Dr. Fumiko Chino and Dr. Raymond Osarogiagbon share highlights from the 2024 ASCO Quality Care Symposium, including patient perspectives and compelling research on topics like equity, supportive care, survivorship, and technology and innovation. TRANSCRIPT Dr. Fumiko Chino: Hello and welcome to the ASCO Daily News Podcast. I'm Dr. Fumiko Chino, an assistant professor in radiation oncology at the MD Anderson Cancer Center. On today's episode, we'll be highlighting key research and compelling perspectives that were featured at the 2024 ASCO Quality Care Symposium. I was delighted to serve as the chair-elect of this meeting's program committee, and I'm overjoyed to welcome its chair, Dr. Raymond Osarogiagbon, to the podcast today. He is the chief scientist at the Baptist Memorial Health Care Corporation and the director of the Multidisciplinary Thoracic Oncology Program at the Baptist Cancer Center in Memphis, Tennessee. Our full disclosures are available in the transcript of this episode, and we've already agreed to go by our first names for this podcast today. Ray, it's so great to speak with you today. Dr. Raymond Osarogiagbon: Thank you, Dr. Chino, and thank you for letting me call you by your first name. Dr. Fumiko Chino: I think both of our names are complicated enough and so I appreciate the level of familiarity that we've had with each other during the planning process for this fantastic meeting. Now, the Quality Care Symposium featured some really compelling research on very timely topics that address a wide range of issues in cancer care, including quality, safety, equity, supportive care, survivorship, and technology and innovation. Wow, what a lot to cover. Ray, do you mind sharing with me some of the key sessions that really stood out for you? Dr. Raymond Osarogiagbon: Yes, Fumiko, this was such a great conference. Our tagline this year was ‘Driving Solutions, Implementing Change.' We had more than 700 attendees in person and virtually. The Symposium featured many fantastic speakers, oral abstracts, posters, and we had networking opportunities for junior colleagues to interact with leaders in the space. We had conversations that will surely inspire future collaborations to improve quality cancer care. We had patients, advocates. I was inspired by the patient perspectives that were presented, learned a lot. And I really felt like this enhanced our understanding of some of the key issues that we see in our clinics. I was honored to be able to introduce my dear friend, Dr. Ethan Basch from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, who received the Joseph Simone Quality Care Award this year. Dr. Basch gave a talk titled, “On the Verge of a Golden Age in Quality Cancer Care.” In his talk, which received a standing ovation, Dr. Basch tracked his personal development from fellowship training at Memorial Sloan Kettering through a junior faculty position at the same institution under the mentorship of Dr. Deborah Schrag, and ultimately to his current position as chair of oncology at the University of North Carolina and as physician-in-chief at the North Carolina Cancer Hospital. In parallel, with the evolution of the patient-reported outcomes movement that he has been right at the heart of, and also the evolution of cancer care delivery research into its current position of prominence in oncology. That was a spectacular talk, and it rightly received a standing ovation. We also had presentations and panel discussions that addressed patient navigation and cancer care moving from theory to practice, which provided wonderful, diverse perspectives on the evidence-based approaches to patient navigation and cancer care. And a wonderful session on the complexities of the pharmaceutical supply chain and what everyone in oncology should know that looks at the current challenges in the pharmaceutical supply chain. Leveraging technology to support patient-centered multidisciplinary care [was also covered], and we talked about health-related social needs and the impact of diversity, equity and inclusion on the oncology workforce. Patient care perspectives were just incredible. So, Fumiko, as an equity researcher, I really want to hear your key takeaways from some of these discussions. Dr. Fumiko Chino: I have to say, I was so impressed with not just the science that was presented, but also the passion from some of our educational speakers who are really speaking from their expertise and their commitment to try to continue to advance equity in the field of cancer care. And as someone who is still a relatively junior researcher, I feel that the work that I've done over the last decade has really been built on the shoulders of these giants. Just harkening back to you had mentioned that Dr. Basch essentially gave an overview of his career and as a young health services researcher, I've been really impressed about how generous the leaders in the field have been with their time not only to discuss their research at this conference, but also to talk to trainees and fellows and junior researchers and really share the wealth of their knowledge. In terms of equity research presented at the conference though, I was really struck by the overview we were able to provide about the best care to provide to LGBTQ patients. Dr. Mandy Pratt-Chapman actually gave a really lovely overview that was always centered in the patient. It really taught me a lot about what the best practice is to not just collect SOGI data to improve research, but also that there's billing codes that can actually help decrease the chance that a patient may be misbilled based on anatomical misunderstanding of their gender identity. I was very impressed about the capacity for some of our researchers to really think outside of the classic box for DEI research. So not just race as a social construct, ethnicity, but also health literacy barriers. There was a fantastic analysis looking at a randomized control trial (Abstract 