The Invisible Cancer - Bringing Visibility to Neuroendocrine Cancer
The Invisible Cancer Podcast raises awareness of neuroendocrine cancer, a cancer most people have never heard of, and this lack of awareness can affect diagnosis, treatment, and care. Through real-life stories, expert insights, and practical advice, we explore the challenges patients face, from initial diagnosis to management, including the impact on mental health and ongoing follow-up.
Hosted by Lisa Walker and produced by Neuroendocrine Cancer UK, this podcast shines a light on neuroendocrine and other often-overlooked cancers, offering information, support, and connection to anyone affected.

In this episode of the 'Not Just One Cancer Takeover Series,' we had the privilege of speaking with Dr. Ben White, a specialist registrar in Gastroenterology and Hepatology. Dr. White's expertise centers on neuroendocrine cancer epidemiology. Epidemiology is the study of how diseases or health conditions spread and affects people in a population, as well as the factors that influence their occurrence. It helps us understand patterns and causes of health-related issues and is crucial in public health and medical research.
Join us for an enlightening conversation as Dr. White shares his experiences in compiling and analysing data for his recent paper. This retrospective, population-based study uncovered a staggering 371% increase in neuroendocrine cancer cases (in England), while other cancers rose by 116%. Dr. White takes us behind the scenes, shedding light on the data selection process and the essential role of epidemiological research. We also explore the exciting ongoing research in the neuroendocrine cancer field.
