About this Episode

In this episode of Tumor Minutes, host Netra breaks down the science of cancer—how it starts, how it spreads, and why it’s so hard to treat. From everyday causes like sun exposure to genetic mutations and rogue cells that refuse to stop dividing, she unpacks it all in clear, relatable language. You’ll explore key concepts like tumors (benign vs. malignant), metastasis, oncogenes, tumor suppressors, and groundbreaking treatments like immunotherapy and liquid biopsies. Whether you're a student, science nerd, or just someone curious about cancer, this episode will leave you smarter—and more hopeful.
