Podcasts about blood tests

Let’s talk about testosterone testing and other important blood tests you can track for your overall health, wellness, vitality, and longevity. I recorded this show on the occasion of my first visit to the blood lab after signing up for Vitals Vault’s premium program, and I talk about some of my favorite markers while pedaling home from the lab. I focus a lot on testosterone because I believe it’s a great proxy for overall wellness, vitality, recovery, and resilience to stress. I share my own numbers, which have ranged from 562 to 1,004, and explain why I’m so intent on keeping testosterone levels high as I age. I also get into the roughly 1% annual decline in average male testosterone levels since the 1980s, vitamin D and the widespread fear of the sun, why looking beyond LDL can give you a better picture of your lipid panel, and the lifestyle practices that can help optimize testosterone—from sleep and diet to avoiding chronic cardio, lifting heavy things, sprinting once in a while, and even maintaining a winning relationship. TIMESTAMPS: Testosterone testing is the best proxy for your overall state of wellness, vitality, and recovery or resilience to stress. [00:51] Brad checks his testosterone level frequently because it is his way of monitoring the stress impact from his training. [5:41] Triglycerides to HDL ratio is a premier indicator of your heart disease risk factor. It is much better than looking at total LDL cholesterol. [06:42] In 2017 they lowered the ideal level of testosterone due to the widespread decline of testosterone among males around the world. [09:02] If you are not optimizing your sleep, including down and rest time, you cannot reduce your stress. [12:13] Get the junk out of your diet. If you are in that chronic cardio pattern in your exercise, you may be tanking your testosterone. [12:37] If there is arguing and other dysfunctional patterns in your relationship, it will tank your testosterone as well as shorten your lifespan. [13:34] Vitamin D comes from sun exposure more than from your diet or pills. [14:30] LINKS: Brad Kearns.com BradNutrition.com B.rad Whey Protein Superfuel - The Best Protein on The Planet!

A defense psychiatrist laid out a timeline of missed opportunities today in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial. Dr. Donald Condie, a clinical and forensic psychiatrist focused on psychopharmacology, testified in the case against the Duxbury, Massachusetts woman accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She has pleaded not guilty and is mounting an insanity defense, with attorney Kevin Reddington arguing severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Condie testified that Clancy's records from Dr. Tufts were noticeably thin on detail. He explained that auditory hallucinations are common in psychosis, and that Clancy had reported hearing voices and experiencing intrusive thoughts — symptoms he said matched the full clinical picture of postpartum psychosis. He flagged one basic failure in her treatment: thyroid problems are known to contribute to postpartum complications, yet no one ever ordered the test to check. When Clancy called the Aspire hotline, she was reportedly told her care level couldn't be escalated without a stated suicide plan. Condie said that despite medication changes and her own efforts to get help, nothing improved.Prosecutors used cross-examination to challenge his qualifications, noting his CV doesn't list specific postpartum experience, and asked whether he'd reviewed the police reports in the case. They also established that Clancy never disclosed the voices to her own treating providers. On redirect, Condie offered an explanation: fear of losing her nursing license, or of losing her children, could have kept her silent. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Kevin Reddington spent hours cross-examining Dr. Jennifer Tufts on Day 10 of Lindsay Clancy's trial, and one line of questioning kept circling back to a test that was never run. Tony Brueski breaks down exactly what Tufts declined to order, and what she said when Reddington pushed on it. Tufts testified all fourteen of her appointments with Clancy happened over video, that she never spoke to Clancy's parents, and that she couldn't access records from a separate perinatal clinic Clancy was attending because she never asked Clancy to sign a release. Reddington also pressed her on a treatment she considered but couldn't prescribe outpatient, and on a 2021 study linking thyroid function to postpartum psychosis that she hadn't read. Midway through, he stopped and told her she was a doctor trying to do the right thing. The episode also covers testimony from Dr. Alia Goodheart, who treated Clancy at McLean Hospital and acknowledged she doesn't believe she's ever treated a patient with postpartum psychosis, and from Dr. Sejal Shah, a prosecution witness who agreed a person can communicate and make plans while in a state of psychosis. Both Tufts and Goodheart testified they never knew Clancy had called a crisis line twice, calls that appear in Clancy's own civil filings. The prosecution's cross drew out that Clancy booked her own appointments, drove herself to an emergency room, and never showed a sign of psychosis in front of Tufts. Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder.

