Preparation
None.
What will we do?
Cancer isn’t as simple as it sounds and different types behave in very different ways. But they all share the same roots: something goes wrong in how cells grow and divide, and the body’s normal defenses fail to catch it.
This talk breaks down how that happens, why it often takes years to develop, what the real risk factors are, and what modern treatments are actually doing.
Organization
You are worried you have nothing to contribute? No worries! Everyone is welcome!
There always is a mix of German and English speakers and we configure the discussion rounds so that everyone feels comfortable participating. The primary language is English.
This meetup will be hosted by Catarina.
There will be snacks and drinks.
We will go and get dinner after the meetup. Anyone who has time is welcome to join.
