Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bispecific Antibodies in Thoracic Oncology
Q: Why do patients not respond to PD-1 inhibitors, or fail to get durable benefit and develop resistance?
Abhijit Pal describes primary and acquired resistance, including tumors lacking the target, limited T-cell infiltration, other inhibitory pathways and a suppressive tumor microenvironment.
Bispecific Antibodies in Thoracic Oncology
Q: Would you be able to give us a little bit of an introduction into bispecific antibodies and how they might differ from conventional monoclonal antibodies?
Rachel Roberts-Thomson explains that bispecific antibodies are engineered to bind two different antigens, unlike monoclonal antibodies, which bind one. They can bring biological processes together and may create therapeutic effects beyond combining two separate antibodies.
Prof Zarnie Lwin OAM: Mentorship, Research, and the Future of Lung Cancer Treatment
Q: What are the pros and cons of overseas versus local fellowships?
International experiences shape professional growth and broaden networks, but local fellowships can be equally valuable for building regional leadership; the key is growth, adaptability, and selecting environments that expand one's capabilities.
Dr. Jazmin Eckhaus: Robotic Innovations and Ethics in Thoracic Surgery
Q: Could you talk about the ANZ Thoracic Surgical Database and how it was conceived and what role you play in it?
The database emerged to quantify thoracic surgical activity and outcomes across Victoria, with the aim of providing meaningful quality indicators and enabling hospitals to benchmark performance; the founder described making data entry feasible and valuable for clinical auditing.
Dr. Jazmin Eckhaus: Robotic Innovations and Ethics in Thoracic Surgery
Q: What motivated your ethics-focused Master's degree, and what core problem were you aiming to address in consent theory?
The project examined traditional consent models and argued for a relational approach that better reflects real-world decision-making, ensuring consent is a practical, nuanced process rather than a mere formality.
