SO MU CH progress is happening in bladder cancer. On this Healthcare Unfiltered episode, I host Dr. Andrea Apolo, an internationally recognized leader in bladder cancer research from the National Cancer Institute to discuss. Dr. Apolo shares her expertise on recent advancements in urothelial cancer therapy, including key breakthroughs in checkpoint inhibition that have marked a significant turning point in treatment. The conversation delves into optimal sequencing and combination strategies for checkpoint inhibitors, contrasts in treatment approaches between early-stage and late-stage disease, and the evolving landscape of bladder-sparing options. Dr. Apolo also provides an in-depth look at the comprehensive process of designing, executing, and publishing impactful clinical research, highlighted by her latest publication in The New England Journal of Medicine. Read more about her NEJM trial. https://www.nejm.org/doi/abs/10.1056/NEJMoa2401726 Don't forget to check out my book "The Cancer Journey" that just came out and is available everywhere.

Tom Beer, Chief Medical Officer of the Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED) program at Exact Sciences, delves into the groundbreaking science behind MCED tests, which use advanced biomarkers for early detection of multiple cancer types. On this Healthcare Unfiltered episode, he explains who may be eligible for these tests, how to interpret results to avoid unnecessary intervention from over-detection, and discusses the varying sensitivity levels of MCED tests across different cancers. Additionally, Tom shares insights into the Falcon trial – a major real-world study assessing a MCED test clinical performance and potential impact on early cancer detection and patient outcomes.

In this special episode, I give up the microphone to guest host Kelly Ryerson, who takes over the show asking questions about my new book "The Cancer Journey." What inspired the book writing? What methods are used? Who is the target audience? What did the author learn? And what did he aim to achieve? Written for everyone who wants to learn more about cancer, this discussion highlights behind-the-scenes information on my latest book, which took over 2 years to write.
Jon Chait never thought he would get cancer, but one day he found he had it. As he navigates his journey alongside his caregiver and wife heather, he shares with me the good and the bad; the ups and downs, and what he encounters in a broken complex healthcare system.

Kathy Giusti, founder of the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) and a two-time cancer survivor, opens up about her first diagnosis and the life-changing conversation with her primary care doctor. She reflects on the overwhelming "age of information," which often leads patients to more questions than answers, and shares her strategies for dealing with the loss of control that comes with a cancer diagnosis. Kathy also talks about the importance of identifying what truly matters, placing personal priorities in plain sight as daily reminders. She delves into the potential next breakthrough in multiple myeloma research, her success in engaging patients in MMRF’s direction, and offers heartfelt advice for families on when and how to tell children about a cancer diagnosis, as well as other important points through the cancer journey, drawing from her own deeply personal experiences.

Dr. Joe Lennerz, Chief Scientific Officer of BostonGene and a pathologist by training, joins me on Healthcare Unfiltered to break down next-generation sequencing (NGS) in simple terms, discussing why some patients undergo NGS while others do not, along with its advantages and limitations. My guest also explores the impact of NGS on treatment pathways, the practicality of minimal residual disease (MRD) detection, liquid biopsy, and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), and whether immediate action should be taken after MRD detection. Additionally, Dr. Lennerz examines multi-cancer early detection technologies, who should be tested, and the future need for regulatory oversight in this rapidly advancing field. So much science in this one that you'd want to listen to it twice. And, please check out my book "The Cancer Journey" available everywhere - I do discuss NGS briefly in the last chapter.

Dr. Sanjay Patel of Weill Cornell and Dr. Greg Goldgof of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center dive into the transformative role of AI in modern pathology. They discuss how large language models (LLMs) are enhancing diagnostic workflows, expediting report synthesis, and shaping the future of patient care. The conversation also touches on the complex training required to ready AI systems for clinical use, the areas of pathology most impacted by AI today, and how this technology is being integrated into the education of future pathologists.
