Selective Protection of Normal Cells From Chemotherapy, While Killing Drug-Resistant Cancer Cells

A new review paper was published in Oncotarget's Volume 14 on March 11, 2023, entitled, “Selective protection of normal cells from chemotherapy, while killing drug-resistant cancer cells.” Cancer therapy is limited by toxicity in normal cells and drug-resistance in cancer cells. In his latest review, Mikhail V. Blagosklonny, M.D., Ph.D., from Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center discusses the theory that cancer resistance to certain therapies can be exploited for protection of normal cells—simultaneously enabling the selective killing of resistant cancer cells by using antagonistic drug combinations, which include cytotoxic and protective drugs. “No cancer cell, no matter how resistant it is, can survive chemotherapy in a cell culture. In the organism, however, therapy of cancer is limited by killing or damaging normal cells. Selective protection of normal cells from chemotherapy would increase the therapeutic window, improving the therapeutic outcome. Needless to say, reduction of side effects and better quality of life are very important for a cancer patient.” Depending on the mechanisms of drug-resistance in cancer cells, the protection of normal cells can be achieved with inhibitors of CDK4/6, caspases, Mdm2, mTOR, and mitogenic kinases. When normal cells are protected, the selectivity and potency of multi-drug combinations can be further enhanced by adding synergistic drugs, in theory, eliminating the deadliest cancer clones with minimal side effects. “I also discuss how the recent success of Trilaciclib may foster similar approaches into clinical practice, how to mitigate systemic side effects of chemotherapy in patients with brain tumors and how to ensure that protective drugs would only protect normal cells (not cancer cells) in a particular patient.” Read the full review: DOI: https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.28382 Correspondence to: Mikhail V.

In today's episode, Harini teaches Megan about how one of the biggest Allied cover-ups in WWII history led to the discovery and development of chemotherapy. During WWII, German bombers devastated the port of Bari, Italy where Allied personnel were stationed. Soldiers who were launched into the harbor, but survived the bombing, began to experience severe blistering and heightened internal temperatures. American doctor and chemical warfare expert, Stewart Francis Alexander, believed that all symptoms pointed to mustard gas. But when his report to Allied leaders was met with indifference and exasperation, he knew he had stumbled upon a possible conspiracy. Why were they denying the presence of mustard gas in the bay? Why was this form of gas causing these specific symptoms? Tune in to find out.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How can we find emotional healing through creativity and art? This week's amazing guest offers his insights from his personal healing journey during the process of publishing a powerful and inspiring children's book he co-authored with his late wife. Matthew Ronan likes telling good stories, helping others tell good stories, and most of all wants his life to be a good story. He is an artist, writer, and content producer who's worked in film, television, and radio. His credits include projects for Disney/Lucasfilm, Warner Bros., 20th Century Fox, and the Michael Jackson estate. He lives in San Francisco with his daughter Catica. Chastidy Ronan was an executive director of a family support center, a teacher, a missionary, and a nanny, but the brightest part of her life was being a mom. She taught elementary through college in Ohio, Haiti, China, and San Francisco. She knew 5 languages and always got the most blue ribbons in Toastmasters. She died in 2019 from colon cancer and is survived by her daughter Catica and her husband Matthew. Matthew shares his heart-gripping story of multiple miscarriages, his wife's diagnosis of stage four cancer when their daughter was five months old, and the simultaneous dissolution of the company he had founded during Chastidy's illness. Ronan relates the original dream he shared with his wife about writing children's books. He notes how life became too busy to follow this dream until they resurrected the idea during Chastidy's battle with cancer. Chemotherapy regimens and caring for their young daughter made writing difficult, so Ronan had to finish the book after his wife passed away. Matthew recounts the challenges of navigating life as a creative professional. He notes the fears that seized him as he worked on the book, especially after facing multiple traumatic losses with regard to his family, previous creative projects, and the dissolution of his company. Ronan details how God worked on his heart as he worked through the chapters of the book. The Lord shifted his perspective from worldly success standards toward inspiring others. The mindset change freed Matthew from worry and anxiety. We address the irony of how those who serve in the healing media of art suffer great attacks on their emotional wellbeing, identity, and discouragement. Matthew discusses the sensitivity of creatives as part of their power to offer emotionally transformative work. The emotional nature of an artist also renders them vulnerable to pain. Ronan highlights the cultural pressures and intense competition of the artistic industries. We discuss the issues of comparison and spiritual warfare faced by creatives. Matthew shares his recent encounter with a man armed with a knife who charged at Ronan and his six year-old daughter. He pointed out the incident occurred right before he was scheduled to share his testimony at an event. We also emphasize how those who do not work in creative arts industries can enjoy healing and connection with God through art. Matthew defines art as valuable to all people because it is the language of the heart. Ronan states that art is a tool that God uses for discipleship. He urges us to resist the temptation to ascribe value to our creative projects by comparing them to what others have produced. We differentiate between therapeutic art, healing art, art as worship and the art crafted as work. Matthew and Chastidy Ronan's book, The Girl With 5 Hearts, is about a girl who gives her hearts to the things that she loves, only to have them rejected and broken. It is a painfully honest, yet hopeful story about giving your heart back to the One who made it, because many things in life can break it. No stranger to heartbreak and loss Chastidy's inspiration for The Girl With 5 Hearts was autobiographic, at the same time universal. This story will inspire both young and old, and point towards healing even the deepest of wounds.

