Skin and lung cancers are among the deadliest — and most common — cancers in the world. But there is real hope, better outcomes, and more effective treatments than ever before.

• The latest in lung cancer treatments
• Vaping, smoking, and the future of tobacco bans
• How immunotherapy is transforming outcomes for melanoma
• What SPF to use and why it matters—even in winter
• How your genetic profile can unlock targeted cancer treatment

This week Dr. Hilary Show is joined by Larry Lamb – a man who’s played everyone from lovable Mick Shipman in Gavin and Stacey to the infamous Archie Mitchell in EastEnders. But there’s much more to Larry than iconic characters. He’s a novelist, broadcaster, and passionate storyteller.

Larry opens up about his fascinating journey from the oil fields of Libya to global film sets, his deep respect for the crews who make the magic happen, and how a long-held film idea became the blueprint for his debut novel. They discuss Larry’s candid health battles, the power of reconciliation, and his moving connection to Marie Curie through his brother’s final days
