ChristianaCare researchers identified a developmental genetic pattern that showed how colorectal cancer develops. The findings revealed that certain types of genes drive cancer growth and resistance, and how the precise timing of how they develop is linked to colon cancer formation.The research team's work also showed the genes can predict survival in colorectal cancer patients, indicating it can be a marker of disease behavior and a target for future therapies.This week, Delaware Public Media's Joe Irizarry sat down with Bruce Boman, M.D., senior author of the study and senior researcher at ChristianaCare's Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & Research Institute to discuss this colorectal cancer research.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT): Beyond the Bends—Wounds, Stroke Recovery, Radiation Injury, and Performance. Nicole Garrett, founder and COO of Under Pressure Hyperbarics, details hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). She explains how HBOT treats divers' decompression sickness by recompressing nitrogen bubbles and reducing inflammation, and how therapeutic benefits depend on reaching adequate pressure (commonly around 2.0 atmospheres or more; diver treatment may begin at 2.8). Garrett describes HBOT's history, FDA-approved uses such as diabetic wound healing, radiation injury, and sudden sensorineural hearing loss (often combined with steroids), and off-label use for stroke/TBI recovery, cognitive issues, autoimmune flares, Crohn's disease, athletic recovery, anti-aging research (including telomere findings), and adjunctive cancer care. She contrasts “soft” chambers with higher-pressure medical chambers, discusses treatment courses (often 10–60 sessions), safety and contraindications (ears, pneumothorax, retinal bubble procedures), and practical barriers like cost, insurance coverage, and facility/oxygen regulations.

