Send us Fan MailDogs can detect explosives, narcotics, missing persons, and even disease. But what if their greatest superpower isn't finding things - it's sensing molecular changes inside the human body long before symptoms appear? Today we're exploring whether the canine nose may hold the key to the next generation of cancer diagnostics.Itamar Bitan is the Co-Founder of Dognosis ( https://www.dognosis.tech/ ), a pioneering company working to unlock one of nature's most extraordinary sensing systems - the canine nose - and combine it with cutting-edge brain-computer interfaces and machine learning.Driven by a passion for both human health and working dogs, Itamar brings together an unusual blend of expertise spanning elite military operations, canine behavior, disease detection, and technology innovation. He spent nearly four years serving in Oketz, the Israeli Defense Forces' elite special operations K9 unit, where he worked as both a combat soldier and commander, developing deep expertise in canine training, scent detection, and high-pressure operational environments.Following his military service, Itamar became the first employee and Head of Operations at Dog-Prognose, a groundbreaking Israeli startup focused on disease-detection dogs, helping advance the use of canine scent detection for medical applications.Today, at Dognosis, Itamar and his team are pursuing an ambitious vision: digitizing canine scent perception itself. By combining the remarkable olfactory abilities of trained dogs with brain-computer interfaces, artificial intelligence, and machine learning, Dognosis aims to create a new generation of diagnostic tools capable of detecting diseases - including cancer - earlier, faster, and potentially more accurately than ever before.Itamar's work raises profound questions about the future of medicine, the untapped biological capabilities of animals, and how technology may help us translate nature's most sophisticated sensing systems into scalable healthcare solutions.#CancerDetection #ArtificialIntelligence #AI #BrainComputerInterface #BCI #CancerResearch #EarlyDetection #Dogs #MedicalInnovation #Biotechnology #FutureOfMedicine #HealthcareInnovation #MachineLearning #PrecisionMedicine #LiquidBiopsy #CanineDetection #CancerScreening #HealthTech #Diagnostics #SciencePodcast #STEM #Innovation #FutureTech #ProgressPotentialPossibilitiesSupport the show

Colon cancer is the third most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death, but the good news is that early detection can save lives. It often develops slowly over 10–15 years and may show few or no symptoms in the early stages. When detected early, the five-year survival rate is over 90%, and even if it begins to spread, early detection can still improve survival rates to around 70%. On today's show, I dive into how you can screen for colon cancer easily from home, the best tests to use, and why catching it early is so critical. I also cover prevention, monitoring, and the key risk factors to watch for. By combining healthy habits with regular at-home testing and periodic colonoscopies, you give yourself the best chance of detecting issues early and staying ahead of disease. So join me on Cabral Concept 3723 to learn more about early cancer detection tests you can do from home and lifestyle strategies that can help improve your odds of staying healthy.

Scientists at Oregon Health & Science University’s Knight Cancer Institute are pioneering a new way to study cancer that could lead to faster cancer detection and more targeted treatment. It involves 3D printing cancer cells from a patient and miniature versions of organs like bones and lungs. The healthy tissue and cancer cells are placed together inside a tiny device that’s roughly the size of a thumbdrive. Scientists can then observe in real time how they interact and discover ways to halt the cancer’s spread into the healthy tissue. Luiz Bertassoni is the director of the institute’s Precision Biofabrication Hub, which he helped launch in 2023, and a professor of oncology at OHSU. Since last year, he and his team have received more than $9 million in funding from the National Institutes of Health to advance the potential of these so-called organ-on-a-chip devices in the fight against cancer. The latest grants target an aggressive form of prostate cancer that spreads to bones and a cancer of the bone that spreads to lungs. Bertassoni joins us to talk about this new technology and the promise he thinks it holds for the roughly 40% of adults in the U.S. who will likely develop cancer at some point in their lives.