Could a simple blood test help identify endometriosis before you spend years being told you have "unexplained infertility"? Endometriosis is one of the most underdiagnosed causes of fertility challenges, and many women spend a decade or more looking for answers with their doctors. Sadly, some patients are diagnosed with "unexplained infertility" when endometriosis may actually be part of the picture. This can lead to delays in treatment and pregnancy.   As you know, I always say "diagnosis before treatment." The frustrating thing is that doctors often have a blind spot around endometriosis because the traditional way to confirm it has been through laparoscopic surgery, which is an outpatient procedure. Plus, some doctors are dismissive of endo, and don't insist on patients getting tested. The good news is that fertility specialists now have another tool in the toolbox: a non-invasive blood test called HerResolve.  In this episode, I'm joined by reproductive endocrinologist Dr. Mary Peavey of Atlantic Fertility in Raleigh, North Carolina, to talk about how this new test works, who may benefit from it, and whether it could help patients get the right diagnosis, the right treatment, and potentially get to pregnancy faster. It's truly an exciting discussion and breakthrough, and I am delighted to share it with you. In this episode, we cover: - What endometriosis is and why it can be an important factor in infertility - How even mild or "silent" endometriosis can affect egg quality, embryo development, implantation, ovarian reserve, and inflammation - Why endometriosis is often underdiagnosed or mistaken for unexplained infertility, and why women can go years without answers - Why laparoscopic surgery has historically been central to endometriosis diagnosis and how that can contribute to diagnostic delays - How HerResolve works and how this non-invasive blood test may help clinicians identify patients who may have endometriosis - How identifying endometriosis may help guide fertility treatment decisions, including treatment after failed embryo transfers - When patients with unexplained infertility or suspected endometriosis may want to ask their fertility doctor about testing and evaluation Resources Read the show notes on Dr. Aimee's website Atlantic Fertility's website HerResolve endometriosis blood test by HerAnova The Egg Whisperer Show - Subscribe on YouTube The Egg Whisperer Show on Spotify Would you like to learn more about IVF?

Aug 10, 2026 – Can longevity really be measured and improved? In this eye-opening interview, Jim Puplava sits down with Dr. Brian Lenzkes to break down the results of his MVX Plus longevity blood test after completing an intensive biohacking regimen...

No blood tests. That's the detail that stuck out most from today's cross-examination of Dr. Jennifer Tufts, the psychiatrist who treated Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and her defense — led by attorney Kevin Reddington — argues she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Reddington walked Tufts through standard suicidal-ideation screening protocols, then noted no bloodwork was ever done to confirm her medications were actually functioning as intended. He also highlighted what he framed as insufficient responses to Clancy's own pleas for help. Tufts testified that she doesn't consider genetic testing particularly useful for guiding psychiatric medication choices, which set up an awkward moment when Reddington asked about a specific article linking postpartum depression to thyroid function — one Tufts admitted she'd never read. She also confirmed discussing a possible undiagnosed bipolar disorder with Clancy, tied to an extreme SSRI reaction, plus a partial hospitalization program that was discussed but never carried out. Even so, Tufts said she didn't believe involuntary hospitalization was the right call at the time.Prosecutors continue to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions regardless of her mental state. After the killings, she allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands that day and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Dr. Axelsson breaks down what standard diagnostic panels actually measure, why cellular oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction remain invisible to serum chemistry, and why a clean blood test is not the same as a healthy patient. He also outlines two distinct immune patterns he has identified in this patient population, explains why current criteria-based diagnosis is not sensitive enough to distinguish between them, and shares why he believes validated diagnostic tools and mechanism-based treatments are within reach within five years.

