Who Should You Trust: Understanding Cancer Misinformation with Dr Richard Simcock

from So Now I’ve Got Breast Cancer · host Dr Liz O‘Riordan / Bird Lime Media

That’s why I needed to get Consultant Oncologist and Chief Medical Officer for Macmillan, Richard Simcock, onto this episode to help us sift through fact and fiction.     Show Notes   Website - https://www.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-information-and-support/worried-about-cancer/cancer-myths-and-misinformation   Cancer Research also has a guide to spotting cancer misinformation - https://news.cancerresearchuk.org/2024/02/16/sorting-fact-from-fiction-a-guide-to-spotting-health-misinformation/