The Person Before Treatment Geoffrey's life before diagnosis: 30 years old, living in New York and Sydney, feeling infallible, driven by professional ambition. And Adam's contrast — a father of two at 45, diagnosed only because he went to a cardiologist after his brother-in-law died. 07:00 – The Diagnosis: Two Very Different Moments Geoffrey's blood clot in the night that saved his life. Adam's cardiologist scan that caught a mass nobody expected. The two very different ways a diagnosis lands — one like a movie, one like a text message. 13:00 – Four Days vs. Six Weeks: The Window Before Treatment Geoffrey had four days between diagnosis and chemotherapy. Adam had six weeks. What that difference does to your mind, your fear, your processing — and why no two cancer stories are the same. 17:00 – The Thing Nobody Tells Young Adults: Fertility The Vanderbilt study that found 50% of young adults diagnosed with cancer are never told about their fertility options before treatment. Geoffrey's sperm banking story. Adam's moment of levity. The organizations that exist to help — and why you should use them. 23:00 – Chemotherapy: The Reality Nobody Films Steroids that make you feel like Batman. Fatigue that puts you to bed at 1 PM. The taste of treatment — Geoffrey's: a burning Nike Air Max. Adam's: Sour Patch Kids and Shrek's condom. The rhythm of treatment cycles and the crash that follows. 30:00 – Hair Loss: The Moment It Hits You Not just the hair on your head — all of it. Geoffrey's Jewish mohawk and the cat photos. Adam's man bun, the shower, the wall of clumps, the hairdresser call. Why the eyebrows and eyelashes are the part nobody prepares you for. 37:00 – Going Out in Public Without Eyebrows Geoffrey at his best friend's wedding, feeling like a freak. Adam at a bar mitzvah two weeks post-treatment, cancer beanie and all. Why "you look great" hits differently when you don't recognize yourself in the photos. 42:00 – Tribes, Villages & Crisis Language Geoffrey's lesson: his tribe was too small — just his wife and the cat. The mistake he'd change. Adam's: an oversharer married to a shield, learning to lean on his guy friends so his wife didn't have to carry everything. What "crisis language as a couple" actually means. 49:00 – Tolerance for Bullshit: The Larry David Effect What cancer does to your patience for other people's bravado. Geoffrey's bar story, running out into Times Square and crashing full speed into Elmo. The anger that's real, and the work it takes not to carry it forever. 55:00 – The Biannual Check-In: A Framework for Purposeful Change A scheduled, structured personal evaluation every six months — professional path, relationships, health, direction. The check-in that led Geoffrey to leave the Wall Street Journal after 21 years. Why you can't make the changes when the warning lights are flashing; you have to make them later, in clarity. 61:00 – Scanxiety: The Incurable Side Effect of Survivorship Geoffrey's scan is next Wednesday. He started thinking about it two weeks ago. The reality that scanxiety doesn't diminish with time — it sometimes gets worse. What helps, what stops helping, and why there's no permanent answer. 66:00 – After Treatment: The Part Nobody Celebrates The financial reality: bill negotiations, illegal anesthesiologist charges, state-specific protections, hospital programs for lower-income patients. Life insurance rejection at 35. Career decisions constrained by healthcare costs. The bills that arrive 18 months later asking "didn't I already pay this?" 73:00 – Ambition After Cancer: Don't Change the Level, Change the Lane The advice from career coach Michelle Woodward: keep the same level of ambition even if you have to find a different lane. Geoffrey's Hong Kong trip — the first time after treatment he felt like himself professionally again. Adam's silver lining of leaning into tech during treatment. 79:00 – Writing It Down: The Value of Documentation Adam's Super Whisper app diary — before and after every treatment session. Geoffrey's 14 years of running away from his cancer story, and what writing the book finally unlocked. Why every survivor should find their version of processing. 85:00 – I'm Alive: Now What? — The Book Geoffrey's nine-chapter guide for survivors — money, career, physical health, mental health, family planning, caregiving, purpose, the business of advice — built around real people's stories paired with expert guidance. Pre-order at after-treatment.com/the-book. 91:00 – Are You Getting the Support You Need? Geoffrey's question for Adam — and for every survivor. The cancer imposter syndrome that comes with a high-survival-rate diagnosis. Why you can't let anyone take away what you went through, and why the work doesn't end at remission. 97:00 – North Stars: What Keeps You Focused Geoffrey's: a willingness to change his North Star — short-term, practical, written down, evaluated regularly. Adam's: being the best example for his kids and leaving the world better than he found it. How cancer changes your definition of success. 104:00 – 500 Episodes: Thank You Adam closes the milestone episode with gratitude — for the guests, the listeners, seven years of consistency, and what comes next. TAKEAWAYS: 1. The Diagnosis Is Never Like the Movies — Except When It Is Geoffrey's came in an ER at 30. Adam's in a text from his cardiologist. No two stories are the same — but both changed everything. 2. 50% of Young Adult Cancer Patients Are Never Told About Fertility Options A Vanderbilt study found half of young adults aren't counseled on fertility preservation before treatment starts. The window is measured in days. Make sure this conversation happens first. 3. The Biannual Check-In Is the Most Powerful Tool for Purposeful Change Twice a year, scheduled, with a workbook: evaluate your path, relationships, and direction — in calm, not crisis. The check-in that led Geoffrey to leave 21 years at the Wall Street Journal. 4. Don't Change the Level of Your Ambition — Change the Lane If cancer takes away what you were world-class at, find another lane at the same level. Don't shrink. Redirect. That's not a lesser life — it's a different one. 5. Your Relationship With Time and Bullshit Changes — But Differently for Everyone Every survivor agrees on two things: time feels different, and their tolerance for bullshit has shifted. Geoffrey went full Larry David. Adam found unexpected clarity. The work is figuring out which version of you emerged. 6. Cancer Exposes Your Crisis Language as a Couple The couples who survive this well learn how to communicate what they need, what not to say, and what to let breathe. It's practiced, not instinctive. 7. Scanxiety Is Real, Incurable, and Changes Over Time What helped before may stop helping. Survivors need to plan for this, not be surprised by it. 8. The Financial Reckoning Comes Long After Treatment Ends Medical bills stay higher forever. Many are negotiable. Some are illegal. Own the advocacy, ask the questions, build the spreadsheet. 9. Write It Down — In Whatever Form Works for You Adam used Super Whisper before and after every treatment. Geoffrey wrote a book 14 years later. The form doesn't matter. Externalizing the experience gives you a time capsule you can go back to. 10. Are You Getting the Support You Need? Just the honest, periodic question. What you went through is not nothing — and the work doesn't end at remission. 11. You Are Different Now — Not Better or Worse. Different. Not better, not worse. Fundamentally changed in ways that can't be fully accounted for. That difference isn't a loss. The work is learning to live in the new timeline.

