Talk: The gut microbiome and cancer prevention
The gut microbiome is the frontline of the immune system. New research is helping us to understand the relationship between the gut microbiome, the immune system and cancer, and how nutrition can influence those complex dynamics. In this session, Kirsten Chick will unpick the latest science, and explain what that might mean in practical terms: how can we eat to help prevent cancer?
