Does having darker skin really protect you from skin cancer? Can you imagine getting a Pap smear every single day for 21 years just to help your husband’s research? And, what do you do if your vagina involuntarily “clenches” during sex. In this episode, we speak to Professor Georgina Long, Medical Director of Melanoma Institute Australia (MIA) and 2024 Australian of the Year, to decode Australia’s complicated relationship with the sun. We talk about the "ABCDE" rule for checking your moles, whether darker skin tones are at less risk of melanoma and why you should be taking photos of your skin spots.Plus, in Med School, Claire and Dr Mariam pay tribute to the unsung heroines of medical history - from the wife of Dr. Papanicolaou (who underwent daily pap smears for 21 years ) to Anarcha Westcott, the enslaved woman known as the 'mother of modern gynecology', who endured 30 experimental surgeries without anaesthesia.And, in our Quick Consult, Dr Mariam helps a listener named Sarah who is struggling with Vaginismus. We break down exactly what this condition is, why it is a physical reflex rather than "just in your head" and the multidisciplinary team you need to help reclaim your sex life.THE END BITS All your health information is in the Well Hub.

Medicus Pharma CEO Dr Raza Bokhari joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce that the company has received encouraging feedback from its recent Type C meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding the clinical development pathway of its innovative microneedle-based therapy, Skinject™ (D-MNA), for the treatment of basal cell carcinoma (BCC). The Type C meeting focused on reviewing key elements of the protocol, including study design, endpoints, and patient population definitions for upcoming clinical trials. According to Dr. Bokhari, the FDA provided clarity and alignment on several critical points. Specifically, the agency indicated that a relative bioavailability study with D-MNA, administered under certain conditions, could serve as a basis for establishing a regulatory bridge while addressing bioavailability requirements for the product. Importantly, the FDA offered constructive and supportive guidance on multiple aspects of the proposed development program, including the appropriate primary endpoint for the next clinical study. The company must define the patient population, such as tumor size limits, lesion location restrictions, and histological confirmation requirements and design a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to demonstrate efficacy in treating BCC. This regulatory clarity is expected to further strengthen Medicus Pharma's ongoing clinical program. The company is currently conducting its Phase 2 trial across nine clinical sites in the United States. Patient randomization began in August 2024. In March 2025, Medicus Pharma announced results from an interim analysis of the Phase 2 study, showing a positively trending clinical clearance rate exceeding 60%. The interim data, based on more than half of the targeted 60 patients randomized at the time, were highly encouraging, although final results may vary once the study is fully completed. #proactiveinvestors #nasdaq #mdcx #tsxv #mdcx #pharma #Biotech #CancerTreatment #ClinicalTrials #FDAApproval #SkinCancer #HealthcareInnovation #Investing #MedicalResearch #SkinCancer #BasalCellCarcinoma #BiotechNews #CancerResearch #UAEHealth #NonInvasiveTherapy #Doxorubicin #ClinicalTrials #HealthcareInnovation