Brain aging does not start when memory loss shows up. It starts around age 25, decades before anyone notices anything is different. By the time a symptom appears, the window for the highest-leverage prevention has usually already closed.Today I'm talking with Dr. Christin Glorioso, an MD and PhD who has spent her career studying Alzheimer's, partly because of her own family history and partly because she carries the ApoE4 gene herself. She has since used her own brain scans, blood work, and lifestyle changes to lower her own brain age, and she's built a company around helping other people do the same.This conversation covers what actually causes Alzheimer's versus what we got wrong for decades, why the brain can grow back the same way muscle does, and why a ten minute daily habit has better evidence behind it than any drug currently on the market. We also get into hormone therapy, cholesterol, the ketogenic diet, and why women are so consistently underserved on all three.Join the most comprehensive *female-specific community for health and longevity optimization.* After over a decade dedicated to human performance and women's health, I created this space to share everything you need to know to optimize health and lifespan.

Early detection can make a significant difference when it comes to cancer.      While there is no single blood test that can detect every type of cancer, advances in biomarker testing are providing new tools that may help identify potential concerns earlier.     In today's episode, I break down the blood markers and biomarkers that may be used to assess cancer risk, identify potential warning signs, and monitor certain types of cancer.     We'll explore how these markers can detect signals from tumor cells, changes in surrounding tissues, or responses from the immune system. I'll also discuss how the effectiveness of these tests varies depending on the type of cancer and why combining appropriate blood work with imaging and other diagnostic tools may provide a more complete picture.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3828 to discover which blood tests may help detect cancer earlier and why early detection is such an important part of proactive health care.   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3828 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

After reviewing the bloodwork of over 852 clients in the last 12 months alone, three recommendations come up more consistently than anything else. In this video, Olly walks through exactly what those three are, with precise measurements and personalised guidance so you can apply them to yourself right away. If your body has stopped responding the way it used to, your energy is lower, digestion is off, or something just feels different since your 40s or 50s, there is a very good chance at least one of these is a contributing factor. This is what a decade of working with busy professionals through their bloodwork actually looks like in practice._______________________________________________________________________

There's a new Australia-first blood test that can detect Alzheimer's even earlier, with clinical trials being rolled out in Sydney. The test can deliver results in as little as 18 minutes and identify disease-related changes up to 20 years before symptoms appear. Australian correspondent Murray Olds says giving people this knowledge early could be a game-changer for their lives. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if you could test your cancer cells BEFORE choosing a treatment and actually watch which drugs kill them? That's not science fiction. That's what we did for Kamren — a 38-year-old man in my own family who was diagnosed with a rare, complex cancer that conventional medicine struggled to classify, let alone treat. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on three precision tests that most oncologists have never ordered and explaining exactly what they revealed, what they changed, and why they matter for every cancer patient, not just his. We're talking about:

A blood test may predict the start of Alzheimer's symptoms years in advance and doctors say it could become a game changer. The study shows a blood test can help identify healthy people at high risk for Alzheimer's disease and how far their disease has progressed.

New research suggests a future where primary care physicians could use a highly accurate blood test to help diagnose—or rule out—Alzheimer's in people experiencing memory and thinking problems. We spoke with Kristen Cusato of Alzheimer's Association (Northeast chapter.)For more information: https://www.alz.org/ct

Doctors say a new blood test could help predict the onset of Alzheimer's disease years before symptoms appear. The test measures a biomarker known as p-tau217, which researchers say can detect signs of the disease five to ten years before otherwise healthy people begin showing symptoms. Experts believe the breakthrough could transform how Alzheimer's is diagnosed and monitored.

AP correspondent Donna Warder reports on a new blood test that could determine whether someone will develop Alzheimer's disease.

Your patient brushes well, avoids sweets — and still keeps getting decay. What if the answer isn't in their mouth at all? What if two inexpensive finger-prick tests told you more about a patient's gum disease and implant prognosis than anything on the radiograph? And here's the uncomfortable one: if the science is this clear, is not checking starting to look like a medico-legal risk? Especially for imlpant surgery! This is a conversation with Dr Tif Qureshi — the dentist who changed how the profession thinks about the lifelong patient, the envelope of function, and Align, Bleach, Bond. He's gone down a new rabbit hole: metabolic health.

