Season 4 of Glioblastoma aka GBM kicks off Brain Tumor Awareness Month with a closer look at CeGaT, a genetic diagnostics company based in Tübingen, Germany. Founded in 2009 by Dr. Saskia Biskup and Dirk Biskup, CeGaT focuses on identifying rare diseases and tumor-specific mutations through advanced sequencing technologies. In this episode, we speak with Dr. Biskup and Florian Battke, Head of Research & Development, about what genetic sequencing is, how it's used in the context of brain tumors, and what they see as the next frontier for diagnosing and treating diseases like glioblastoma. We discuss how long-read sequencing may offer greater accuracy in identifying genetic changes and what that could mean for patients navigating difficult diagnoses. This episode explores the broader role that genomics can play in brain cancer research and the questions still left to answer as science continues to evolve.

It's Brain Tumor Awareness Month! Have you ever felt perhaps "too aware" - letting your imagination run amok and ponder if its reaaally just a headache, or maybe something a bit more serious? Most folks can relate. Sometimes we jump to "worst case scenario" when appraising our symptoms, as a defense mechanism. We want to feel prepared, feel like we are one step ahead, that we can control the situation. We also love that sweet release when we realize that it WAS just a headache after all. It can be an exhausting cycle. How do you know if you're one of the "worried well" or if there's really something there, especially when it comes to brain tumors?? Cue today's unbelievable guest, Alyx Porter, MD, FAAN! Dr. Porter is the Director of the NeuroOncology Section at Mayo Clinic in Arizona and is an Associate Professor of Neurology. Having been with Mayo for over two decades, she has worked diligently to provide care for patients with tumors and cancers involving the nervous system in addition to patients who have neurologic complications resulting from their systemic cancers. Her research interests are aimed at ensuring that patients with brain cancers have the best quality of life as possible. She is also co-author of the book, Navigating Life with a Brain Tumor, a resource for patients and families. She and her husband, Dr. Gregory Umphrey founded a national non-profit in 2019, ElevateMeD. To date, ElevateMeD has awarded over $1,000,000 in scholarships and support to medical students from underrepresented backgrounds. ElevateMeD is committed to elevating the field of medicine by providing financial support, mentorship and leadership training to future physicians from racial and ethnic backgrounds underrepresented in medicine. Sometimes it's a tumor. Sometimes it's not. Either way, be informed, be prepared, keep asking questions and listen to Your Doctor Friends :) Thanks for tuning in, folks!

Well hello and thank you for listening today! It's been two years since my second craniotomy for a small recurrence of my brain tumor. I cannot believe that it's been two years already!  I just wanted to share how I felt back then and how I'm feeling today while still going through my own treatments. I have to apologize for not getting everything I wanted to get done for Brain Tumor Awareness Month. Like I mention in the episode, I just don't have enough hours in the day after work and getting everything cleaned up and planted outside. I also have to manage with the fatigue as well. 

Hello! This is just a short episode talking about Brain Tumor Awareness Month here in May 2023.  I just started talking and just went with what I was feeling. Not exactly a structured episode but sometimes I like to just talk. And thank you for letting me talk. This is a show for all of us and it really acts as a bit of therapy for myself as well. Some days ARE difficult. But I am so lucky that I've got an outlet like this.  I got some not-so-great news recently as we've lost another good soul far too soon. It's this awful situation where we meet under such unfortunate terms but I don't take any days or anything for granted. I know one day we will be able to beat this disease.  Thank you all so much. Please never hesitate to reach out to me if you need anything.  Chris

Lisa is joined by Philanthropist/Model/Sports Illustrated Finalist and surviror Victoria Vesce is telling everyone who will listen. Ms. Vesce has a long history of advocacy and philanthropy with various organizations, but her advocacy took on new meaning when she became a cancer survivor at age 24. Today, Victoria is an advocate for the National Brain Tumor Society, an organization that helped her during her radiation treatments at Duke Cancer Institute.In 2017, Victoria was diagnosed with multiple Paraganglioma, a brain-skull tumor and a carotid body tumor that required surgery and pin-point radiation treatment. During her time at Duke University Hospital, she voluntarily participated in a study to help more patients overcome rare tumors.DiagnosisIn 2016 and 2017 while dancing in the NBA for the Charlotte Hornets, and studying for the LSAT, Victoria started losing her hearing and experiencing extreme headaches. She began experiencing symptoms like fainting, unexplained adrenalin rushes and dizziness. After a CAT scan and repeated visits to the doctor and ENT, she was diagnosed with a tumor.TreatmentVictoria was referred to Duke University Hospital, where they discovered another tumor (carotid artery) during an MRI. Surgery occurred 6 weeks later, and following that, Victoria underwent 30 rounds of experimental radiation treatment.RecoveryToday, Victoria is fully deaf in her right ear. She also suffers from tinnitus. At the same time, she enjoys a new perspective on life and has gratitude for the organizations and people who have helped her along the way."My motto in life now is that life is short.

Primary brain tumors originate in the brain or tissues close to the brain, such as in brain-covering membranes, cranial nerves, or the pituitary or pineal glands. There are many types of primary brain tumors, and over 84,000 people will receive a primary brain tumor diagnosis in 2021, according to the National Brain Tumor Society. The median age for these diagnoses is 60. The most common cancerous, or malignant, brain tumor is the glioblastoma, a type of glioma that begins in the brain or spinal cord. The most common primary noncancerous, or benign, brain tumor is the meningioma, which arises from the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord. May is Brain Tumor Awareness Month. On the Mayo Clinic Q&A podcast, Dr. Alyx Porter, co-chair of the Central Nervous System Tumor Disease Group at Mayo Clinic Cancer Center, discusses the various types of brain tumors and how they are diagnosed and treated.

In this episode, I give a quick recap of how my last MRI went. Then we talk some statistics, charities and things you can do to help bring awareness to brain cancer! I sort of rushed this and I don't like how the audio turned out, but I wanted to get this one out for early May. I also messed up the volume settings on my original template so please let me know if it's too loud, or not loud enough. I mixed it to the usual level, but I have the files so I could adjust it quickly if needed. Feel free to give me your thoughts and what you want to hear about. I'm trying my best to cover what I can and would love to do more in-depth episodes.  Thanks again!   Chris   Links from the episode: https://braintumor.org/brain-tumor-information/brain-tumor-facts/ https://seer.cancer.gov/statfacts/html/brain.html https://www.abta.org/about-brain-tumors/brain-tumor-education/#statistics https://www.abta.org/ https://www.thebraintumourcharity.org/ https://www.curebraincancer.org.au/