I'm Dr. Stephanie Williams, a medical oncologist, and your co-host for the series, along with physician assistant Todd Pickard. We'd also like to introduce you to our guest panelists today. Returning guest, Wendy Vogel, along with Tammy Triglianos. We'll take a moment to let them introduce themselves, starting with Wendy. Wendy Vogel: Hi. Thanks so much for having me today. I'm Wendy Vogel. I'm an oncology nurse practitioner by trade, and I am the Executive Director of APSHO, the Advanced Practitioner Society for Hematology and Oncology. And thanks for having me here today. I'm really excited to be here.  Dr. Stephanie Williams: Tammy.  Tammy Triglianos: Hi, everyone. Thank you for having me. And I'm excited to join this group for our conversation today. I'm Tammy Triglianos. I am a certified oncology nurse practitioner practicing in North Carolina. My career has been dedicated to caring for oncology patients, even starting out as a nursing assistant and then as a registered nurse practicing in a variety of settings. I've been a nurse practitioner for almost 20 years now, with the past 15 specializing in GI medical oncology.  Dr. Stephanie Williams: Thank you.  Todd Pickard: Thanks, everybody, for being here today.  Dr. Stephanie Williams: In today's episode, we will be highlighting the services and examples of what advanced practice providers in oncology can do and describing if and how they bill for their services and how they are reimbursed.  So let's get started. Wendy and Tammy, I'm starting in my clinic, 8:30 in the morning. We have a full panel of patients, patients who just need reassessment, chemotherapy prescribed, reevaluation, bone marrow biopsies, test results. How do we work together to see, as a team, these particular patients, or in other words, what can you do to help me through my days as an oncology practitioner?  Wendy Vogel: Wow, that's a great question to just jump right in and start with. I'm excited to talk about that. Well, I think that, you know, as we always are talking about our team approach, we would look at that schedule. And hopefully, the AP and you have their own schedule so that we're able to divide and conquer and be able to accomplish that schedule, see all the patients in the most efficient manner possible. Hopefully, I've looked at all my patients beforehand and see if there's anything that I need to collaborate with you on. Looking at our labs, you know, maybe scans, talking about any changes in plans that we might anticipate together, and so on.   Tammy, would you do the same?  Tammy Triglianos: Yeah, I'd like to echo your point, Wendy. Having independent schedules, I think, makes for a more efficient workflow in the clinic. And in my practice we have a team meeting with our clinical pharmacist, physician, myself, and our nurse navigator, and review last week's and even prep for the upcoming week, trying to anticipate and make sure people are set up and orders are in, and we're prepared for the week to come. Day of, as you know, can get pretty hectic. But since we've done a lot of that prep work, I think it makes for the unknowns that pop up in clinic easier to connect with each other, with my physician and other team members.  Todd Pickard: I agree. I think the great thing about how physicians and APPs work in teams is that the team can decide what's best. I have done everything from having my own independent template so that I have patients that I'm responsible for to a general template where the physician and I just divide and conquer at the beginning of clinic, and we say, “Okay, you see these patients, I'll see these patients, and we'll back each other up if we need to.” All the way to seeing every single patient along with the physician when we are seeing a lot of news and consults, very complex, very acutely ill patients. And we basically just work as a team the entire day on everything.  So it's really interesting about the conversation that I think we'll end up doing today is the “what” versus “how.” What APPs do is– really, honestly, APPs can do anything and everything unless a state scope of practice or an institution's policy specifically says they can't. That's the good news is that we pretty much can do everything but the “how,” that's a really interesting question because a lot of different things come into play. Position preferences, which could be influenced by their own personal experience or their own personal preferences of style versus, you know, having a misunderstanding of what APPs can and can't do. Then there's the institutional policies and the state scope of practices that come into play. So I think this where we'll end up spending some time today.  And, you know, Stephanie, maybe we could start the conversation with you a little bit around physician preferences and what your experience has been, and some of the things that you've noted around the physicians as part of this team.  Dr. Stephanie Williams: I've worked with APPs, both inpatient and outpatient, and I think it is very important to have that team-based approach. Patients really appreciate that, knowing that there is always a provider, someone there that they can turn to. And I think that's one of the great things about APPs is they always seem to be there for patients to turn to and for our nurses to turn to, to get help too. Both our clinic nurses, our infusion nurses, and our inpatient nurses really appreciate having that extra clinical provider available to them. I think as a physician, during my day, what I would like to see is us getting through our panels of patients, whether we're together, which is not as efficient as if we're independently seeing patients, but also help with things like procedures that need to be done on patients, phone calls at the end of the day, peer-to-peer reviews in order to get either medications or tests done for our particular patients. Filling out forms, no one likes doing that. No one likes filling out disability forms or other insurance forms, but those are all things that we all need help with in terms of doing. Ordering consults, seeing new patients together. I work in the transplant field, so they're complicated patients, so it actually is very helpful to have, to see a patient with your advanced practice provider so that you can come up with a treatment plan together that you know you can then follow throughout the course of hopefully that patient's treatment and recovery. Chemotherapy orders is another place that we need, that can be very valuable, whether it's the initial chemotherapy order, which were usually the physician or pharmacist initiated, but those follow-up chemotherapy appointments or problems in the infusion clinic are also helpful areas.  