385) that actually showed that patients with low health literacy actually got the most benefit from a digital intervention that involved text reminders to increase adherence. And the flip side of health literacy is that we know that the specific interventions that we do really need to be explicitly designed for the populations that they will be implemented on. Dr. LoConte actually had the results from her intervention looking at a radon mitigation indigenous communities (Abstract 44). And I was so impressed about her commitment to the process of listening to the communities and what their needs were, what their concerns were, and then implementing this community led intervention that helped mitigate the radon risk from many households where the actual radon levels were surprisingly high, beyond what they were that what they were anticipating. And so, it's all of these manifestations of how do we actually improve research, how do we advance the field and further the conversation in an era when it seems like DEI is really under attack. Well, I know you've long been an advocate for equity for lung cancer. And I know that you were actually involved in one of the amazing abstracts being presented that was essentially a decade- long QI (quality improvement) project to try to improve standards of care for lung cancer in a high-risk community in the Mississippi Delta (Abstract 278). And it actually showed over time that this surgical pathology intervention actually was able to improve overall survival for lung cancer. I know that this is part of the work that you've been doing for years. Can you talk a little bit about what was presented within the Symposium specifically for lung cancer, including your study? Dr. Raymond Osarogiagbon: Yes, Fumiko. The member of my team, Olawale Akinbobola, who has an MPH that he actually acquired within my research team I'm proud to say, had the wonderful opportunity to present this work on implementing surgical quality improvement, and in parallel, pathology quality improvement in a well-defined population involving 14 hospitals in seven health care systems across five contiguous hospital referral regions in Mississippi, Arkansas, and Tennessee, at the heart of the Mississippi Delta region. So Olawale showed that over the course of four consecutive 5-year time spans, the quality of surgery has improved from a time when using current objective benchmarks of surgical quality, anywhere from 0-5% of resections met these current standards. So basically, applying today's standards, but retrospectively, to where, as the interventions took hold, we now got to a point where about 67% of the sections in this population now attain surgical quality. And we saw in sequential lockstep with that, that the hazard of death among these patients has significantly decreased. All the way, I think using the first 5 years as the reference, the hazard reduced about 64%. Really amazing to see. But you know, there were other fascinating abstracts. There was a randomized controlled trial, Abstract 185, that demonstrated that olanzapine therapy was actually way more effective than prochlorperazine for patients with intractable chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. I found that very compelling abstract. And then there was Elyse Richelle Parks who reported on the effectiveness of a virtual sustained tobacco treatment, Abstract 376 [a clinical trial conducted by ECOG-ACRIN within the NCI Community Oncology Research Program]. This tobacco control intervention is remotely administered using technology that was presented in today's session on leveraging technology to enhance multidisciplinary care delivery.  That too was amazing to behold. Dr. Fumiko Chino: I've been so impressed within my, at least my interactions with the Quality Care Symposium for the last several years about how this meeting really creates the perfect space for this type of science, which can be frankly underappreciated at other meetings. You know, something like a QI project, a quality improvement project leading to an overall survival benefit or a trial like you mentioned, the randomized control trial for olanzapine, which specifically had a quality-of-life endpoint, meaning that patient quality-of-life was a compelling justification for optimal nausea control. These things are really underappreciated sometimes at the larger scientific meetings, and the ASCO Quality Care Symposium is really where these types of studies and this type of research really shines; it's very patient-centered. You mentioned the patient voice being a really integral part, and I certainly agree with that. The entire meeting started with a session featuring a phenomenal patient advocate, Jamil Rivers, who was diagnosed with de novo stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. And her experience with her primary treatment really highlighted some of the care gaps that Black women experience in their journey with breast cancer. And it really charged her to actually create a patient navigation organization to help Black women with breast cancer get more evidence-based care to make sure that they were actually asking the questions that needed to be asked, getting the resources that they qualified for, and making sure they were getting evidence-based care. Now shifting gears a little bit, in oncology and across medicine, there's actually been some major challenges with drug shortages. I'd like to ask you about the session that was featured to inform oncologists about what we need to know about navigating the complexities of the pharmaceutical supply chain. Do you mind sharing highlights from that discussion, Ray? Dr. Raymond Osarogiagbon: I will, Fumiko, but before I do that, I have to follow up on what you said about Jamil Rivers, the breast cancer survivor and advocate who leads the Chrysalis Initiative. She made the statement of the meeting [in my opinion] when she said, “A hospital encounter for a Black