It is widely reported that one in two people in the UK will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, with a person being diagnosed every 90 seconds (Macmillan Cancer Support, 2025). This very sobering statistic is made even more real by the connectivity and interdependence we have with people across our working and social lives. Efforts to discover new cures and treatments for cancer continue at pace, as does genetic research to understand how certain cancers develop, why certain people may be more affected and may respond to treatment in different ways.
