Decoding Neuroendocrine Cancer: What is Epidemiology?
In this episode of the 'Not Just One Cancer Takeover Series,' we had the privilege of speaking with Dr. Ben White, a specialist registrar in Gastroenterology and Hepatology. Dr. White's expertise centers on neuroendocrine cancer epidemiology. Epidemiology is the study of how diseases or health conditions spread and affects people in a population, as well as the factors that influence their occurrence. It helps us understand patterns and causes of health-related issues and is crucial in public health and medical research.
Join us for an enlightening conversation as Dr. White shares his experiences in compiling and analysing data for his recent paper. This retrospective, population-based study uncovered a staggering 371% increase in neuroendocrine cancer cases (in England), while other cancers rose by 116%. Dr. White takes us behind the scenes, shedding light on the data selection process and the essential role of epidemiological research. We also explore the exciting ongoing research in the neuroendocrine cancer field.
