Description

Dr Shulman speaks with ecancertv at the 2016 World Cancer Congress about the conference debate session, in which he was cast in opposition to spending resources only on cancer prevention in low income countries.

In his role of providing a counterpoint, he highlights how many treatable diseases occur in children, and the likelihood of disease in later life that could not have been prevented.

His final point is the economic disparity inherent in recommeding a preventative-only regimen in low-income countries, and that unpreventable diseases need not be terminal.
