Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guest: Daniel M. Frendl, M.D., Ph.D. If your practice includes middle age and older men, you've very likely diagnosed prostate cancer. It's the most diagnosed non-skin cancer in men in the U.S. Its incidence rises with age, with a median age of around 66 years. When found early, prostate cancer is very treatable, and in most cases, curable. Prostate specific antigen, or PSA is very effective in detecting early prostate cancer, but its use has been controversial due to the risk of overdiagnosis and overtreatment. What are the current recommendations for prostate cancer screening with PSA? What's the role of the digital rectal exam? How should we be using the PSA and what other tests are available for prostate cancer screening? The topic for this podcast is “Prostate Cancer Screening” and I'll be asking these questions to my guest, Daniel M. Frendl, M.D., Ph.D., a urologist at the Arizona campus of the Mayo Clinic. Tune in this Thursday for our next episode on "Prostate Cancer" releasing October 30, 2025. Connect with us and learn more here: https://ce.mayo.edu/online-education/content/mayo-clinic-podcasts

12:30pm - Brian Duff and Marty Biron talk to Dr. Mary Reed to talk about the importance of cancer screening

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States for both men and women. Each year, more people die of lung cancer than of colon, breast, and prostate cancers combined. This is because the disease shows no symptoms until it has progressed to advanced stages when it is very difficult to treat. The good news is that advances in imaging have made it possible to detect lung cancer early on, when treatment can be highly successful.The Eisenhower Lung Cancer Screening Program evaluates current and former smokers to determine their risk for lung cancer and provides assessment and evaluation for persons at risk for lung cancer.

Nurse practitioner Elisabeth Evans discusses her article "The critical role of nurse practitioners in colorectal cancer screening." Elisabeth shares why colorectal cancer is the second-deadliest cancer in the U.S. yet remains under-screened, and why early detection can mean the difference between a 14 percent survival rate and over 90 percent. She highlights the lowered screening age, the role of public figures in raising awareness, and how nurse practitioners and physician associates can normalize conversations, provide multiple screening options, and ease patient fears. Elisabeth also discusses environmental risk factors, the importance of family history, and the potential of emerging technologies like blood-based screening.

Experts say better staffing numbers will be key to improving bowel-cancer screening. The screening age is set to lower to 58 for Northland, Auckland and the South Island today, with the rest of the North Island to follow in March. More than 120,000 people will qualify for screening in the first year of this change, and the Government aims to boost colonoscopy capacity to lower the age screening age further. But colorectal surgeon Frank Frizelle says there's plenty of capacity to expand it, but more resources are needed. "The Government is walking very cautiously in this line, because it's worried that its resources won't be able to deliver. To me, it doesn't seem to match up."

Half of Americans skipped important cancer screenings in the past year. How does fear play a major factor? Or the amount of time we have? We spoke with Christopher Scuderi, DO, a primary-care physician and cancer survivor, about which screenings are most often missed, the risks of delaying them, screening guidelines to be aware of, and how to prioritize our health despite fear of knowing or busy schedules. He also highlights how talking with your doctor can help identify personal risk factors and the role healthy habits – like diet, exercise, sleep, and stress management – play in lowering cancer risk and supporting overall well-being.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

340B savings do not just enable hospitals to provide more care, they also help hospitals pioneer innovative approaches to bringing care directly to patients. For West Virginia University Medicine, which serves a high population of Medicare and Medicaid patients, one of these 340B-funded innovations came from recognizing a need to increase cancer screening rates. WVU Medicine 340B Enterprise Director Karen Famoso tells us how the system's mobile cancer screening initiative came about.The Barriers to Cancer ScreeningWVU Medicine identified that some of the biggest social determinants of health for its West Virginia patients were relatively unique to the areas it serves. The rural state has significant travel barriers, small population areas, and high poverty rates, a combination that leaves thousands of patients without easy access to a source of primary care.Mobile Screenings Look for Breast, Lung CancersToday, WVU Medicine operates two types of mobile cancer projects: Bonnie's Bus and LUCAS. The former launched in 2009 and is a mobile mammography unit named after a patient who died because she had limited access to breast cancer screenings. Her family donated funding to the hospital to support this effort. More than a decade later, WVU Medicine introduced the mobile lung screening program LUCAS. That initiative provides low-dose CT scans to patients meeting the screening guideline using a nearly 70,000-pound tractor trailer.340B Is Key To Sustaining Mobile Screening EffortsFamoso says WVU Medicine funds its mobile cancer screening programs through grants and donations, but that is not enough to cover the full cost. That is where 340B savings can help cover the operating loss, which was almost $400,000 last year. Without those 340B savings, the health system's financial situation would not allow investments in mission-focused programs such as Bonnie's Bus and LUCAS.ResourcesLung Cancer Screening on WheelsHRSA Reviewing Rebate Pilot Proposals and CommentsSecond Federal Appeals Court Upholds State Contract Pharmacy Law
