Dr Azra Raza: The First Cell, Unravelling The Mystery of Cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Few adults on the planet have not been touched, either directly or indirectly, by cancer. Cancer is one of the things many people see as an inevitable part of life that they hope and pray does not visit directly onto their own life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine for a moment the grief of being an oncologist (a cancer specialist) and the weight that would put on your life. Every day, you work with people, 70% of whom you will walk to their death. Would that make you want to quit and find a new field?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now imagine that you are not only watching as these people die but that you discover that the love of your life, another oncologist, is diagnosed with untreatable cancer, and you must walk them through to the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For most of us, that would make us want to crawl into a hole and never return. Well, not for our guest, Dr. Azra Raza. Instead, she is pioneering the understanding of cancer and, most importantly, its earliest detection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Raza immigrated to the U.S. with a clear intention: to cure cancer. She has traveled a long way from where she grew up in Karachi, Pakistan, to the dining room of President Joe Biden home at the Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Raza was invited with a handful of other cancer specialists to offer their perspectives on the current cancer landscape, which contributed to shaping what is now known as the “Cancer Moonshot” She has been featured in the New York Times, The Guardian, The Times, The Smithsonian, and numerous other high-profile outlets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Raza\u2019s latest bestselling book, “THE FIRST CELL” is a searing account of how medicine and our society (mis) treat cancer, how we can do better, and why we must. Her life is devoted to early detection and prevention of cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
