Did you know that where you live could impact your cancer survival chances? Despite having a centralized healthcare system, the UK still faces stark inequalities in cancer care—and for many patients, their postcode can be a deciding factor in their prognosis.

In this episode, Paul Adepoju speaks with Suping Ling, an epidemiologist and assistant professor at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, about the socioeconomic disparities in cancer survival and the hidden burden of second primary cancers.

🔬 Key topics discussed:
✔️ How deprivation affects cancer survival rates
✔️ The growing concern of second primary cancers in breast cancer survivors
✔️ Why patients from lower-income areas face worse health outcomes
✔️ The role of AI and innovation in cancer care—can they close the gap?
✔️ Policy solutions to ensure equitable access to life-saving treatments

This conversation is a must-watch for anyone interested in public health, cancer research, and health equity. Let's talk about what can be done to ensure where you live doesn’t dictate your chance of survival.
