This episode is brought to you by Cancer Research UK. Our bodies are incredible machines, whirring away, making more and more DNA to build the proteins that keep us alive. In fact, in the last minute, your body has made over 200 million new cells and enough DNA to stretch to the moon and back. To the moon and back. That's so much DNA that if you compared it to the size of the cell it fits into, that would be like squeezing the London Underground into a suitcase. By the age of 50, you have copied almost 6 trillion miles of DNA. But every time that your body copies DNA, it risks making mistakes. And over time, those mistakes can accumulate and that collection of errors can lead to cancer. But incredibly, Cancer Research UK scientists can spot these errors. And by finding them, they've helped double UK cancer survival over the last 50 years and are driving even more discoveries that could tackle over 200 types of cancer.

For adults with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis symptoms, every choice matters. Tremphaya offers self-injection or intravenous infusion from the start. Tremphaya is administered as injections under the skin or infusions through a vein every four weeks, followed by injections under the skin every four or eight weeks. If your doctor decides that you can self-inject Tremphaya, proper training is required. Tremphaya is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease and adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis. Serious allergic reactions, increased risk of infections or lower ability to fight them, and liver problems may occur. Before treatment, get checked for infections and tuberculosis. Tell your doctor if you have an infection, flu-like symptoms, or need a vaccine. Explore what's possible. Ask your doctor about Trimphia today. Call 1-800-526-7736 to learn more or visit trimphiaradio.com.

This episode is brought to you by Cancer Research UK. What if your immune system could learn to recognize cancer cells? That's immunotherapy. One type is CAR T-cell therapy. T-cells are your body's watchman, and doctors can now extract these and reprogram them to spot cancer. They've started showing this real promise in treating cancers of the blood like leukemia. Because unlike most cancers, blood cancer cells, they float around separately. And that makes it easier for CAR T cells to seek them out and destroy them. And now Cancer Research UK funded scientists are designing CAR T cells that can tackle solid tumors too, making them tougher so they can survive a more crowded and hostile cancer environment. Now, these approaches are experimental, but they do start to show where treatment might go next. And over the past 50 years, Cancer Research UK's pioneering work has helped to double cancer survival in the UK. I mean, this shows you how far research can take us.

This episode is brought to you by Cancer Research UK. Scientists have found that cancer risks usually increase with age and size, but some species defy the odds. For example, deep-sea Greenland sharks. They can grow over six metres long, weigh more than a small car, and yet live for up to 400 years. Now, understanding how Greenland sharks cellular repair and immune systems seem to have managed to keep them cancer-free for centuries, that could open up exciting research pathways. Essentially over millions of years, Evolution has been running the world's most successful cancer prevention trial. And sometimes breakthroughs can be found in unusual places. So by exploring the unexpected, Cancer Research UK scientists are uncovering new ways to tackle over 200 types of cancer. Their work has helped to double survival in the UK over the last 50 years and continues to save and improve lives around the world.

A two hundred fifty milligram per two milliliter injection, is a prescription medicine used to treat adults and children 12 years of age and older who weigh at least eighty eight pounds or forty kilograms with moderate to severe eczema, also called atopic dermatitis, that is not well controlled with prescription therapies used on the skin or topicals, or who cannot use topical therapies. EBCLIS can be used with or without topical corticosteroids. Don't use if you're allergic to EBCLIS. Allergic reactions can occur that can be severe. Eye problems can occur. Tell your doctor if you have new or worsening eye problems. You should not receive a live vaccine when treated with EBCLIS. Before starting EBCLIS, tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection. Ask your doctor about EBCLIS and visit eblis.lily.com or call 1-800-545-5979.