There are some physicians, though, who want to have an APP simply as their scribe, to follow them around in clinic and to then begin whatever orders they feel is appropriate for that particular patient. That is not the most efficient way to see patients, particularly when you have a large panel of patients that you have to see.  Wendy Vogel: Exactly. It really isn't. I will just tag off something you said about the AP being the scribe. That's probably one of the most expensive scribes that a physician could employ, and what a better use of our time is to not be a scribe. You know, there are other people who could really efficiently be a scribe better than the AP, and the AP could actually be seeing patients and gaining reimbursement for the practice.  Tammy Triglianos: An additional comment on team-based care. I work with a physician where we alternate visits, and I think that has really worked well in establishing a relationship with patients. We both have very high touch points with the patients, very involved, and patients feel like there's that team that's always available because always one of us is usually available. Dr. Stephanie Williams: How long did it take you all, all three of you, to develop that relationship with your physician colleagues to work tightly in a team? Todd Pickard: That's really a great question, Stephanie, because I think one of the strengths of the relationship is that level of trust and comfort and not really to view it as a hierarchical relationship, but really a team. We're there for each other. And you know, that depends, you know, there's personalities involved, people's previous experience, you know. If you've only had great experiences with APPs, probably trust them right away. If you've had difficult relationships with APPs or teams that didn't work well, it may take longer. I'd say the best approach is for both the APP and the physician to really look at this as, “How can we accomplish our work together that provides the best quality and the highest level of safety for our patients?” And really just set the expectations of ‘this is a trusting relationship where we work together, we support each other, and we're willing to talk about where the limits of our knowledge are. And for both of us, that's when we get consultations with other folks, and so we just approach it from this perspective.' And of course, you know,over time, that just strengthens and grows. And when you have a really good, strong, trusting relationship, that's where the real power of the team comes into play. Wendy Vogel: I like what you said about trusting. You know, the AP has to trust in the physician to be able to go and ask questions and to be mentored, and vice versa, too. I think we play to each other's strengths. If my strength is talking about hospice to a patient that needs to change trajectory of course, then maybe that's what I do better. And there are other things that another team member would do better, but feeling comfortable and saying, “You know, this is what I do good,” or, “Hey, I need help with this. I don't do this as well as I would like to.” Dr. Stephanie Williams: Tammy, anything? You said you work with one physician. How did that develop?  Tammy Triglianos: Right now, that's my current setup because of volumes, but I have worked with a team of physicians as well, which, when you're an APP working with a team of three, four plus physicians, that can kind of get a little bit tricky, people fighting for your time. I think being in parallel clinics has helped establish our trusting relationship because all day long, you're with that person navigating care together. We've been together probably 14 years, so that's really dipping back into my memory bank of the beginning of our time together. But I think it's what Wendy was talking about is just approaching each other with questions or, “Hey, why did you do that?” Or “Help me understand this.” And I think our approach to each other wasn't, “Why did you do that?” But, “Help me understand your thoughts on this.” Or “Can I talk through this with you to make sure I'm on the right page.” And how that response came back, then I think that has helped develop a trusting relationship.  Dr. Stephanie Williams: You both bring up excellent points because there still exists that power gradient between the physician, the advanced practice provider, and a staff nurse or an infusion nurse. And it's really important to overcome that so that people are comfortable in terms of taking care of the patient, to give the patient the best possible care that there is. Todd Pickard: Yeah, I mean, I think this is a great time to really just highlight the fact that there's a lot of misinformation and misunderstanding out there around APPs, what they can, what they can't do, what they will, what they won't do. In some corners, there's this fear that APPs will go rogue, and that will harm patients. And really, that is an irrational fear because when we are trained, we are trained very clearly about when you reach your own limits, that you are required and obligated as part of your professional practice to find that support, find those resources, get consultations, work with your team to understand so that you serve the patient. And I think it's really important that folks remember that with this respect and trust and accountability, because asking for help is not a failure. Asking for help shows a successful dynamic within a team so that the entirety of the team brings to bear their expertise, their knowledge, their skills, and their judgment. And when the team doesn't know what to do, that's when you've got to reach out to your consults and your other resources. So I think that's an important thing to remind everybody is that we're all here trying to do the same work, and it doesn't do any good if you spend a lot of time wondering, “What's Todd up to today?” So I think it's important to realize and for us to kind of dispel those kinds of myths. Wendy Vogel: I think, despite a social media post by one of our well-known medical associations that will remain unnamed, we don't think that healthcare is a game. We are absolutely serious about this, and we love taking care of our oncology patients. This is something that we're trained to do and that we want to work together as a team. Great thoughts, Todd. Dr. Stephanie Williams: In terms of actual practice in the states that you're at, are