  • Great, informative

    Highly recommend, after listening to two episodes. I am working on becoming a two-time survivor of bc, and I can tell you there is a ton of scary, misleading, and not-very-helpful information out there. This podcast has information that’s relevant to people with different types of bc and at different stages of treatment. It’s also current, which is important in this fast-moving field of health care. I have so many questions, but after listening to this podcast, I feel like I now have some good a... more

  • Disappointed

    This women’s story was very moving and relatable. However, it said that it was going to discuss reconstruction. She had the Diep flap, which I’m leaning b toward, but trying to gather as much info as possible. Unless I missed something, it was never mentioned in the interview. So very disappointed!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Be Your Own Best Advocate
Q: Yeah. Now, to a more, a little bit more serious subject, your grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was very young and passed away before you were born. Can you tell us, how did that affect you growing up and how does it affect you and your family now?
The episode explores how family history shaped the host and guest's approach to health, highlighting the long-lasting impact of a young diagnosis and the importance of seeking information to empower proactive prevention and informed decisions.
How to Best Treat Oligometastatic Breast Cancer
Q: Could you summarize the main finding of the study regarding surgery of the primary tumor?
The study found that patients who had breast surgery as part of their treatment tended to have better survival than those who did not, particularly when combined with treatment of distant metastases, though causation cannot be proven due to the retrospective nature of the data.
Top Breast Cancer Research at ASCO 2026
Q: What about the role of ovarian suppression in the prosigna-driven strategy?
Ovarian suppression was required in the studied cohorts with Prosigna-driven decisions; whether patients can omit suppression remains uncertain and depends on individual risk and test results.
Top Breast Cancer Research at ASCO 2026
Q: Can the results be applied to younger patients under 40?
No, the data primarily apply to patients 40 and older; younger patients may not have the same risk-benefit balance, and decisions should follow the data.
Creating More Equitable Health Systems
Q: What are the four main health-system functions you focus on to improve cancer care, and why are they essential?
Governance, financing, service delivery, and human resources form the core of effective health systems; without addressing all four, you end up with inefficiencies and inequities across stages of cancer care.