In this episode, we talk about how physical activity can help during and after treatment, how to get started safely, and why it's important to work with your care team.Featuring Dr. Jennifer Baima, a physiatrist at The Orthopedic Center at Easton, part of University of Maryland Shore Regional Health.
A major new all-island study is set to change how prostate cancer is treated, with a focus not just on survival, but on quality of life. The INSPIRE trial aims to reduce the side-effects of radiotherapy while maintaining strong cancer control, using more precise, shorter treatment methods. To discuss this, Alan Morrissey spoke with Angela Clayton-Lea, CEO of Cancer Trials Ireland and Martin Sweeney a man who was diagnosed with prostate cancer and who was involved in the design of the trial on Thursday's edition of Morning Focus.

Dr. Pierre Kory joins The Jeff Dornik Show for a wide-ranging conversation that starts with the medical establishment's war on low-cost therapeutics and ends with a deeper look at creation, minerals, and why Scripture keeps holding up a little better than the experts would prefer. We discuss chlorine dioxide, ivermectin, medical censorship, Big Pharma, cancer treatment, ketogenic and metabolic therapies, repurposed drugs, and the system's allergy to anything that is safe, affordable, and inconvenient to the people monetizing sickness. Then the conversation shifts into Kory's research on minerals, water, the origin of life, Genesis, the fountains of the great deep, and whether changes in the earth after Noah's Flood may help explain the dramatic decline in human lifespans. In other words, this episode manages to challenge both the pharmaceutical machine and the secular priesthood in one sitting, which is usually a decent sign that the conversation was worth having.SPONSORIf you are going to shop anyway, use Rakuten and get real cash back so you can steward your resources wisely in a world that keeps trying to take more from you.

What started as one man trying to make sense of prostate cancer became poetry, advocacy, and a way of helping other men feel less alone. In this episode of The Penis Project, Melissa is joined again by Steve Jones, known to many listeners as the poet who didn't know it. Steve is now five years on from prostate cancer treatment and he reflects on PSA anxiety, recovery, poetry, weight loss, peer support, and finding purpose in the aftermath of a life-changing diagnosis. This is an honest, moving, and hopeful conversation for men, partners, and anyone navigating life after treatment. Steve shares his experience of being diagnosed during COVID, having a radical robotic prostatectomy, and then feeling like he was left to work out the rest on his own. He speaks honestly about PSA anxiety, the emotional toll of survivorship, and the reality that even years later, follow-up testing can still stir up fear. But this episode is not just about cancer. It is also about what can grow in the aftermath of a hard diagnosis. Steve talks about how prostate cancer unexpectedly opened the door to poetry, advocacy, deeper connection, better health, and a renewed sense of purpose. He also shares his work with A Touchy Subject, where he helps facilitate peer support chats for men navigating prostate cancer, sexual recovery, penile implants, incontinence surgery, and the many challenges no one talks about enough. Melissa and Steve also discuss the importance of early testing, why men need better access to holistic care after treatment, and how simple lifestyle changes like weight loss, movement, and resistance training can make a real difference to health, confidence, and recovery. This is a moving, funny, wise conversation about fear, resilience, and making something meaningful out of a difficult experience. About Steve Steve Jones is a prostate cancer survivor, writer, poet, advocate, and peer support facilitator. Since his diagnosis and treatment, he has become a strong voice for men navigating prostate cancer recovery, sharing his experience through poetry, media interviews, support groups, and community advocacy.

