Out d’Coup LIVE | Award-winning journalist Kristina Marusic on her new book, ”A New War on Cancer”

<p>On this episode of Out d'Coup LIVE, I welcome Kristina Marusic back to the show. We'll be talking about her new book, "A New War on Cancer: The Unlikely Heroes Revolutionizing Prevention." While we've been waging a "war" on cancer for more than fifty years, but it's not a war we're winning. Yes, treatments are better than ever, but cancer still claims the lives of one in five men and one in six women in the US. The astonishing news is that up to two-thirds of all cancer cases are linked to preventable environmental causes. If we can stop cancer before it begins, why don’t we? </p> <p>In "A New War on Cancer," Kristina Marusic does a deep dive into the remarkable doctors, scientists, and advocates who are upending our understanding of cancer and how to fight it. They recognize that we will never reduce cancer rates without ridding our lives of the chemicals that increasingly trigger this deadly disease. </p> <p>Kristina Marusic is an award-winning journalist who covers environmental health and justice for Environmental Health News. She holds an MFA in nonfiction writing from the University of San Francisco, and her personal essays and reporting on topics ranging from the environment, LGBTQ+ equality, and politics to feminism, food, and travel have been published by outlets including CNN, Slate, Vice, Women's Health, the Washington Post, MTV News, The Advocate, and Bustle, among others.
