About This Podcast

Welcome to Tumor Minutes, a podcast created by Netra, a student passionate about understanding the complexities of brain tumors. This podcast is a deep dive into the science, stories, and struggles surrounding brain tumors. Through interviews with medical professionals, survivors, and researchers, I aim to shed light on the latest advancements in treatment, the emotional impact on patients and families, and raise awareness about this often misunderstood condition. Whether you’re a student, healthcare enthusiast, or someone personally affected, join me on this journey to better understand cancers and the people who fight against them.