woman is like a Black man being pulled over by the police.” Wow. I mean, that's a direct quote. It suddenly helped me understand my wife's many years-long anxiety whenever she has to deal with encounters with clinicians and health care systems. But about that wonderful session on the challenges with the pharmaceutical supply chain. For me, there were two key highlights. One was Dr. Deborah Patt's discussion on the growing influence of pharmacy benefit managers, PBMs, on the cost and delivery of cancer care. And then there is Jason Weston's discussion of how U.S. generic oncology drug manufacturing has moved almost entirely out of the U.S. with this incredible unrealistic price focus, almost so focused on price competition, almost totally ignoring quality and safety. And paradoxically, that fierce competition has inhibited competition, right? So as the margins have shrunk and all these generic drug manufacturers have moved overseas with little oversight, the supply chain gets disrupted because these companies are not able to invest in processes, in their manufacturing facilities and so on. So, when something goes wrong, all of us become vulnerable. And the other striking thing I learned from Jason was this problem is not new. It is not new. It's been with us for decades. And without comprehensive solutions, unfortunately, it's not going to go away. So, these are some of the examples of things that I would really love the podcast audience to go and check out for themselves. Dr. Fumiko Chino: I will just highlight one additional aspect of that session, which was actually the oral abstract (Abstract 1) that was embedded into the session that was specifically about how when during the cisplatin shortage of last year, when that drug was out of stock, which is honestly a very widely available, typically cheap medication, Dr. Jody Garey actually presented on the fact that the things that were substituted were actually far more expensive, and that actually led to not just people not getting the standard of care due to the drug shortages, but also increased costs. So, the bizarre side effect of the race to the bottom in terms of price competition is the fact that during these shortage periods, there's actually a sharp increase in the overall cost, not just to the administration, but also in terms of payer costs and patient cost sharing. So, it is sort of a lose-lose situation. And that was really highlighted to me by that abstract. And I'm so grateful for the research that really puts these experiences that we see in our clinic, things like drug shortages, in a larger perspective of how things like health policy and reimbursement and some of the nitty-gritty that goes on beyond the scenes in terms of oncology practice really is ending up impacting patient care. Now Ray, is there anything else you'd like to highlight before we wrap up the podcast? Dr. Raymond Osarogiagbon: One I maybe should highlight was the discussion about DEI, which is obviously a contentious topic. And we had Dr. Tawana Thomas Johnson with the American Cancer Society tell us how DEI has evolved from something that everybody seemed like they were eager to support and champion in 2020 to a kind of backlash...how we moved from $5 billion in pledges by corporations to support DEI initiatives in 2020 after the George Floyd murder to now where everybody is wanting to roll things back. And yet in the face of this, wanting to roll things back, wanting to respond to the inevitable backlash, there is this commitment still that some companies have had to DEI and workforce development ideas, so nevertheless, ongoing support. For me, that was a bright spot. Dr. Fumiko Chino: I have to say, as someone who started going to the ASCO Quality Care Symposium as a trainee, I've been really encouraged myself in terms of bright spots for this meeting about the engagement from trainees, from medical students to residents and fellows to early faculty. We even had someone who had just graduated high school ask us one of the questions in a session. And that really highlighted for me that this meeting is a very young meeting. It really is the next generation of health services researchers. And that has always been one of the joys about some of the discussions because I feel like the science presented, the education presented is sparking new collaborations, new research paradigms, new mission driven research for another generation. And it's been just simply phenomenal. Dr. Raymond Osarogiagbon: Yeah, the networking opportunities. Wow. It was such a joy to behold people getting together, breaking off in small clusters, interacting with each other, strangers meeting and hitting it off. I mean, just what a wonderful meeting this is. Dr. Fumiko Chino: Yeah, I have to highlight that. Certainly, at my first ASCO Quality meeting at this point, I think eight years ago, I went to one of those Meet the Expert luncheons, had a great conversation with a phenomenal researcher who I still obviously very much admire. And I was sitting at a table at a Meet the Expert luncheon today. And I just felt so invigorated by some of the conversations that I had with the next generation of researchers about how to define their lane, their passion, and how to continue to advance the field. Thank you, Ray, for sharing your key takeaways from the 2024 ASCO Quality Care Symposium and for leading a truly robust program this year. Dr. Raymond Osarogiagbon: Thank you, Fumiko. This has been a labor of love as you will find when you take on this responsibility for next year's meeting. This has been my pleasure. Dr. Fumiko Chino: Thank you so much. I'm really excited about the program that we're going to start planning in Chicago next year. Everyone listening can mark their calendars for October in Chicago. I really want to thank our listeners for your time today. You will find the links to the sessions and the abstracts that we discussed in the transcript of this episode.

