    A stark warning that New Zealand isn't doing enough to stop cancer before it starts

    A stark warning that New Zealand isn't doing enough to stop cancer before it starts


    The 2025 State of Cancer report shows shows diagnoses are increasing and new cases are set to increase by 50-percent in the next two decades.

    Auckland University Public Health Professor Chris Bullen says these could be prevented by focused efforts on factors like alcohol, smoking and food.

    He says if we focus on prevention, we won't have to spend as much money on expensive treatments down the line. 12-12-25 1901