there any restrictions, either statewide, institution-wise, on what you can and can't do? Tammy Triglianos: I think a big topic that comes up a lot is signing treatment plans or antineoplastic treatment plans. And I don't know across the states, but in my state, that is not a state restriction. But not allowing APPs to sign antineoplastic treatment plans is more of an institutional restriction, and that varies. Recently, I was able to work with a team of people to update our policy to allow APPs to sign antineoplastic treatment plans and how it works at my institution, they go through a privileging process, so essentially it's an opt-in privilege. So, APPs can obtain approval to sign treatment plans, and it is restricted to cycle two and after. So the treatment plan initiation and signing the first cycle is done by the physician, and APP can place the treatment plan and get it teed up. But it actually is signed by a physician for cycle one, and then an APP is now allowed to sign beyond cycle one. We have a few guidelines like they have to be in their subspecialty practice and be manipulating treatment plans that are cosigned by the physician initially and have certain subspecialty training. So, yeah, I'm excited about this update to allow APPs to practice to the top of their license.  Todd Pickard: Stephanie, this is such an important concept and one that we have hit upon in all of our podcasts. And really, the limits of APPs outside of physician preferences are really state laws and institutional policies. And so, the answer to your question is ‘yes, and it depends on where you are'. So, for example– Tammy gave an example of what's going on in her institution. In my institution, all chemotherapy plans must have a double signature, whether it's initiated by a physician or a pharmacist, or an APP, and that's a safety and quality check. And so everybody just needs to understand, again, limits generally are only in state laws and institutional policies rather than what APPs are trained to do or what folks will reimburse for. And so, really, that's where you have to do the most detailed examination is: what state are you in and what does your institution or your practice say? Generally speaking, most states allow teams at the local level to kind of figure out what they want to do. Sometimes they'll limit a certain medication, like a schedule II drug or a certain other medication. Institutions sometimes do the same thing. But the good news is, if it's not explicit in state law, you can change institutional policy and physician preference all day long.  Wendy, what's your experience been?  Wendy Vogel: Oh, I totally agree. I think it's important for APs to know who's setting the institutional policies and for physicians to know this as well because it may be someone who is not familiar with what the AP role could really be. What do they know about the advanced practitioner? We mentioned that earlier. But I think it also brings up a very important gap that we've seen in oncology, is what's the training of the AP to be able to write anti-cancer therapy orders, and it's a wide variety. There are very few, for instance, nurse practitioner oncology certification or graduate programs. Most of us are trained in a generalist level as a family nurse practitioner. PAs, as you said before on this podcast, you are trained at a generalist level, and we get a lot of our specialty education on the job or through other advanced education. So we're coming into this at all different levels: brand new APs, brand new to oncology APs, and we've seen a gap at the educational level across the US is not the same.  One of the things that APSHO has done to relieve this, and I'm so excited to be able to share with you guys, is we've just recently launched the APSHO Cancer Therapy Prescribing Course. This, I think, will set the benchmark that we've just talked about and bridge this gap, and allow APs to really practice to the top of their licensure, as Tammy mentioned earlier. It's a very comprehensive online, self-paced course providing that advanced education to prescribe cancer therapies and to manage that hem/onc patient throughout the treatment trajectory. It does not just include the cancer therapies but other things we need to know as APs, like: what kind of drugs do we give with the cancer therapies, what are the standards of care, what do we do in clinical trials? And so just all this that we need to know, and I hope this will bridge that gap, if you will, for this education.  Dr. Stephanie Williams: Excellent points. I think it also requires physician education to know and understand what advanced practice providers can do. And I think an advantage to our younger generation physicians is that they are now growing up in institutions where APPs are normal, as opposed to older physicians like myself, where we really do have to learn what can be done and what can't be done so that we can trust what everyone is doing there. Todd Pickard: Are we normal? Yes. But what you really mean is that we're present. It's really about interprofessional education, and I think there's a lot of importance of that concept. If we're going to be delivering care in teams, we should be trained in teams so that you grow up side by side and so that way it does seem normal. I'm working in a team; where's the social worker? Where's the APP? You know, where's the pharmacist? Because that's how you trained, and that's how we really deliver care. That's the honest truth. No man or no woman is an island in medicine. We all work in teams, whether we recognize that or not. And so I think it's great when you hear about folks that are actually training side by side because it just dispels some of this anxiety, some of these misconceptions, and you're just used to the team being around, and it's like, “Okay, where's my team?” And then it doesn't become unusual. It's just normal. Wendy Vogel: Yeah, we're all sitting here nodding our heads together. You all can't see us, but we're all nodding. So, Stephanie, I really want to know, how do you educate your colleagues who might not be as receptive to the idea of an advanced practitioner writing cancer therapy orders? Dr. Stephanie Williams: I have to tell you, it's difficult sometimes, Wendy, or it has been difficult in the past. The problem becomes not so much a “do you know what you're doing,” problem is how does the reimbursement - I hate to say this – how does reimbursement figure into all this? If I let an APP see half of my patients, who gets that money? And then the other thing is