In this episode, Dr. Fumiko Chino shares her inspiring journey from art director to oncologist, driven by her experience as a caregiver. She highlights the gap between ideal and actual cancer care by discussing a breast cancer imaging study where some patients with Stage 2 and 3 disease received scans to monitor for cancer. Dr. Chino goes into why “surveillance“ scans may or may not be beneficial, and clinicians must communicate this to their patients. She then stresses the importance of personalized communication and understanding patients' unique experiences in order to build trust. Dr. Chino also touches on why prioritizing physicians' well-being to prevent burnout matters. This episode was supported by the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) and features this study by Caprice C. Greenberg, MD, MPH. Key Highlights: There is a gap between intended care and actual care. The solution doesn't have to be so grand either; we can start at small acts of kindness and accessibility.  Communication with patients should be tailored to each individual, taking into account their unique experiences and perspectives.  There is often no singular right answer in cancer treatment, and the best plan for a patient may vary depending on their circumstances. Doctors should also prioritize their own well-being to prevent burnout and thus be able to provide better care to their patients. About our guest: Fumiko Chino, MD is a cancer researcher, Assistant Attending in Radiation Oncology, and Lead of the Affordability Working Group at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. She is also one of the Directors at the Costs of Care group, a NGO working to improve affordability in healthcare and the recipient of the inaugural 2022 ASCO Excellence in Equity Award. Her research is focused on financial toxicity, gaps in survivorship, health care disparities, and access; she has spoken across the US and internationally on equity and the costs of care. Key Moments: 14:00 “I deliver care in the United States, one of, if not the wealthiest countries, certainly a country of privilege where we have every bell and whistle, and yet not everyone can access those bells and whistles. Not everyone has the capacity for receiving the highest quality of care. And even when I am able to offer the best, every bell and whistle delivered to the person and their capacity to receive it can be quite variable, right? Access, affordability, these are all like large barriers.You know, one of my most well-lauded studies is on parking costs, which is quite frankly like a really stupid thing to study. Like, why would parking be a barrier to anyone? It's parking. . But what's truly insulting is that people who actually can't get the care that they really need in the facility that would probably serve them best because of a silly barrier like parking.” 53:31 “Just realizing that what is the right plan for this person is probably not the right plan for this other person, and understanding that coming to that conclusion together, trying to figure out again, sussing out, even if it's the small tailored things of like, ‘What can we do to make this easier for you?' It's not one size fits all. It's really, or it shouldn't be, how about that?” Visit the Manta Cares website --  Disclaimer: This podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

Listen to ASCO's Journal of Clinical Oncology essay, “Pet Therapy: How the Cat I Never Wanted Saved My Life” by Dr. Fumiko Chino, Radiation Oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.. The essay is followed by an interview with Chino and host Dr. Lidia Schapira. Chino describes how she became an unlikely cat owner and how her "pet therapy" allowed her to move forward with life as a widow. TRANSCRIPT Narrator: Pet Therapy: How the Cat I Never Wanted Saved My Life, by Fumiko Chino  My husband and I adopted our cat, Franklin, on a cold November day. It was one of the last days that Andrew felt well enough to leave the house to go anywhere other than to chemotherapy or a doctor's appointment. Our news at these appointments had shifted toward the negative, with disease progression on scans, low blood counts, and fluid accumulating in places it shouldn't be. After a year of aggressive treatment, his body was tiring out, and treatment options were becoming limited. Andrew had always wanted a cat, but I was resistant; I knew that I would be taking care of both of them and