Cancer Questions is a podcast by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute that addresses some of the most common questions surrounding cancer. From screening recommendations to actionable ways to decrease your cancer risk, our experts provide research-backed insights that everyone can use.
Brian Wolpin, MD, MPH, explains how diabetes raises the risk of certain cancers, including colon, liver, pancreatic, breast, and endometrial cancers.
Lifestyle changes like regular exercise, a healthy diet, weight management, and routine cancer screenings, such as mammograms and colonoscopies, can help reduce risk and ensure early detection.

Can Blood Cancers Be Inherited?
Lachelle Weeks, MD, PhD, explains how 4-5% of blood cancers are caused by heritable conditions, meaning an abnormal gene is passed down within a family. Most blood cancers, however, are sporadic and occur by chance.
For individuals with a strong family history of blood cancers, the Center for Early Detection and Interception of Blood Cancers at Dana-Farber provides personalized risk assessments and surveillance strategies to help mitigate risk. While there are no universal screening programs for blood cancers yet, efforts are underway to develop early detection methods.
