Dr Unger talks to ecancer at ASCO 2025 about research he presented investigating the link between climate change and cancer mortality in high-risk areas.

The study identified six key climate factors, including extreme weather and air pollution, that affect these regions. The study revealed that climate impacts significantly influence treatment adherence and patient outcomes, emphasising the need for further evaluations to understand these dynamics.