wasn't sure that I was ready. At a certain point, though, if your dying husband wants a cat … you get a cat, right? Franklin was a rescue—a scrappy orange boy with stripy legs and a spotted belly. He played with my husband's oxygen tubing, batting the plastic back and forth. He adapted quickly and would sit in Andrew's lap in a warm furry ball, signaling his comfort with loud, full-throated purrs. He would play fetch with my husband, who often wasn't strong enough to leave the bed. There was a large bowl of wrapped candy in the living room, and Franklin would bring one to the bed. Andrew would throw it from his propped-up perch in the bed; if the angle was perfect, he could fling it from the bedroom, through the slight zig-zag of the hallway, and into the large open living room. Franklin would race off to chase the candy and then trot back to deposit it one more time in Andrew's lap. They could do this for hours, it seemed, until one of them tired and then they would nap. They both napped a lot. After Andrew died in March, it was hard to keep a schedule. Days and nights would drift into each other; it was the gray days of late winter before spring showed any promise of life. Franklin was my constant companion and followed me around the house, sitting in the living room to watch a movie or on a kitchen chair to stare at my meals, even into the bathroom. He slept at the foot of the bed and woke me up in the morning to feed him; he made it hard to sleep in all day and forced me to keep at least a semiregular schedule. I walked everywhere, trying to make simple tasks last all day; walking to get Franklin's food from the pet store was a triumph of activity. We did, of course, take a lot of naps; sleep was an easy escape from my purposeless existence. He would fit his furry warmth in the crook of my knees or sprawl across my lap, mitigating the cold emptiness of a lonely day. He was a living presence when all I could see around me was death. Grieving is no simple process but, with time, I was able to return to some semblance of a normal life. I found focus in singular steps: researching school options, studying for the MCAT, interviewing for and ultimately entering medical school. One step at time (one application, one class, one shelf) is how I progressed from grieving widow to oncologist. Franklin would sit on the kitchen table where I worked, putting his paw occasionally on my papers or resting his chin on the warm edge of my laptop. He kept me company through grueling hours of studying and welcomed me home from the hospital at all hours of the night, greeting me with a small noise halfway between a squeak and a meow. Franklin was a welcome constant as I reinvented myself as a physician, a comforting touchstone as I shed my former life as an artist and wife and gained new footing as a clinician and researcher. I am now in my first year as an attending physician in a world-leading cancer center; Franklin has moved with me to a glorious, light-filled apartment in New York City. Looking back over the decade since Andrew died, I know that Franklin was the last gift that he gave me. I was so depressed and lonely; I don't think I could have survived that first dark winter without his presence, much less made it through medical school and residency. That's the thing about pets; you care for them, but they also care for you. Franklin provided that extra layer of support that allowed a desperate present to turn into a hopeful future. When I meet with patients and families struggling through treatment now, I try to highlight these simple support goals: physical company, a routine, love and warmth. We talk about who is available to help and what comfort they can provide. And for those struggling alone, I sometimes recommend they consider a trip to the animal rescue. I tell them, they may find that they get rescued too. I know I did. I moved out of that first house a couple of months after Andrew died. It was too big for just a lady and her cat. When I pushed our bed out from against the wall, I discovered a small pile of candy that had slipped behind his pillow down the back side of the bed. After he was gone, Franklin had continued to bring candy to my husband's side of the bed and it had been piling up. I sat down on the floor of our big, empty house and cried big, ugly tears while staring at that stale candy. Then, like a gift, Franklin came over and sat in my lap, a small, warm presence, purring.

