Episode Synopsis


New Zealand has the chance to virtually eliminate cervical cancer but the uptake of a vaccination that prevents it remains incredibly low. The latest State of Cancer report released today says half of all cancers are preventable.

Head of Advocacy and Public Affairs at the Cancer Society, Rachael Neumann spoke to Lisa Owen.
