  • Excellent podcast!

    I’m a scientist myself and love this podcast. Very informative! I need to comment on the Rachel Perry episode where she said (after she mentioned the multiple studies that showed outcomes are improved and patients who exercise!) “we shouldn’t force people to exercise— hopefully, we find an “exercise pill”” Sorry, but that is what’s wrong with our world. We have a country where 90% of adults are metabolically sick. We have an alarmingly high rate of fatty liver disease, and obesity, particularly,... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Treating a cancer patient’s mental health while they go through treatments.
Q: What advice would you have for family members or close friends or caregivers on how to support someone with cancer?
Be flexible and acknowledge that caregiving is imperfect; focus on your own strengths, listen actively, and align your support with what the patient needs, rather than trying to fix everything perfectly.
Treating a cancer patient’s mental health while they go through treatments.
Q: When we talk about providing mental health services to people who have cancer, we're often talking about a team approach. Is that correct?
Yes, the approach is typically integrated, involving psychotherapy, medications, and input from caregivers and other professionals to tailor treatment to the patient's needs and preferences.
The latest advances and trends in detecting colorectal cancer in a population that is trending younger.
Q: What has changed in colon cancer treatment over the past decade?
There has been substantial refinement in selecting which biologics and chemotherapies to start with, as well as molecularly tailoring therapy based on mutations like KRAS and BRAF and mismatch repair status, leading to significantly longer median survivals and the possibility of earlier integration of targeted and immune therapies.
A discussion on lung cancer which is the number one cancer cause of death
Q: What are the big advances for extensive stage small cell lung cancer?
Immunotherapy and targeted therapy are the two major advances, with immunotherapy providing meaningful survival benefits in many patients.
A discussion on lung cancer which is the number one cancer cause of death
Q: Are the numbers getting better?
The numbers are improving gradually due to better screening and lower smoking rates, but the decline in deaths lags behind changes in smoking behavior.