I'm your host, Dr. Lidia Schapira. I'm an Associate Editor for Art of Oncology for JCO and a Professor of Medicine at Stanford University.  Today we are joined by Dr. Fumiko Chino, a Radiation Oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. In this episode, we will be discussing her Art of Oncology article, "Pet Therapy: How the Cat I Never Wanted Saved My Life."  At the time of this recording, our guest has no disclosures.  Fumiko, welcome to our podcast, and thank you for joining us. Dr. Fumiko Chino: Thank you so much for having me. I'm happy to be here to talk about my pet Franklin, but also to talk about how our animals care for us just as much as we care for them. Dr. Lidia Schapira: That's a beautiful thought. Let me first start by just expressing my sincere condolence over the loss of your husband. We have met so many times at medical meetings and have had a chance to talk about work, but this is really personal, so I just wanted to start our conversation by acknowledging that very important part. Dr. Fumiko Chino: Thank you. I think a lot of us are drawn to the field of oncology for one reason or another. Sometimes we're anchored by the experiences of our friends or our family members, or that one patient that you couldn't get out of your head in medical school. Mine, obviously, I think, started a little earlier than most with my husband's death, and it kind of drew me kicking and screaming into medicine and then into oncology. But against my sort of better angels, I ended up in oncology. The roots of this tree are strong, basically. Dr. Lidia Schapira: So let's talk a little bit about that and the experience of being a care partner, a caregiver, a caretaker. As a very young woman, I think you were an artist at the time, not in medical school. Can you bear to share with us a little bit about that part of your life, those years or months? Dr. Fumiko Chino: Sure. So I always say that caregivers are kind of the unpaid glue that keeps the US healthcare system together, functioning, working. And the caregiver experience and the burdens that caregivers have are sort of just barely being explored now within research. And I can certainly tell from my own personal experience that being a young caregiver was very challenging. My husband and I were both in our 20s. We were trying to establish our careers. We had a significant battle about his health insurance, which is a very common problem for young people. And even after he died from cancer, I actually was uninsured because I was on his health insurance. So it's hilarious for me now as a researcher who does research on access and equity and insurance that I myself was uninsured for, I think, about two years, actually.  But those burdens of caregiving, they're sort of physical exhaustion, they're mental exhaustion, but they're also emotional exhaustion. And it's sort of all of the above, all hands on deck when someone you love is sick. And I think it's part of when I shift into research mode or patient centered care mode, I always try to think about the complete picture for the person in front of me, which is also their spouse, their parent, their sister, sometimes their friend, who are also, I think, part of the journey of cancer, but often sort of unacknowledged. Dr. Lidia Schapira: Let's talk a little bit about that, the sort of the emotional side of caregiving. Yes, you talk about burdens and exhaustions, but what I read in your essay is also about the love and connection that you experienced during your husband's illness with him. And then this third party, the story is this adorable cat. Can you talk a little bit about that? All of the positive side, not the burdens of caretaking and caregiving, but the love and connection. Dr. Fumiko Chino: It's sort of shocking when you go through something critical together, how much that bonds you, how much it deepens your connection and your capacity for communicating effectively and making hard decisions. I always say my husband and I were only married for a year, essentially before he died. But it's like dog years. One year of cancer is sort of like seven normal people years. And so we had so much love and humor and insider jokes going through the experience. It's certainly never recommended for anyone. But I will say that it made me realize how much I did love my husband, how deeply connected we were.  And then this introduction of a small, fuzzy animal was something that I never realized that would make a difference for me personally, but that would carry me forward through my husband's illness and his death and kind of help me become the full me that I didn't even know I was supposed to be at the time we adopted Franklin. And then again, the love that we had together, our little tiny family unit, a cancer patient, a cancer caregiver, and a rescue cat. We were quite a cohort for as long as we lasted. Dr. Lidia Schapira: And the other incredible theme that emerges from your essay is the grief and the deep, deep grief that you experienced. How long did it take and how did you manage to climb out of that? Dr. Fumiko Chino: I mean, I'm still grieving, right? So that's the thing about grief, is that it changed shape and color, but it never really goes away. There's this phrase, time heals all wounds, and that's certainly not true. I think that the wound is different. It's not quite as raw, but I'm still grieving. But in terms of pulling myself out of the deep depression that I was in, it was years. I'll be honest. I was sort of groundless. I had no purpose. I feel this sometimes as an oncologist too, which is we feel that when our patient dies that we failed. I only had one job. It was to keep my husband alive, and I didn't do it. And so it took a long time to kind of rebuild myself and my personality when I had quit my job to take care of him. So it really was my only purpose. And then when that went away, it took a long time.  