast cancer and uterine cancer have substantially improved in the last three decades, and the great majority with the diagnosis will be alive and well a decade later. The outlook for ovarian cancer is less good although improving. This lecture will consider the evolving treatments, including the importance of genetic markers and hormonal treatments and approaches to prevention and screening.A lecture by Chris Whitty 27 NovemberThe transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/breast-uterine-ovarian-cancersGresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.