Dr. Babak Saboury, Chief Scientific and Innovation Officer and Physician Founder of United Theranostics, discusses the emergence of nuclear oncology as the fourth pillar of cancer care. United Theranostics is combining advanced molecular imaging and radiopharmaceutical therapies to identify a cancer cell's unique fingerprint and then delivering targeted radiation, reducing side effects by sparing healthy cells. Molecular imaging can serve as a unifying map for guiding a collaborative, multimodal approach to treating a range of cancers. Babak explains, "I can just very quickly tell you that there are four pillars of treating cancer. Traditionally, when we approached cancer, we wanted to cut it out. That was surgical oncology. Whatever could not be cut out was treated by giving a medication. That was medical oncology. After a while, there was just a modality to the things that were difficult to cut out, but that was a localized hit from outside. That was the radiation oncology. And right now, we are at the beginning of a new horizon. You treat patients systemically, which means all the lesions everywhere. However, you are really there, a magical radiopharmaceutical that goes to find the cell and kills it by radiation. That's a nuclear oncology. So nuclear oncology is the fourth pillar of cancer care." "So you can imagine that in the past we tried to attack cancer cells. We didn't know what shape they had, which proteins were expressed, or what their characteristics were. So we kind of went blindly and tried to attack them. Imagine that we have a way to find a fingerprint of those cells and go there first to find that fingerprint. And if the fingerprint exists, then go after those cells as a targeted attack. That is where molecular imaging and radiopharmaceutical therapy come into play. So molecular imaging profiles the cancer cells to see what their fingerprint is and whether a certain fingerprint exists. Radiopharmaceutical therapy uses this information to target just those cells and not other cells. And that is the principle of Theranostics, which is a combination of diagnostics and therapeutics, finding and then destroying in a very precise manner." #UnitedTheranostics #NuclearOncology #PrecisionMedicine #Radiopharmaceuticals #CancerCare #MolecularImaging #Theranostics #OncologyInnovation #PatientCare #HealthcareInnovation #CancerTreatment Unitedtheranostics.com Download the transcript here

Behind every kidney cancer diagnosis is a person navigating difficult decisions about treatment and care. Today, we're diving into how to navigate the side effects of kidney cancer treatments and how to tell the difference between side effects and warning signs. This episode is supported by Exelixis. In this episode we heard from: Andrew Allers was diagnosed incidentally with clear-cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) in 2015 after a soccer injury. After a radical nephrectomy and four years of monitoring, Andrew's stage IV diagnosis was made in 2019 with metastases in his rib, hip, lungs and lymph nodes. The bone tumors were radiated, and after two rounds of an immunotherapy combination, a serious auto-immune reaction necessitated a pause in treatment while Andrew's care team figured out a solution. With regular IVIG infusions to manage the adverse reactions, a single-agent immunotherapy was restarted in early 2020 and within a few months a set of scans showed remarkable improvement -- tumors still visible, but "clinically unmeasurable" in the words of his oncologist. Just over a month later, a vision issue took Andrew to the local ER where he was diagnosed with two brain metastases, one of which was in the occipital lobe. The following day an emergency craniotomy was performed, followed by a round of brain radiation. Over the next 18 months, a series of 4 more brain tumors were discovered, radiated and added to the monitoring schedule. Since beginning a TKI in 2022 Andrew has been free of new brain metastases, and the immunotherapy continues to keep the lung and lymph node tumors at bay. After retiring in 2023, Andrew has become active in the Kidney Cancer community, participating in the research grant review process in the CDMRP & KCRP and as a Legislative Advocate for KidneyCAN, an advocacy group that campaigns for federally funded research into Kidney Cancer treatments. Julia Stevens, PharmD, BCOP is a Clinical Pharmacy Specialist in Ambulatory Oncology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, MA. She collaborates with medical oncologists to care for patients with kidney cancer. Her primary clinical responsibilities include educating patients and caregivers, monitoring and supporting those on oral therapies, minimizing the financial toxicity of treatment, and providing drug information and treatment recommendations to her team. Dr. Stevens is also a member of the Kidney Cancer Association Clinical Advisory Board. Rimda Wanchoo, MD is a Professor of Medicine at the Zucker School of Medicine and full time nephrologist at Northwell Health in NY. She graduated from medical school in India followed by residency at St. Barnabas in New Jersey and fellowship at NY Presbyterian at Weill Cornell. Her interests are taking care of patients with cancer and kidney diseases, glomerular disease and end stage kidney disease. She has been at Northwell for the last 14 years . She also serves as director of quality for the division and medical director of the largest joint venture dialysis unit in the health system. She has published and spoken on several onconephrology topics internationally. She serves as an associate editor for JON and CKJ.

