Dr Bill Dahut: Chief Scientific Officer for the American Cancer Society

The Extra Mile - The Official Charity Miles Podcast

We're thrilled to share this interview with Dr. Bill Dahut, Chief Scientific Officer of the American Cancer Society.

Dr. Dahut is a renowned oncologist and researcher who is helping set the vision for the world’s most innovative cancer research initiatives.

In this interview, we cover a wide range of topics, including the groundbreaking research the American Cancer Society is supporting, the critical role of early cancer detection, and how lifestyle choices like diet, and exercise can significantly reduce cancer risk.

Dr. Dahut is both inspiring and empowering, because he gives us an inside view for how we can all make an impact —not only by fundraising but also by living healthier lives to reduce our risk of getting cancer.

After all, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Huge thanks to Dr. Dahut for his leadership and taking the time to share so much with us.

Also a huge thanks to everyone at the American Cancer Society for leading the charge in the fight against cancer, and for giving us all the opportunity to be a part of it.