Your patient brushes well, avoids sweets — and still keeps getting decay. What if the answer isn't in their mouth at all?What if two inexpensive finger-prick tests told you more about a patient's gum disease and implant prognosis than anything on the radiograph?And here's the uncomfortable one: if the science is this clear, is not checking starting to look like a medico-legal risk? Especially for imlpant surgery!This is a conversation with Dr Tif Qureshi— the dentist who changed how the profession thinks about the lifelong patient, the envelope of function, and Align, Bleach, Bond. He's gone down a new rabbit hole: metabolic health.

The tumor microenvironment (TME), composed of immune cells, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells, has emerged as critical to pathogenesis, prognosis and treatment for cancer (schematic Figure below). There's no such thing as TMI (too much information) for TME! Yet there's still no way of assessing it in the clinic by a blood test, and even by invasive biopsy the sampling bias for TME without broader geographic context can lead to important mistakes. That isn't used for clinical decision making. The TME field is about to change.Recently, Professor Aaron Newman at Stanford and colleagues from many US leading centers published a landmark paper in Nature. It may ultimately be considered one of the most important leaps in cancer diagnostics in decades. Ground Truths is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.This was a massive undertaking involving 10 million single-cell RNAseq in 10 types of cancer to define 9 TME types by spatial omics which they called “spatial ecotypes”. It was AI-enabled by machine learning (Spatial Ecotyper from biopsy samples) and extrapolating that to knowledge to deep learning AI (Liquid Ecotyper from blood samples). The whole project took several years.Here's an infographic summary I made with the help of NotebookLM along with the Figures that follow.Some of the key points from our conversation:—TME is the soil in which the cancer cells live. It strongly influences whether the cancer cells will thrive or not, spread, respond to therapy, and determine the fate pf pre-cancerous lesion (as seen in recent important paper in pancreatic cancer evolution and colon cancer development).—Ecotypes, a term coined in 1922, to get at the local environment of tissue and cancer, was repurposed in this new project. Good metaphor: neighborhoods. And emphasis on location , location, location like real estate.—In the clinic today, the only window to TME is via a biopsy. But decisions for treatment are not based on TME, they are based on biomarkers like tumor mutation burden (TMB), PD-L1 levels , or volume of tumor DNA by liquid biopsy.—TME is dynamic and changes over time so a single snapshot won't cut it. —Spatial 3D maps of TME from 10 million cells, 10 cancer types led to 9 spatial ecotypes (with the Spatial Ecotyper machine learning). Validation across 3D grids (such as Visium) and multiple cohorts. The cell location base within TME is striking. —These 9 neighborhoods are conserved and very different. SE4-immune system is asleep, hypoxic; SE 7/8 are “war zones” rich with immune cells, hot tumor; SE 5 exhibits intense immunosuppression, hostile vs immune system, portends poor survival, SE9 deep in core, driving angiogenesis (new blood vessels)—Now rich information from these 9 SEs needs to be extrapolated to a holistic blood test of TME. It turns out an extension of tapping into methylation as used by some liquid biopsy cell-free DNA tests works very well, providing cell identity from the DNA fragments leaked into the blood. To get to TME spatial biology in a tube of blood. Akin to wastewater surveillance form municipals for detection of infectious disease pathogen sequence variants and circulating levels. A triumph of AI analytics made this possible!—The Liquid Ecotyper was validated in 78 patients with malignant melanoma pre-treatment from Yale University. SE 7/8 benefited from immune checkpoint therapy; SE4 resisted treatment, shorter survival. Matched with tissue biopsy work. —Work beyond publication ongoing in many types of lung cancer, bladder cancer, mesothelioma, and response to other therapies like CAR T and bispecific antibodies. This is critical since we have slew of different cancer immunotherapies (see my pyramid Ground Truths review) and we're not sure who, when, how to use them to drive optimal cancer outcomes in patients. May also help predict other types of therapy (not just immunotherapy) for cancer.—The blood test can performed serially which is a major advance compared with how we are currently “flying blind” and misled by imaging. —Started a company Liquid Cell Dx to make the TME blood test commercially available. May be available sooner in the academic centers in the current study.—The use of SEs may extend beyond cancer!A big thanks to Ground Truths subscribers from every US state and 212 countries.

