Will Cancer Ever Be Cured? An Oncologist Weighs In

What really causes cancer? Will we ever find a cure? And why does our mistrust of medicine and obsession with big pharma conspiracies have such a grip on the way we think about it? In this episode, Jonathan Van Ness sits down with oncologist Dr. Stacy Wentworth to explore the biggest questions surrounding cancer—what science can tell us, what it can’t (yet), and how to reframe the way we talk about this disease. From cutting through fear and misinformation to finding space for hope and empowerment, this conversation offers clarity and compassion for anyone touched by cancer.
