Going Viral - No one should die from embarrassment
How do you find a disease that no one is looking for? This podcast explores the conundrum of anal cancer and pre-cancer; an HPV-related disease that is misunderstood and often misdiagnosed. The anus is a topic that we don’t talk about…perhaps because this part of our body creates an odd sense of uncleanliness, taboo, and shame. Our podcast will be frank, practical discussions with international medical experts, patients and advocates. We will break through the shame, blame, and denial, and bring awareness to anal cancer and pre-cancer, ultimately saving lives! Please join us for 25 minutes of stimulating, interesting, factual, and life-changing discussion on anal canal and precancer sponsored by IANS (the International Anal Neoplasia Society)!