Dr. Raza Bokhari, Executive Chairman and CEO of Medicus Pharma, has developed a novel, non-invasive treatment for basal cell carcinoma, the most common form of skin cancer. This cost-effective transdermal Skinject patch delivers a chemotherapeutic agent applied in a clinician's office over three sessions to remove the lesion, potentially avoiding the need for Mohs surgery, the current standard of care. Medicus is incorporating AI and advanced imaging techniques in its clinical trials to improve diagnosis and monitoring of the treatment's effectiveness. Raza explains, "The gold standard to treat basal cell carcinoma of the skin is surgical intervention, generally speaking, all solid tumors to eliminate cancer if it is caught in the early stage. The treatment regimen is that you surgically take the malignant cells out. The same is true for basal cell carcinoma of the skin. It is a slow-growing cancer. It appears on areas of the body that are exposed to ultraviolet radiation, which is being exposed primarily to the sun. When the lesion appears and is diagnosed, the treatment available is what is called Mohs surgical procedure, which is a micrographic go around the lesion of the cancer and just curate out the cancer cells in a surgical suite done by an experienced surgeon." "We are trying to disrupt by delivering a known chemotherapeutic agent through these uniquely designed, cellulose-based microneedle arrays, which can penetrate the dermis and deliver a chemotherapeutic agent at the site of the lesion and kill the cancer cells, thereby eliminating the need of surgical intervention." "It is currently in clinical trial, but post-approval, it is ready to commercialize. We hope that the dermatologists who are also trained to do Mohs surgery before scheduling the surgery, which usually takes about six to eight weeks to schedule, can also invite the patients to, in an office setting, take our patch and have it placed over the site of the lesion for 30 minutes over three settings. So if a cancer is diagnosed today, you schedule Mohs surgery, which is considered the gold standard six to eight weeks out because that is the wait time. The average wait time in the United States is about six to eight weeks. You could provide an option to have these three sittings one week apart of 30 minutes of our patch and come back for an examination on week four or five. If the lesion has been cured and the skin has become clear, then there is no need for surgical intervention. If, for some reason, our treatment fails, the patient can go on and get more surgery done and eventually become cancer-free." #MedicusPharma #PatchCure #BasalCellPatch #PatchTherapy #BCC #BasalCellCarcinoma #SkinCancer #Biotech #Dermatology #ClinicalTrials #Phase2Trial #SkinCancerTreatment medicuspharma.com Download the transcript here

In episode 140 of the Glow Journal podcast, host Gemma Dimond talks to the founder of Airyday, Frances van der Velden. I knew this was going to be a great storytelling episode, because I was already reasonably versed in the Airyday backstory, but what blew me away in this conversation was how much actual tangible business advice Frances so openly shared. Frances was diagnosed with a Basal Cell Carcinoma, which led to her trying more or less every sunscreen on the market to find a formula she loved and would be happy to wear every day. When she couldn't find one that ticked every box, she set to work on developing Airyday- an SPF wardrobe that launched in 2022 with four sunscreens. Beauty retail giant Sephora reached out to Frances a mere six weeks post-launch, and today, two years in, Airyday is stocked in Sephora stores nationally and through a whopping 600 clinic stockists. Frances explains that this was largely thanks to a high risk ad spend strategy that she explains far better than I can. In this conversation, Frances shares the realities of such major growth in such a short timeframe, how her marketing investment allowed Airyday to cut through the noise in a saturated market, and her advice on getting your brand seen by the decision makers at the country's biggest retailers.

The saying "saving your skin" takes on extra meaning when you are outdoors. Living a "sun and fun" lifestyle can come with a price -- the sun's damaging UV rays and the risk of skin cancer. Hopefully, you practice safety by using sunscreens, hats and clothing to mitigate those harmful rays. Some people forget that sun damage and skin cancer can be synonymous. As spring and summer approach, how do we avoid skin cancer? And if it leaves a concerning spot on the skin, what do we do next? Host: Jonathan Fialkow, M.D., Chief Medical Officer at Baptist Health who oversees Population Health, Primary Care, Cardiology, Endocrinology and other Medical Specialties Guest: Michael Raish, M.D., Mohs Micrographic Surgeon and Dermatologist, Baptist Health Miami Cancer Institute

In this episode, we embark on a comprehensive voyage through the world of Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC), the most common skin cancer. Guided by the case of Captain Jack Sparrow, we navigate the risk factors, subtypes, and treatment options for BCC. We delve into the genetic and environmental causes, the role of the Hedgehog signaling pathway, and the importance of differentiating between high-risk and low-risk cases. We also explore the surgical treatment of BCC, the use of topical therapies and radiotherapy, and the importance of patient follow-up. This episode is packed with practical, real-world applications, and we even have a mnemonic to help you remember the main histological subtypes of BCC. We wrap up with a quick quiz to test your knowledge and provide recommendations for further reading.

When was the last time you had a skin check-up at your doctor or dermatologist? Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world - two to three times the rates in Canada, the U.S. and the UK. Current data shows that two in three Australians will be diagnosed with skin cancer by the age of 70, and the majority of skin cancers are caused by exposure to the sun. So when you're exercising outdoors, it's so important to think about things like sunscreen, hats, and appropriate clothing. On this episode, Gab and Sarah look at the different types of skin cancers, who is most at risk, and some practical tips for how to give yourself the best possible sun protection.
