Episode 49: Breaking cancer news - March 2026

It's that time of the month again when Steve Bland and Femi Odewale dissect the month's cancer news - and this time it's March 2026.

Steve and Femi cover National CNS Day, how the alliance is reducing cancer inequalities for Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities; research from the European Code Against Cancer which says tackling air pollution should be part of government work to cut cancer rates; 30 years of Maggie's centres and a new study that has found that globally, six cancers are rising faster in younger adults than older ones.
