Conquering Cancer (2022)
Aims to propel change by supporting the WHO's cervical cancer elimination targets of vaccination, screening and treatment. Imagine a world without cancer. Cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide. Cervical cancer alone kills over 300,000 women each year. But these deaths are preventable. Cervical cancer - the fourth most common in women - is on the brink of being the first to be eliminated. And the implications of this on conquering cancer more broadly are profound. This program looks at the quest to eliminate cervical cancer. Professor Ian Frazer describes the implications as "rivalling the end of polio in terms of shear impact on humankind.
