Making Sense Of Cancer With Hannah FryJuly 29, 2025

Hannah Fry is a professor of maths and is used to investigating the world around her through numbers. When she's diagnosed with cervical cancer at the age of 36 she starts to interrogate the way we diagnose and treat cancer by digging into the statistics, to ask whether we are making the right choices in how we treat this disease. Are we sometimes too quick to screen and treat cancer? Do doctors always speak to us honestly about the subject? It may seem like a dangerous question to ask, but are we at risk of over-medicalising cancer?
