In this month’s podcast we find out how US scientists have made an important step toward personalised treatment for cancer, and discuss whether gas hobs can increase cancer risk.

We also hear about new clinical trial results showing that early breast cancer can be treated successfully with fewer, higher doses of radiotherapy.

And our roving reporter Anna Lacey discovers how our researchers in Manchester are developing better ways to deliver radiotherapy to patients with a type of brain tumour known as glioblastoma multiforme.
