A diagnosis of cancer is life changing. We spend so much time discussing treatment plans and physical side effects of treatment but we don't always have the opportunity to truly discuss how a cancer diagnosis affects a woman emotionally -- her feelings, worries, and fears. However, these conversations need to take place. In this podcast, we will have these difficult conversations. I will be speaki... more

  • Thank you for all that you do!!

    I am so grateful for your podcast! I was diagnosed with metastatic HER2+ in Nov 2023. Underwent TCHP for 6 rounds and it melted the tumor and I have no active cancer cells in my lymph nodes. No surgery or radiation required. I have learned a lot from your podcasts and am going to embark on a plant forward diet. Thank you Dr. Teplinsky!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

200. Ebonie Michelle (Patient Advocate, Breast Cancer Survivor, Founder and CEO of Prowl the LAB)
Q: How did you transition into focusing on sexual health and wellness within cancer care?
Ebonie explains that ongoing personal experiences, clinical observations, and a gap in care motivated her to address sexual health early in the cancer journey, and to create resources and collaborations that support patients and clinicians.
193. Dr. Lucky Sekhon (Reproductive Endocrinologist, Infertility Specialist and Author of The Lucky Egg)
Q: Why is fertility preservation so important when someone is diagnosed with cancer?
Because chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery can irreversibly affect ovarian or testicular function, and preserving eggs or embryos before treatment can provide future family-building options that might otherwise be lost.
197. GnRH Agonists (Lupron/Zoladex) for Ovarian Function Suppression in Premenopausal Hormone Receptor Positive Breast Cancer: Monthly vs Every 3 Months?
Q: Should estradiol levels be monitored more frequently if we adopt a three-month dosing schedule?
Yes, given the higher observed incidence of ovarian escape with ultra-sensitive assays, monitoring estradiol more regularly could be warranted to ensure continued adequate suppression and to inform subsequent therapy choices.
197. GnRH Agonists (Lupron/Zoladex) for Ovarian Function Suppression in Premenopausal Hormone Receptor Positive Breast Cancer: Monthly vs Every 3 Months?
Q: What did they conclude about safety and overall outcomes when comparing the two dosing schedules?
They concluded that there is no meaningful difference in the safety profile or main outcomes between the two dosing schedules, with similar rates of menopausal symptoms and other common adverse effects.
197. GnRH Agonists (Lupron/Zoladex) for Ovarian Function Suppression in Premenopausal Hormone Receptor Positive Breast Cancer: Monthly vs Every 3 Months?
Q: So is the three month dose enough to maintain ovarian suppression without compromising efficacy?
Evidence from the meta-analysis and randomized trials suggests comparable ovarian suppression and progression-free survival between monthly and three-month dosing, though some concerns about ovarian escape arise with ultra-sensitive assays, indicating that patient selection and monitoring are important.
