Health Feature: New research reveals how cancer hides from the immune system

Gugs Mhlungu is joined by Kevin Naidoo, a professor of Scientific Computing and Physical Chemistry at the University of Cape Town, unpacking new research revealing how cancer cells hide from the immune system, making it difficult to detect cancer in the body. They unpack why this discovery is a breakthrough and how it could pave the way for improved cancer detection, more effective vaccines, and treatments that help the body's immune system recognise and destroy hidden cancer cells.  Gugs Mhlungu is your weekend companion for thoughtful conversations on lifestyle, health, culture, books, food, and everything happening around 702Land.