just how do I efficiently use an APP? And we are trying, and  ASCO through the Clinical Practice Committee, to try to get out there and reach out to practices, particularly rural practices, to help them understand the role and the value of advanced practice providers. And I think it's going to be a reach-out effort, leading by example, showing people that this is the way we can do it and we have to do it this way because we need practitioners out there to take care of patients. Todd Pickard: I want us to all pause here because what you just talked about is critically important. And we all know this is part of medicine, whether we like it or not. But reimbursement, how we get paid, and productivity, how we are recognized for what we do, are concepts that sometimes get mixed up. So when you're talking about reimbursement, APPs are reimbursed just like physicians for everything that we do. Depending on who's paying the bill, they may reduce that reimbursement. So CMS reduces generally to 85% of the physician fees. Medicaid is all over the place, depending on your state and the third-party payers, like the commercial insurance, that's based on whatever you've negotiated in your contract. Sometimes it's a little, and sometimes it's the same. So APPs get reimbursed, period. What level they get reimbursed compared to the physician's reimbursement is really up to a lot of different factors.  But productivity, I think that's the thing that we really get hung up on is, well,who's going to get credit for this work? And guess what? The beauty of that is you get to decide. Every practice, every institution makes up those rules. And so, you know, the take-home message here is, don't confuse reimbursement with productivity. Reimbursement is a lot of external factors that are either statutory, or they're contractually negotiated. But productivity is an internal accounting, and you can use team-based metrics. Who's to stop you from saying ‘we reward and recognize both the physician and the APP in these teams.' They both get credit, and they both get productivity measurements and recognition. And so I think that's where we really need to drive home the message is it's not about setting each other up as competitors. It's redesigning our internal productivity measures so that it's collaborative and that all the work that's being done by the entire team is being recognized and rewarded. Wendy Vogel: A lot of what we do, as Stephanie referred to earlier, is not reimbursable. All those peer-to-peer reviews, we don't get paid for that. None of us do. Calling patients back, liaisoning with the nursing staff, and answering their questions through the triage line, so much of that is vital to supporting a practice, and you can't do it without all that, but it doesn't appear on the bean counter's metric sheet. So how do we do that? I don't have the answer to that. Tammy Triglianos: Yeah, and I think in oncology/hematology, there's a lot of frequent touch points in between provider visits, and that doesn't equate to money, but equates to high-quality care, to have access to skilled providers to help manage all the complications, and, you know,in between stuff that happens between provider visits. Dr. Stephanie Williams: Wendy, there have been changes now in terms of who can enroll and write treatment orders for patients on cancer clinical trials. Could you go over those changes with us and how APPs can now fully participate in this process? Wendy Vogel: So there were some recent changes to CTEP and then now allowing APs to sign clinical trial orders. This is huge because it really makes the process of getting patients their drugs in the infusion suite much quicker. We don't have to track down a physician to sign those clinical trial orders. The AP can do that. And so this process is made much smoother. I think we'll see a lot of other cooperative groups and institutions follow suit with this. And I think this was a real demonstration of the AP's quality of care and the safety of AP prescribing and being able to have this privilege. Todd Pickard: Well, this has been a fascinating conversation today, and I would like everybody to have a final say. What's your take-home message today about what APPs can and can't do. And Tammy, we'll start with you.  Tammy Triglianos: Thank you. This was a great conversation today. Happy to be a part of it. Know that APPs with supportive, appropriate training, and, you know, I just have to shout out to Wendy and APSHO for the chemo prescribing course. I think this is huge for bridging a gap. Lots of education programs don't have oncology subspecialty, and this is such a comprehensive course that bridges a gap that I think will be huge. And I hope every oncology cancer center adopts, incorporating this to elevate the education and offer some subspecialty education to our oncology APPs. Kudos for all the team-based care and physician and APP teams out there that are really working hard to care for our cancer patients. Todd Pickard: Wendy, what are some of your final thoughts? Wendy Vogel: I have to agree with Tammy. I'm really excited about the APSHO Cancer Therapy Prescribing Course. I think that we can, together as a team, really make a difference in cancer care, playing to each other's strengths, and I think that would be my takeaway is: how can we better play to each other's strengths? Todd Pickard: Stephanie, what about some of your final thoughts? Dr. Stephanie Williams: I think working with APPs is critical to the success of any medical practice and to any physician who takes care of patients. Todd Pickard: Well, I appreciate all the insights. And just as a reminder, APPs and physicians, generally speaking, can decide whatever they want that is best for the practice, best for their patients, and delivers high-quality and safe care. Just be aware of your state regulations and find those institutional policies that are holding you back. Good news on the institutional policies - you can change them just like you can change your productivity metrics and models. So the good word is APPs and physicians can work in amazing teams, and we have all the power at our disposal to do so.  Well, I want to thank you to my co-host, Dr. Williams, along with Wendy and Tammy, for joining our discussion today and sharing all of your experience and highlights into the services that APPs can deliver. It's clear that APPs and physicians working together in teams are vital to a strong and efficient delivery of our team-based care.  Well, until our next episode, thanks, everybody, and take care.