In this episode of It Takes Balls, Jeff Pilachowski shares his journey through testicular cancer, shaped by his identity as a veteran, father of boys, business owner, and man of faith. Self-employed and responsible not just for his health, but for his livelihood, he talks about having to postpone work for a new client. That reality added another layer of pressure to an already life-altering diagnosis.What makes Jeff's story especially powerful is how he approached the mental and emotional side of cancer. At the center of it all was Jeff's faith, which became a foundation during the most difficult moments. He shares how belief, perspective, and purpose helped him process fear, uncertainty, and the reality of a cancer diagnosis—offering a different lens on what strength can look like during survivorship. Jeff also shares his experience navigating the PACT Act, having been exposed to burn pits while deployed overseas.This episode highlights the importance of recognizing testicular cancer symptoms, advocating for your health, and understanding that survivorship is about more than just treatment—it's about rebuilding physically, mentally, and spiritually.Whether you're navigating a diagnosis, supporting someone through cancer, or learning more about testicular cancer awareness and recovery, Jeff's story is a reminder that strength comes in many forms—and that no one has to face this journey alone.Provide your feedback on the podcast:https://www.testicularcancerawarenessfoundation.org/itbsurveyJoin The Ball Room:https://www.testicularcancerawarenessfoundation.org/theballroomWant to be a guest?

Shaun Bagai, CEO of RenovoRx, has designed a drug-delivery platform to treat hard-to-reach chemo-resistant tumors such as pancreatic cancer by delivering chemotherapy directly to the tumor site. The RenovoCath device increases the drug concentration in the tumor while significantly reducing systemic toxicities and side effects. The technology is not intended to replace the traditional approach using systemic chemotherapy and radiation, but to achieve better results in tumors with low blood supply that prevent drugs from reaching their target in sufficient concentrations. Shaun explains, "Generally, when we think about oncology therapies, it's really trying to balance the detriment to the patients with the toxicities and hopefully keep the tumor at bay or kill the tumor such that patients live longer. And unfortunately, we often forget about the patient and hyper-focus on the disease. And the challenge we've taken on is, can we take both into account and actually treat both the patient and the disease by limiting systemic toxicities and effects, and then trying to improve survival by keeping the tumors at bay." "So, when we look at certain tumors in the body, like pancreatic tumors, for example, they don't have a high level of blood supply. Generally, when we think about tumors, we think of balls of blood vessels with tumor cells, and of tumors such as pancreatic tumors. They don't have large tumor feeder vessels that end in a tumor. And what this does is create a level of chemo resistance because the blood can't carry the chemotherapy forward. And what we've developed with TAMP is a mechanism where we push the drug across the wall of a blood vessel to saturate and bathe the tumor in chemotherapy, such that we get almost a hundredfold increase in tissue concentration compared to if you just gave it systemically throughout the entire body." #RenovoRx #OncologyInnovation #DrugDelivery #CancerCare #MedicalDevices #PancreaticCancer #ClinicalTrials #PatientCare #Interventionalradiology #Oncology #MedicalTechnology #TAMP #Chemotherapy #CancerTreatment #HealthcareInnovatio#TargetedOncology #InnovativeCancerTherapies #PancreaticCancerAwareness #PrecisionOncology RenovoRx.com Listen to the podcast here

