As France 24 marks World Cancer Day, Carys Garland welcomes Dr. Pinar Uysal Onganer to explore the inner workings and complexities of modern cancer research, treatment, screening, and prevention. While AI holds great promise, it is no substitute for a collective, human-centred approach. “We do have the technology, we do have the knowledge but we do need to work together,” she affirms. 'Cancer is an extremely complicated disease', and so Dr. Onganer calls for a united effort where education and awareness take centre stage: “Prevention brings huge power.”
