March 2009 podcast
In the March podcast we find about a new series of super cancer centres that are opening across the UK – the first is in Birmingham. Plus, cervical cancer is in the news at the moment, so we find out the signs and symptoms every woman should look for, and why screening is so important. And did you know that your DNA is constantly under attack – not just from things such as harmful chemicals or ultraviolet light, but from your own cells? We delve into the tiny world of worms to discover what they have taught us about DNA damage and repair, and how they could pave the way for future cancer treatments.