Send us Fan MailA treasure map? On Dynasty? We had to pause, rewind, and make sure we heard that right. We're recapping Dynasty Season 5 Episode 11 “Swept Away” on Soap Lore, and the show swings from hotel-room secrets to jungle-mystery logic in record time. Jeff Colby realizes his latest fling is Nikki Defilibuster, widow of Peter Defilibuster, and what starts as a scandal quickly turns into a full-on treasure hunt setup with a “solid gold Dinka entity” and two halves of a map. The twist that really matters: Fallon Carrington might not have been on that plane at all. So where is she, and who's holding the missing piece?  We also dig into the quieter tension that's been building for a while. Steven and Claudia feel like they're being nudged apart, and Luke's Santa Barbara “work trip” details raise eyebrows even when the chemistry is still finding its footing. On the Carrington power front, Blake and Crystal are still reeling after baby Christina's health scare, and Crystal's gut tells her the official story around Ahmed's death does not add up, especially once Dominique and Adam help Blake spin a press conference that one skeptical reporter refuses to swallow.  Then Alexis does what Alexis does best: control the board. A threatened paternity blood test pushes her into escape mode, a blizzard strands Dex and Amanda in a luxury cabin, and the morning after is pure awkward fallout. Just when it can't get messier, Alexis shows up with champagne and a London plan that rewrites everyone's next move. Listen now, then subscribe, share the episode with a fellow soap fan, and leave us a review. What's your theory on Fallon and the treasure map?

Blood tests and other biomarkers are bringing researchers closer to detecting Alzheimer's disease before memory loss begins — a shift that could reshape prevention, treatment, and the way families think about risk.Dr. Joshua Grill, director of the UC Irvine Institute for Memory Impairments and Neurological Disorders (UCI MIND) and UCI's NIA-funded Alzheimer's Disease Research Center, explains how advances in amyloid PET scans, spinal fluid testing, and blood-based biomarkers are changing Alzheimer's research and care. Grill has published more than 150 articles and is nationally recognized for his work on clinical trials, recruitment and retention, and biomarker disclosure.In this conversation with Being Patient's Mark Niu, Grill discussed why these tests are useful today for people already experiencing cognitive symptoms, why they are not yet recommended as a routine risk test for people without memory problems, and how biomarkers are helping researchers design prevention trials for people at higher biological risk. He also explained the emotional, ethical, and legal questions that come with assessing Alzheimer's risk and what still needs to happen before early testing and treatment become part of routine care.---If you loved listening to this interview, visit our website to find more of our Alzheimer's coverage and subscribe to our newsletter: https://www.beingpatient.com/Follow Being Patient: Twitter: https://twitter.com/Being_Patient_Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beingpatientvoices/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/beingpatientalzheimersLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/being-patientBeing Patient is an editorially independent journalism outlet for news and reporting about brain health, cognitive science, and neurodegenerative diseases.

Discover how advanced blood-based assays and multi-modality screening can identify silent cellular changes before they impact your longevity protocol.Traditional cancer screenings are constrained by structural limitations, capturing less than twenty percent of eventual diagnoses due to strict age thresholds, invasive procedures, and systemic healthcare delays. Dr. Tarek Mouhieddine from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute introduces a comprehensive strategy for multi-cancer early detection that combines circulating tumor biomarkers, DNA methylation profiling, and whole-body MRIs. This multi-layered screening architecture seeks to identify up to fifty cancer subtypes at stage one, where therapeutic interventions achieve the highest cure rates. The discussion details how tracking biomolecular trends through annual blood draws allows for early intervention without the radiation risk of repetitive CT scans or the complications of premature tissue biopsies. Dr. Mouhieddine also emphasizes that maintaining baseline cellular health preserves physiological resilience, directly dictating how well an individual tolerates therapeutic interventions. This framework offers actionable insights for individuals over 50 looking to optimize their preventative diagnostic protocols.