In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger (facilitator and retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice) with Sylvie Beljanski about nonprofit, whose working towards curing cancer the natural way For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/sylvie-beljanski     Highlights from today's episode include: Sylvie Beljanski 14:49 I think we have to be relentless. We have to keep speaking. Keep publishing, keep being there for all the people who want to learn about their own health and take it as they want to learn about how to take care of themselves, what is available to them naturally. Sylvie Beljanski So here we have a natural product which is going to help preserve bone marrow to do its own work without toxicity and therefore it means all the families of white blood cells are going to be created without any imbalance without growth factor and so on. Sylvie Beljanski So, when you have something that really really works, it finds its way one way or another. It is at some point recognized and therefore, never give up because it will eventually be recognized by good people with an open mind that will recognize the value of the science and give it a chance.   ABOUT SYLVIE BELJANSKI: Sylvie Beljanski, a French lawyer by trade, is a health advocate for holistic medicine, public speaker, internationally known author and entrepreneur. She is the Founder and Executive Vice President of The Beljanski Foundation, whose mission is to research natural approaches to cancer. She is also the CEO of Maison Beljanski, an international dietary supplement company. Ms. Beljanski is the award winning author of "Winning The War On Cancer: The Epic Journey Towards a Natural Cure". This book has helped propel Ms. Beljanski to be a sought-after speaker at health and wellness conferences globally, where she has educated thousands of people about scientific breakthroughs in the field of integrative medicine. Core purpose/passion: The Beljanski Foundation's mission is to sponsor research programs with various natural extracts recognized by Dr. Mirko Beljanski for their anticancer properties. Research has entailed programs on prostate cancer at Columbia University, including advanced prostate cancer that no longer responds to chemotherapy, as well as ovarian and pancreatic cancers at Kansas University Medical Center. All of these studies were completed using the same botanical extracts. They have been reported to be effective on both males and females and have also exhibited great synergy with a variety of chemotherapies. Research studies have proven that these same extracts are also effective against cancer stem cells, those cells deemed to be responsible for cancer relapse and metastasis. Passionate does not do justice for how driven I am to share the message about the effects and possibility for the extracts to save people's lives. Cancer researchers are all pursuing different goals. Some want to have something approved by the FDA, some want to milk an old patent into a new one and provide a new life to an old, ineffective molecule, and some simply want to cure people. All of these goals are very different and it is difficult to imagine that they could work together. However, since a number of prestigious universities have published their results with several Beljanski extracts, I have seen increased interest from researchers at other institutions and I would love to see The Beljanski Foundation establish new partnerships across the board. There is still so much research to be done.

Dr. Beverly Moy is back on the ASCO Guidelines Podcast to discuss the latest guideline rapid recommendation update regarding sacituzumab govitecan for patients with hormone receptor-positive HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer based on recent evidence published in TROPiCS-02. Dr. Moy reviews how this update intersects with the previous rapid recommendation update on trastuzumab deruxtecan and future areas of research that may impact further updates to this evidence-based guideline. Read the latest update, "Chemotherapy and Targeted Therapy for Endocrine-Pretreated or Hormone Receptor–Negative Metastatic Breast Cancer: ASCO Guideline Rapid Recommendation Update" at www.asco.org/breast-cancer-guidelines. TRANSCRIPT Brittany Harvey: Hello and welcome to the ASCO Guidelines podcast, one of ASCO's podcasts delivering timely information to keep you up to date on the latest changes, challenges, and advances in oncology. You can find all the shows, including this one at asco.org/podcasts.   My name is Brittany Harvey and today I'm interviewing Dr. Beverly Moy from Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, lead author on ‘Chemotherapy and Targeted Therapy for Endocrine-Pretreated or Hormone Receptor–Negative Metastatic Breast Cancer: ASCO Guideline Rapid Recommendation Update'. Thank you for being here, Dr. Moy. Dr. Beverly Moy: Thank you for having me, Brittany. I'm glad to be here. Brittany Harvey: Then first, I'd like to note that ASCO takes great care in the development of its guidelines and ensuring that the ASCO conflict of interest policy is followed for each guideline. The full conflict of interest information for this guideline panel is available in line with the publication of the guideline in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. Dr. Moy, do you have any relevant disclosures that are directly related to this guideline topic? Dr. Beverly Moy: I do not have any relevant disclosures. Brittany Harvey: It's great to have you back on the podcast. Last we spoke, we were discussing the July 2022 rapid update of this guideline regarding the use of trastuzumab deruxtecan. What prompted the second rapid update to the guideline? Dr. Beverly Moy: Thank you very much for that question, Brittany. The guidelines committee decided to issue another rapid guideline update because of the second interim analysis results of the TROPiCS-02 trial. This trial showed that sacituzumab govitecan had a significant improvement of over three months in overall survival compared to chemotherapy of physician's choice in patients with pretreated metastatic hormone receptor positive and HER2/neu-negative breast cancer. So we felt that the strength of this data compelled the ASCO guideline ommittee to issue yet another update. Brittany Harvey: Understood. So then, based off this strong data that you