The Health Minister's announced 14 new cancer treatment infusion centres will be rolled out countrywide over the next two years. Services at a further 14 existing sites will also be expanded. Simeon Brown says the investment's supported by $210 million, announced in Budget 2024 to upgrade facilities on the back of a Pharmac funding boost. He told Mike Hosking they're expecting around 13,000 additional cancer transfusions – the exact number of patients will depend on the number of transfusions they need based on their treatment type. Brown says they're focusing on prevention, but when people are diagnosed, they need to make sure they receive treatments in a timely manner, closer to home.

Cancer treatment advocates are asking lawmakers to support legislation (House Bill 4339/Senate Bill 809) that would ensure insurance coverage of comprehensive biomarker testing. This legislation has passed in 23 other states so far and Massachusetts appears to be falling behind on this... The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) volunteers, including survivors and patients from across Massachusetts, gathered on Beacon Hill to meet with lawmakers as part of its annual Cancer Action Day to urge them to support proposals that address the needs of cancer patients and reduce health disparities. Marc Hymovitz with the American Cancer Society discussed the MA legislation, what it includes, how it would help cancer patients, and why there is a need for this legislation in MA.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Our goal of precision oncology has been to shift to tailored therapies that can help to improve treatment efficacy and ultimately improve patient outcomes. Resistance biomarker testing can help the care team to detect these genomic changes that the tumor may have acquired during therapy that makes the cells resistant to therapy. This information can be extremely helpful when we're talking about making choices about second-line or subsequent-line therapy," ONS member Danielle Fournier, DNP, APRN, AGPCNP-BC, AOCNP®, advanced practice RN at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about drug resistance biomarker testing.

Highlights From This Episode "We know that biomarkers are playing an ever more important role in cancer care, and really, their use can range anywhere from helping us to confirm a given diagnosis, understand a patient's cancer susceptibility or risk, evaluate prognosis, as well as personalize treatment recommendations. … But in some cases, though, biomarkers can also help us to avoid therapies that are not likely to work. We also call these drug resistance biomarkers. These are those biomarkers that signify that a tumor is unlikely to respond to a given therapy." TS 1:50 "Resistance to cancer therapies is one of the most common issues that arises during cancer treatment. Because the populations of cancer cells within a tumor can be very diverse, when a given drug kills the cells that are sensitive to that therapy, it can also eventually leave behind resistant tumor cells, which can grow and multiply over time. So this can ultimately lead to a point where the treatment that was initially effective is no longer able to control the disease." TS 4:33 "While costs have come down, there can still be a cost associated with biomarker testing, and in some cases, this can be considered a barrier to care. What patients pay out of pocket can vary widely depending on their insurance coverage. So we have some data that was published from the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, and this was published a few years ago in 2023, which showed the average allowed unit cost to insurers per biomarker test ranged anywhere from about $79 for patients who were on Medicaid to about $224 for large-group, self-insured patients." TS 10:03 "There's research underway that's looking not only at genomic changes—so DNA changes that impact drug resistance—but how other substances such as RNA and proteins within the cell can also contribute to drug resistance. And this kind of falls into not just genomics but multiomics field. I have no doubt whatsoever that the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning is likely going to play a large role in drug resistance research. And really, these tools can help researchers to analyze complex data sets, identify novel resistance biomarkers, predict resistance patterns, as well as help to develop treatments that may overcome some of those resistance mechanisms."