If you are thinking about having a baby in the next year or two, or you have been trying for a while and wondering if your nutrition could be doing more, this episode is a genuinely useful place to start. And if you are in your 20s or 30s and have not had a blood test recently because you feel fine and assume everything is probably okay, Leanne and Susie have something to say about that too. This week on The Nutrition Couch, they dig into the nutrition and lifestyle strategies that actually move the needle on fertility outcomes, what the research says about diet patterns, key nutrients, and male fertility, and the common mistakes that quietly work against conception that most women have never been told about. In this episode: The Australian longitudinal study of over 5,000 women linking anti-inflammatory dietary patterns to better fertility outcomes, and what that actually looks like on a plate day to day The key nutrients that appear time and time again in fertility research: omega-3s, vitamin D, vitamin E, and natural folate, why food sources beat supplements in almost every case, and the one supplement Susie did take during pregnancy The MTHFR gene mutation: what it is, how common it is, why women with this mutation should not be taking synthetic folate in standard prenatal supplements, and how to find out if you have it Why male fertility contributes to 40 to 50% of fertility challenges and is chronically overlooked, and what partners should actually be doing differently The under-eating and overtraining pattern that silently disrupts ovulation and hormonal health even in women who appear to be doing everything right The truth about caffeine and fertility: the research does not say what most people assume, and Susie explains exactly how much is genuinely safe if you are trying to conceive The blood tests Leanne recommends for every woman in her 20s and 30s, including the ones most GPs do not automatically order, and the vague symptoms that are easy to dismiss but might actually signal something easily fixed Why low ferritin is one of the most underdiagnosed and undertreated issues in young Australian women, and Susie's case study of a client whose iron had been dangerously low for two decades without anyone properly addressing it The Harvest Pantry Protein Smoothie reviewed: clean ingredients, impressive packaging, and a protein claim on the front of the pack that requires an asterisk the size of a footnote to actually be true The nine-month-old baby and solids question: how much milk is too much, why iron should be the focus of every meal at this age, and the feeding order that makes a bigger difference than most parents realise Shop Designed by Dietitians: Looking to support your protein, creatine, magnesium, or collagen intake with evidence-based supplements made in Australia?

In this episode of It Takes Balls, testicular cancer survivor Tony Salas shares how his cancer journey led him into one of the newest and most rapidly evolving areas of cancer surveillance: MicroRNA-371 testing and Signatera ctDNA monitoring.Tony opens up about the symptoms and diagnosis that changed his life, including the whirlwind of appointments, surgery, and learning how quickly testicular cancer treatment decisions have to be made. But what makes his story especially unique is what came after treatment—navigating surveillance while trying to avoid chemotherapy and gain greater confidence in whether his cancer was truly gone.Throughout the episode, Tony discusses using MicroRNA 371, an emerging blood test showing major promise in detecting active germ cell tumors, along with Signatera, a personalized circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) test designed to monitor for residual disease and recurrence. He shares what it was like balancing traditional surveillance methods like CT scans and tumor markers with these newer technologies, and how the uncertainty of recurrence can weigh heavily on survivors mentally and emotionally.The conversation also explores the emotional side of survivorship, including scannxiety, the fear of recurrence, and the challenge of moving forward after treatment while still feeling tied to constant monitoring. Tony speaks candidly about the importance of self-advocacy, staying informed about evolving cancer research, and finding ways to regain a sense of control during survivorship.This episode is not only a powerful survivor story, but also an insightful look at the future of testicular cancer surveillance and personalized cancer monitoring. Whether you're navigating a diagnosis, currently in surveillance, or interested in the latest advances in testicular cancer treatment and recurrence detection, Tony's experience offers both hope and perspective.Provide your feedback on the podcast:https://www.testicularcancerawarenessfoundation.org/itbsurveyJoin The Ball Room:https://www.testicularcancerawarenessfoundation.org/theballroomWant to be a guest?