just mentioned from TROPiCS-02, what is the updated recommendation from the guideline expert panel? Dr. Beverly Moy: So the guidelines expert panel really wanted to get this information out because we felt compelled that clinicians should be aware that sacituzumab govitecan is another treatment option for patients with endocrine-resistant metastatic hormone receptor- positive and HER2-negative breast cancer. So we felt that clinicians may use this drug in patients who have received at least two prior treatments in a metastatic setting. Brittany Harvey: Okay, you just mentioned this is one of several treatment options. So as this new recommendation is implemented, what should clinicians know? Dr. Beverly Moy: So, I think that clinicians really need to be aware that sacituzumab govitecan, which is a newer drug, as an antibody drug conjugate, it really does have a role in patients with metastatic hormone receptor positive, HER2/neu-negative endocrine-refractory breast cancer. I think clinicians have been used to this drug in the setting of metastatic triple-negative breast cancer, but the results of theTROPiCS-02 trial would show us that it actually has a lot of efficacy and even an overall survival benefit in patients with metastatic hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. So clinicians should be made aware that this is a treatment option that does give an overall survival benefit. Brittany Harvey: Great. It's great to hear that there's an overall survival benefit with this drug. So, in addition to that, how does this rapid update impact patients with hormone receptor-positive HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer? Dr. Beverly Moy: So I think that it's important for clinicians to remember that patients with metastatic hormone receptor-positive HER2/neu-negative breast cancer, the first-line therapies are endocrine therapy and targeted therapies. But when their disease becomes endocrine refractory, we have several treatment options, and usually the standard is sequential single-agent chemotherapy. What this guideline update is telling us is that sacituzumab govitecan, when compared to other treatments of physician's choice, really does improve overall survival and progression-free survival. So it really should be considered. Brittany Harvey:  Excellent. And then finally, are there ongoing research developments that the panel is keeping an eye on for any future updates to this guideline? I know this guideline was last published in 2021 and there's already been two rapid updates to it. Dr. Beverly Moy: Yes, that's a really great question, Brittany, because this is a very active field, and I think that it's important actually to take this guideline update with sacituzumab govitecan in the context of our last guideline update, which, as you said earlier, was with the other antibody drug conjugate trastuzumab deruxtecan. That was our last guideline update in patients who had what we call metastatic HER2 low disease, where trastuzumab deruxtecan had a significant overall survival advantage as well. So what these two guideline updates are really pointing out is that there's this new class of drugs, these antibody drug conjugates, that have so much promise and so much activity in metastatic breast cancer, whether it's hormone receptor-positive or hormone receptor-negative. So future research really has to help us clarify how do we sequence these drugs most appropriately now that we have these two very active treatment options that have a significant overall survival advantage. And then research also has to really guide us into the resistance mechanisms that may be in common or not in common with these two antibody drug conjugates. So I think that we're really looking at results of future trials to see how best to sequence them, if they should be used earlier in treatment in the metastatic setting, and we await the results of those trials. Brittany Harvey: Absolutely. We'll look forward to those future research developments and work with you and the panel to continuously update these guidelines. So I want to thank you so much for your work leading these guideline rapid recommendation updates, and thank you for your time today, Dr. Moy. Dr. Beverly Moy: Thank you, Brittany, for having me.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Damon Sununtnasuk. He is the founder and CEO of the Sunt Group and Palmara Health which is previously named Nature Cure Labs. He has received numerous awards and recognitions in 2020. These awards include but are not limited to Company of the Year - Health Products & Services, Health & Wellness Nutrition Manufacturer of the Year, 10 Most Influential CEOs in 2022, and many more. Damon is also part of the board of directors of the University of Florida Alumni Association. Damon was born and raised in Florida where he graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Florida with the degree of Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. He had an opportunity to live overseas which is why he was able to take his Master of Business Administration at the University of Cambridge.  After living overseas, Damon came back to the United States in the year 2015. During this time, he experienced various serendipity. One of them is not having a way of looking after his health. At the time, he was also surrounded by the technological industry, entrepreneurial spirit, and startups. Aside from that, his group of friends was also into MCTs for health purposes which triggered his curiosity. There was even a time when he discovered "oil pulling" which is the process of putting coconut oil in the mouth for 10 minutes before spitting it out to help remove dirt and help maintain the health of your teeth and gums. After these events, he began to research MCTs where he was able to discover the different therapeutic benefits of Medium-Chain Triglycerides. Together with his desire to improve his health and the will to help others, he was able to establish his company in 2015. Currently, they have 3 manufacturing facilities and 35 warehouses in the United States. In this episode, Damon discusses Medium-Chain Triglycerides, specifically Monolaurin, and their role and benefits to the body. He talks about different studies about it and briefly discusses how these supplements are collected and made. He also mentions the Monolaurin product that his company offers.