Dr. Jim Berenson, Founder of the Institute for Myeloma & Bone Cancer Research and the Berenson Cancer Center, describes the Institute's work, which includes maintaining a large biobank of patient samples that support both its own research and that being conducted by external groups. This biobank is being used to develop new blood markers for faster disease diagnosis, to assess treatment efficacy, and to support drug development for multiple myeloma and other cancers. Real-time monitoring of patient symptoms with a mobile app is capturing critical, often-missed patient data and providing evidence of clinical trial success. Jim explains, "Myeloma is a bone marrow-based cancer of a type of white cell called a plasma cell. These cells normally make a type of protein antibody that helps us fend off infections. And what happens in myeloma is that one of these types of cells goes rogue and takes over the bone marrow. As a result, these patients make lots and lots of only one type of antibody, and that protein becomes our tumor marker. They can get into trouble with their kidneys, their blood counts, their bones, and their immune system because they can become very compromised both by the disease and the treatment. Therefore, patients can develop frequent infections." "It's diagnosed mainly through blood work, bone marrow examination, and radiologic tests. The latter used to be X-rays, but today it is MRI, CT, or PET scans. The bone marrow test usually demonstrates too many plasma cells that are clonal, meaning they are all of one type. So, usually, the bone marrow plasma cells make up only one-half percent. Myeloma patients have no less than 10% and up to 99% plasma cells, and they are all of one type. They all make one antibody because normally one plasma cell makes one antibody, but this is a clone that's grown a lot in the bone marrow. So, because the bone marrow directly releases proteins into the blood, there's a lot of the myeloma cell-produced antibody in the blood and/or the urine of these patients." "We now have nearly 60,000 bone marrow and blood specimens collected over the last 25 years from our patients, and we collect them in a way that's very systematic. So we obtain blood weekly in the first month, and bone marrow when they undergo the procedure. And then after the first month, the blood is drawn and obtained for research and for the Biobank about every month. And this is a huge resource for not only our own research, which has uncovered two new blood biomarkers through the use of these samples. And we are also able to use the Biobank as a resource for other research groups and companies, whether biotech, pharma, or in vitro diagnostics, to see if they can find a new marker. So we send them a sample, and they can use it for their work." #IMBCR #MultipleMyeloma #HematologyOncology #PrecisionMedicine #PatientMonitoring #DigitalHealth #CancerResearch #Biomarkers #PersonalizedTreatment #QualityOfLife #MedicalInnovation IMBCR.org Listen to the podcast here

In this episode, Therese Markow and Dr. John Kisiel discuss early cancer detection using liquid biopsies. Dr. Kisiel explains that liquid biopsies detect cancer signals in blood and urine, including tumor cells, fragments, proteins, and DNA. He highlights the FDA's approval of a blood test for colon cancer and the development of multi-cancer early detection tests. Dr. Kisiel notes that false positive and false negative rates vary by test. He emphasizes the potential of liquid biopsies to complement, not replace, standard screening methods and the need for further validation and clinical trials. Key Takeaways: Liquid biopsies have been used in the oncology community to test if cancer is still present, may need additional or more aggressive treatment, or if the cancer has come back. Each test will have its own false positive and false negative rate, partially based on where manufacturers set the thresholds for that positive/negative result. Peripheral blood-based tests for colon cancer do not detect polyps, and it's the finding and removing of polyps that actually offers the greatest preventive benefit, so that somebody never gets cancer in the first place. "Another word of cautious optimism, I think that I, personally, and many other people active in the space really view these as an addition to standard of care cancer screening and not a replacement." — Dr. John Kisiel Connect with Dr. John Kisiel: Professional Bio: https://www.mayo.edu/research/faculty/kisiel-john-b-m-d/bio-00092659 Connect with Therese: Website: www.criticallyspeaking.net Bluesky: @CriticallySpeaking.bsky.social Instagram: @criticallyspeakingpodcast Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Better Edge : A Northwestern Medicine podcast for physicians
Prostate MRI is changing how clinicians decide when a biopsy is needed and how sampling is targeted to better detect clinically significant prostate cancer. In this episode of Better Edge, Hiten Patel, MD, discusses MRI‑informed risk stratification, including the use of an MRI‑based risk calculator, and how MRI‑targeted biopsy can reduce missed high‑grade disease. The episode also highlights how PSA density informs decision‑making after a negative MRI and how to manage discordant targeted and systematic biopsy results. Dr. Patel reviews lesion characteristics, like size and suspicion score, in the context of follow‑up and treatment intensity, along with emerging tools like PSMA PET and AI that may further refine detection and biopsy targeting.
How This Is Building Me, hosted by world-renowned oncologist D. Ross Camidge, MD, PhD, is a podcast focused on the highs and lows, ups and downs of all those involved with cancer, cancer medicine, and cancer science across the full spectrum of life's experiences. In this episode, Dr Camidge sat down with Keith Singer, the founder and executive director of Catch It In Time. Camidge and Singer discussed how Singer's background in broadcasting and cable television has led to a career in promoting cancer awareness. Although Singer initially wanted to be an astronaut, a decline in aerospace engineering jobs during the 1970s and a love for the technical side of high school theater led Singer toward television. He left college early and started his career in Cincinnati, first running a boom microphone and later directing newscasts. Singer explained the career hurdles he faced, noting that they led to opportunities for him to hone his skills and exercise creative freedom. In the mid-1980s, a project involving a new pacemaker sparked Singer's interest in using video for health care education. This fascination led him to co-create an innovative platform that broadcast medical programming for physician continuing medical education. Driven by seeing friends and family struggle with cancer, Singer founded the nonprofit Catch It In Time in 2011. His key communication strategy is that cancer should be the supporting actor, not the lead, allowing stories to appeal to targeted audiences based on their hobbies or professions, with cancer awareness as the secondary message. Catch It In Time is currently developing The User's Guide to Oncology, a software-based program that uses gaming technology to guide patients with lung cancer, providing essential information to help them have better conversations with their care teams. Singer stressed the importance of short video content for garnering views for this type of content. Notably, Catch It In Time recently produced a song titled "Breathe Again" by Lilliana De Los Reyes. "Breathe Again" can be found on all major streaming platforms, and all proceeds are dedicated to cancer awareness and research.

