World Cancer Day: Clinical Exec answers the real questions

Loading player...
Today is World Cancer Day, and this year’s theme, “United by Unique,” reminds us that while every cancer journey is personal, prevention is a shared responsibility.

Today, we were joined by Justine Lacy, Clinical Executive at Profmed, who believes too many people are diagnosed late, not because they don’t care, but because they lack access to the right information. Today’s conversation asks one key question: how do we move from awareness to action on cancer prevention?