The health benefits of MCTs have been studied over the years. Some people put it on their coffee, protein shakes, food and etc. When MCTs have been converted in the body, it becomes monolaurin. The three main types of MCTs are Capric, Caprylic, and Lauric Acid. They bring benefits to the body by giving immune support and regulation as well as an aid in ketosis. Damon is focusing on Lauric Acid as based on their research, it helps in immune, digestive, and inflammatory support. [11:33] Everything About Monolaurin: Role and Benefits in the Body Damon read a study about the use of Monolaurin to fight off Giardia Lamblia, one of the most common causes of malnutrition. One of the studies Damon has read used Monolaurin to try cure Giardia Lamblia on animal subjects in which the cure rates reached over 90%.  On the other hand, Damon has also read another study wherein Monolaurin was used on the animal subjects first before giving Giardia Lamblia. 60% of the test subjects didn't get sick. Research shows that Monolaurin helps in breaking down the protective envelope of the DNA and RNA viruses. Breast milk contains 6.5% of Monolaurin. Monolaurin can be found on coconut oil and palm oil. However, palm oil can only be harvested on sensitive environments which can affect natural habitats which is why coconut oil is more preferred. [20:21] The Different Ways You Can Take Monolaurin Before taking any supplements, you must contact a health professional in order to determine the right dosage for you to take. Introductory dose - Taking Monolaurin once a day, once every other day, and slowly increasing that up into the therapeutic dosage you're looking to get as an individual. Maintenance - In this way, monolaurin is taken daily to help maintain and regulate the healthy immune response.  Some people also take Monolaurin when they feel sick or immunocompromised.  [25:30] How Safe is Monolaurin for the Body? Monolaurin, under its chemical name 'Glycerol Monolaurin', is included on the 'Generally Recognized as Safe' list of the FDA. Different studies have not indicated a limit on the use of Monolaurin. Monolaurin impacts gut health. Research suggests that the continuous use of Monolaurin does not creates resistance in the body. [27:38] What Should You Do Before Buying a Product? Check out product testimonials posted on the website or marketplaces. Some product reviews are incentivized and not true so you should try and search about it first. Research through trusted websites like PubMed, familiarized yourself on different products, the science, the background, then the mechanics of it all and sort of trust the science and not necessarily someone's opinion.

Please don't attribute this to me, as it could be seen as a disease claim. “When monolaurin is consumed, it circulates in the bloodstream & is metabolized in a delayed fashion over 8-12 hours. Monolaurin is not excreted or detoxified out of the body. Instead, it is turned into energy in the form of ketones, [which in turn can] support ketone levels in the body.” -          https://dralexrinehart.com/articles/monolaurin-a-secret-coconut-oil-compound-with-powerful-immune-benefits/ “When coconut oil is consumed, the medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are broken down into individual medium chain fatty acids and monoglycerides, which can kill or inactivate pathogenic microorganisms inside the body. The antiviral action, attributed to monolaurin (the monoglyceride of lauric acid), is that of solubilizing the lipids and phospholipids in the envelope of the pathogenic organisms causing the disintegration of their outer membrane. There is also evidence that MCFA interfere with the organism's signal transduction and the antimicrobial effect in viruses is due to interference with virus assembly and viral maturation.” -          Arora, Rajesh, et al. “Potential of Complementary and Alternative Medicine in Preventive Management of Novel H1N1 Flu (Swine Flu) Pandemic: Thwarting Potential Disasters in the Bud.” Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 13 Oct. 2010. “[Monolaurin] removes the M protein from the virus envelope resulted in loss of envelope integrity, which is essential for virus infectivity… the loss of envelope integrity results in loss of infectious virus titer” -          Hierholzer, John C, and Jon J Kabara. “In Vitro Effects of Monolaurin Compounds on Enveloped DNA and RNA Viruses.” Journal of Food Safety, vol. 4, no. 1, Mar. 1982, pp. 1–12. “Medium-chain saturated and long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, on the other hand, were all highly active against the enveloped viruses... Antiviral fatty acids were found to affect the viral envelope, causing leakage and at higher concentrations, a complete disintegration of the envelope and the viral particles.

Christina Myers and Kevin Reardon's daughter Olivia has been through a myriad of serious health issues in her still very young life. Born 10 1/2 weeks prematurely, she had heart surgery when she was a month old, and then after a healthy period that lasted 3 years, she was diagnosed with Stage 4 Aveolar Rhabdomayosarcoma.  Olivia just completed her 51st out of 66 Chemotherapy treatments, has returned to school as a 5th grader, and as 2023 goes on, the hope is that she will return to full health and a peaceful life as soon as possible. Christina and Kevin will also talk about their Olivia Strong Foundation, which they started in March of 2022 with the hope that it will become an important Regional non-profit to help as many kids and families as possible in the pediatric cancer fight. This non- profit is based in Charlotte, North Carolina.

While he was still in Chemotherapy, Brian convinced his parents to hit the Nordic jumps at his home in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. With each bigger jump he was more and more hooked. Then he convinced them to let him join the program. Nordic Combined became his sport when he followed his friends not realizing that it meant the pain of Cross-Country skiing, but he soon realized that he had a talent for that pain and was rewarded for being tough the way that he had been as a little kid having to get his blood drawn. That joy and toughness led to two Olympic and five World Championship Teams. Now, he works with one of the preeminent knee clinics in the world, giving so many others an opportunity to live fully.
