Cancer Prevention, Management, and Recovery | The Future You

What if surviving cancer wasn’t the end goal—living well after cancer was the goal? In this powerful episode of The Future You, host Richard Dorment (Editor-in-Chief of Men’s Health and Women’s Health) sits down with bestselling author and three-time leukemia survivor Suleika Jaouad, and NYU Langone Health oncologist and co-director of the Mignone Women’s Health Collaborative, Dr. Elizabeth Comen, to explore the lived reality of a cancer diagnosis and the emotional toll that often goes unspoken.

We’re also joined by actor and cancer advocate Colin Egglesfield, who shares his deeply personal story of being diagnosed with cancer three times and why breaking the silence around men’s health is more important than ever. What You’ll Learn:
o The problem with “battle” language in cancer conversations
o How stigma and gender bias shape diagnosis, care, and recovery
o Tools for early cancer detection and genetic risk assessment
o The emotional and sexual health challenges of survivorship
o Where cancer care is headed: liquid biopsies, personalized therapy & beyond

Whether you’ve been touched by cancer or want to better understand how healthcare is evolving, this conversation offers wisdom, empathy, and a roadmap for what’s next.
