Episode 146: Our Health Journey (ft. Dr. Silvia Balbo)

What if we could stop cancer before it starts? In this episode, Dr. Silvia Balbo joins us to explore how environmental and lifestyle-related exposures influence cancer risk—and how her research advances the goal of prevention. From her studies in Italy and Belgium to her work at the International Agency for Research on Cancer in Lyon, France, Dr. Balbo’s career brought her to our Masonic Cancer Center in 2014. She shares her passion for understanding cancer’s causes and the profound impact of her team’s research.  Dr. Balbo also explains how donations through Minnesota Masonic Charities continue to positively impact her lab—and why even a small gift can make a meaningful difference.
