DESCRIPTION:We may or may not get cancer in our lifetimes.  Ho
 w do we deal with such uncertainty?  The answer to
  this question is important: our mental picture of
  how we get cancer will influence our behaviour\, 
 which in turn will influence whether we do actuall
 y get cancer.\n\nModels of carcinogenesis presente
 d in the popular press – and even in academic jour
 nals – often over-simplify (totally deterministic 
 or hopelessly random) to the extent that behaviour
 al changes seem pointless.  In contrast\, the Spea
 ker will propose an analogy for carcinogenesis\, b
 ased on the roulette wheel\, which respects the un
 derlying stochastic nature of the process while le
 aving room for us to shift the odds in our favour.
