Immunotherapy and targeted therapies have transformed the way patients are treated and allow more patients than ever before to survive stage IV diagnoses. Other key advancements in oncology being prioritized in Puerto Rico today include early detection and prevention efforts. However, a lack of education, access, and health insurance coverage often prevents community members from timely cancer screenings. The same factors contribute to a lack of diversity in clinical trials, as noted by Dr. Marcia Cruz-Correa. Both these important issues require a community-based approach, through building advisory groups, working with local oncologists, and reaching community members where they are in a way they understand. Guest:  Marcia Cruz-Correa, MD, PhD, AGAF, FASGEExecutive DirectorCentro Comprensivo de Cáncer de la Universidad de PuertoSan Juan, Puerto Rico Quote:  “Less than 5% of patients in the US participate in clinical trials...and less than 5% of that [group] is diverse. That's a huge disadvantage...If you don't include the patients who will eventually be taking the drugs developed by pharmaceutical companies, how do you know it will work for them?” Read more global perspectives from the international panelists who spoke at the October ACCC 41st National Oncology Conference in this ACCCBuzz blog.

Host: Peter Buch, MD, FACG, AGAF, FACP Guest: Michael Camilleri, MD When it comes to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), it's important to keep in mind that there are certain diagnoses clinicians can make to specifically treat the underlying problem that's causing the symptoms that suggest IBS. To learn more about these complex mimickers, join Dr. Peter Buch as he speaks with Dr. Michael Camilleri, Professor of Medicine at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science.

Host: Peter Buch, MD, FACG, AGAF, FACP Guest: David P. Hudesman, MD There's been an increase in the elderly irritable bowel disease (IBD) population, and it's estimated that a third of our overall IBD population will soon be over the age of 60. When managing and diagnosing these patients, there's different factors to consider, like polypharmacy, biological versus chronological age, how fit these patients are versus how frail they are, and more. To take a deep dive into how IBD is affecting elderly patients, join Dr. Peter Buch as he speaks with Dr. David Hudesman, Professor of Medicine and Co-director of NYU Langone's Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center.

Host: Peter Buch, MD, FACG, AGAF, FACP Guest: Francis Farraye, MD Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have an increased risk of developing infections, and some may be preventable with a vaccine. Approximately 70 percent of patients with ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease will be on immunosuppressive therapy at some point during their treatment course, so it's best to try to address vaccines before they're immunosuppressed. So to walk us through some strategies for increasing the number of patients with gastrointestinal diseases who get vaccinated, Dr. Peter Buch is joined by Dr. Farraye, Co-Author of the article, titled “How to Implement a Successful Vaccination Program in Outpatient Gastroenterology Practices: A Focus on Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Chronic Liver Disease,” which appeared in Gastroenterology in 2023 and Professor of Medicine at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida, where he also directs the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center.

Host: Peter Buch, MD, FACG, AGAF, FACP Guest: Alexander Ford, MD Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is diagnosed using the ROME 4 criteria, and fortunately, most patients who meet the criteria for IBS clinically are unlikely to have another underlying explanation for their symptoms. However, a common misconception is that IBS is a diagnosis of exclusion, so to learn more about this and other controversies surrounding IBS, join Dr. Peter Buch as he speaks with Dr. Alexander Ford, Professor of Gastroenterology and Honorary Consultant of Gastroenterology at Leeds Institute of Medical Research at St. James University of Leeds.

Host: Peter Buch, MD, FACG, AGAF, FACP Guest: David Wan, MD Many patients with lower gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding are on anticoagulants, and they may need specific reversal agents depending on what antithrombotic they're on. Tune into this episode to learn more about the article that dives into the management and treatment of acute lower GI bleeding and the challenges along the way with Dr. Peter Buch as he speaks with Dr. David Wan, Associate Professor of Medicine at New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center.

Host: Peter Buch, MD, FACG, AGAF, FACP Guest: Katherine Falloon, MD Extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) that occur in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are almost any manifestation that occur outside the gastrointestinal tract. And patients with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis are at an increased risk for developing these manifestations. So to review EIMs in IBD and discuss the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, Dr. Peter Buch is joined by Dr. Katherine Falloon, Gastroenterologist at the Cleveland Clinic.

Host: Peter Buch, MD, FACG, AGAF, FACP Guest: Ali Soroush, MD, MS Due to recent technological advancements, the use of artificial intelligence to detect a variety of gastroenterological conditions like Barrett's esophagus, gastric cancer, and colon polyps is increasingly being explored. Learn about the application, benefits, and pitfalls of artificial intelligence in gastroenterology with Dr. Peter Buch and Dr. Ali Soroush, Assistant Professor of Gastroenterology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York.

Host: Peter Buch, MD, FACG, AGAF, FACP Guest: Joy Liu, MD For patients with refractory constipation, it's important to evaluate the psychological impact of these symptoms. Unfortunately, this disorder can easily affect a patient's quality of life and keep them from doing their normal routine. So what treatment options can help alleviate some of the burden? Dive in with Dr. Peter Buch as he speaks with Dr. Joy Liu, Instructor of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern.

Host: Peter Buch, MD, FACG, AGAF, FACP Guest: Prabhleen Chahal, MD Post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis is the most dreaded complication of this procedure. So what are the patient-related, procedure-related, and operator-related risk factors for developing post-ERCP pancreatitis, and how can we work to prevent it? Join Dr. Peter Buch as he speaks with Dr. Prabhleen Chahal, Program Director of the Advanced Endoscopy Fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic.