Biochemist Lingyin Li survived breast cancer at just 30 and now works to harness the human immune system to fight cancers that have long evaded treatment. T cells, she says, are powerful cancer killers, but they can be oblivious. She and her lab colleagues have discovered a masking enzyme that squelches the immune system's “danger signals” and are now developing drugs to block that enzyme. She likens her work to an arms race between cancer and immunotherapy. “The cancers are not getting smarter, but we are,” Li tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

A large observational study found small but potentially meaningful differences in cardiovascular safety among sulfonylureas compared to DPP-4 inhibitors in type 2 diabetes, with glipizide showing a statistically higher risk of MACE. A separate study revealed that over half of advanced-stage lung and colorectal cancer cases involved missed diagnostic opportunities, highlighting systemic delays in workups and follow-up. Finally, the EchoNext deep learning model accurately predicted structural heart disease from ECG data alone, outperforming cardiologists and showing potential for scalable, cost-effective screening. These findings underscore the importance of individualized treatment, earlier cancer detection, and AI-enabled cardiac diagnostics.

DermaSensor has developed the first FDA-cleared, AI-powered skin cancer detection device specifically designed for primary care physicians. After spending $27 million on R&D over eight years and conducting 15 clinical studies, the company received FDA clearance in January 2024. Using elastic scattering spectroscopy, the device analyzes cellular and subcellular structures in skin tissue—the same characteristics pathologists examine under microscopes—to provide objective skin cancer risk assessments in under 30 seconds. In this episode, CEO Cody Simmons shares the journey from Boston University research lab to commercial deployment across hundreds of medical practices. Topics Discussed: DermaSensor's eight-year development journey from 30-pound research devices to handheld commercial products The FDA clearance process requiring five pre-submission meetings and over 10,000 pages of documentation Strategic decision to target primary care physicians rather than dermatologists based on competitive intelligence Clinical validation showing device accuracy matches in-person dermatologist assessments Commercial launch strategy achieving coverage from major media outlets without a major PR firm Rapid adoption by hundreds of private practices within the first year post-clearance GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Learn from competitive failures before choosing your market: Cody observed companies spending "literally hundreds of millions of dollars" targeting dermatologists with similar devices, only to see them "commercially immediately fizzled out" within 2-4 years. Dermatologists, being experts, were confident in their existing processes and questioned why they needed additional tools. This competitive intelligence led DermaSensor to target primary care physicians who welcomed objective second opinions. B2B founders should study why similar solutions failed in adjacent markets and identify underserved segments where their value proposition resonates more strongly. Align your commercial strategy with regulatory requirements years in advance: Cody emphasized that you must "align your plan like your commercial plan with your study" and your FDA indication for use, determining "who's actually approved to use the device for what purpose." This planning must happen years before approval since clinical studies are designed around the intended commercial application. B2B founders in regulated industries should work backwards from their go-to-market strategy when designing regulatory pathways, ensuring clinical evidence supports their target market and use cases. FDA clearance itself can be your biggest PR moment: DermaSensor achieved coverage on ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, Forbes, Reuters, and Time Magazine's Best Inventions list primarily because "the FDA clearance itself was so big" for a first-in-class device addressing "the most common cancer." They worked with only an independent PR consultant, not a major firm. B2B founders should recognize that major regulatory milestones, especially for novel technologies, inherently generate media interest and plan their launch communications accordingly. Prioritize speed and simplicity when displacing manual processes: The device works in "less than 30 seconds" from pickup to result, addressing primary care physicians who previously had to rely on visual assessment with minimal dermatology training (only "two to four hours of training in medical school"). The combination of speed, objectivity, and ease of use made adoption attractive to non-specialists. B2B founders should design solutions that are dramatically faster and more accurate than existing manual processes, especially when targeting users who lack specialized expertise. Private practices adopt faster than health systems but both are essential: Cody noted that "private practices, because they make decisions so quickly" with "one or two doctors that run the practice" were able to rapidly adopt the technology. However, health systems provide validation and scale. The company focused on building "that whole ecosystem" where "health systems using a private practice, using it. Dermatologists are aware of it." B2B founders should sequence their go-to-market to capture quick wins from agile smaller customers while simultaneously pursuing enterprise accounts for long-term growth and market credibility. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.
