Fighting Cancer - TED Radio Hour

Fighting Cancer - TED Radio Hour

Cancer Podcasts

TED is a non-profit organisation which aims to spread ideas by way of short, powerful talks given all over the world.  The TED Radio Hour is a collection of excerpts from the talks and interviews with the speakers who have presented on similar topics.  You can listen to the programs or download a podcast.

Recently the topic was Fighting Cancer and some wonderful speakers talked about emerging technologies and scientific discoveries surrounding the early detection of cancer cells and fighting specific cancer cells.  Other talks were about non-medical interventions, how to live with cancer and what it really means to be a cancer survivor.  Well worth listening to for any health professional.
