Not only is he an oncologist, but a survivor of cancer himself. Dr. Lewis completed his training in hematology and oncology at the Mayo Clinic before becoming a cancer specialist focusing on gastrointestinal tumors. However, not only did Dr. Lewis learn about cancer from the physician standpoint, but from the patient standpoint himself as he was diagnosed and treated for a rare cancer himself while in training. Given his unique perspectives, Dr. Lewis is able to provide incredibly valuable insight into what we can and can’t do about our cancer risk.
In this episode, we discuss the basics of cancer, what we can do to reduce our risk of cancer, what is under our control, and what we should leave up to the powers that be. We also talk about what is and isn’t evidence based when it comes to “alternative” treatments, various products, supplements, diets, and exercise as they relate to cancer prevention and treatment.