It's interesting to be on the other side of it now and to sort of think about, well, what are the lessons I can take away from that? To try to practice for myself truly patient centered care and to think  about everything that our patients and their caregivers really need to continue on because it's not an easy thing. Dr. Lidia Schapira: Let me just say this and that is that it is absolutely amazing that you have constructed sort of a professional persona from this experience, but it's also your experience and your story. And what I'm so deeply moved by and a little curious about is you're taking it to a story and bringing the narrative side to your professional community. It's not as if you wrote a story or journaled about this and shared it with your friends and family. You actually made yourself vulnerable in a way. And I just want to pick up on that a little bit more because clearly from where I sit, this makes a huge contribution to the discourse in oncology as well, to acknowledge the personal side, the emotional side, and make it a story. And so with that, I just wanted to ask you this. How long did it take or what was the process for this series of experiences that are so intense and emotional to become a story and something you could write? Dr. Fumiko Chino: That is such a good question. I will be honest to say that I didn't tell any stories at all about my husband having cancer until long after I decided to become an oncologist. And it was only when I was doing the research that I was doing in financial toxicity where I realized that story could make the message of the research more powerful. I knew always why I was doing the research. But having that deeply rooted, personal, let's be honest, terrible story, it could make it more meaningful, it could make it more understandable for people who hadn't personally experienced it. And so I think, similarly, realizing that the larger story of love and loss and of caregiving but also of how these funny things like pets that can make a difference for individuals and families, to develop that into a story that you could tell, again, a decade, to think about how that could turn around essentially into something that is not just a feeling, but is words and paragraphs.  Dr. Lidia Schapira: Yes. And it was obvious to me when I first read it, the beauty of the position that I have as an editor is that I'm the first reader, is that I felt that I felt the enormous amount of years that went into processing these feelings and then how skillfully you introduce the humor and through the character of the cat. And the cat going to fetch the candy wrappers and bringing them back. I mean, it's beautiful. One of the things Fumiko that I've so admired also about your work is your advocacy, your advocacy for trainees, your advocacy for inclusion and diversity, and your advocacy for pets. Tell us a little bit about how those strong commitments you have to bring people up and to sort of change things for the better are also deeply rooted in your lived experience. Dr. Fumiko Chino: I have in my life been incredibly privileged. I know this deeply. And I know that even the turning of round of my life from being a grieving cancer widow into being a physician today is deeply rooted in my privilege, from being from a medical family, from being from an educated family, from being from a family where everyone was expected to go to college and succeed in one way or the other. And so realizing that not everyone has that privilege of being able to overcome these obstacles because it's just a pile on. I think sometimes being able to provide that sponsorship and mentorship for other people has been just a strong pillar of my personal mandate for the physician that I wanted to be, for the researcher that I wanted to be. It's rooted from the fact that there's been some bad things that happened in my life, obviously, but my capacity for moving forward and reinventing myself is deeply rooted in my own privilege. Dr. Lidia Schapira: To bring this short conversation to a close, I wonder if you can reflect a little bit on the role of art. I mean, every time I just see you, I think of art. There's a sort of an artistic aura about you, just the way you accessorize yourself and how you present yourself and all of the images that you choose to post. It's a very deliberate image. So tell us a little bit about both visual art but also stories and how you feel in your role as an academic oncologist they can humanize our culture, they can inspire, they can help, they can even inform research questions. I'd love to hear your thoughts about that. Dr. Fumiko Chino: Whenever I was in high school, I had these two great loves, and they were science and they were art. And unfortunately, I think I grew up in an era where you really did have to go one way or the other. And so for me, I chose art. And so I had a Bachelor's of Fine Arts. I was immersed deeply in the art world as a young adult and as a growing faculty. It was only cancer that kind of brought me into the science again. But having been immersed in art for so long, when I transitioned over to the more medical school residency, now as an attending, I never wanted to leave the art behind because it so deeply informs how we view the world. And I think that perspective, that shift that comes with looking at a new piece of art, it makes us all stronger observers and, I think, stronger communicators.  And we all approach art very differently. The example I'll give is that my husband was really into jazz, and I hate free jazz. It just drives me insane. Because for me, my question always is for a piece of art - so in this case, free jazz - what are they trying to communicate to me? And he said, “Well, that's not how I take it. I say, how would it feel to make this music? It's the actual mechanics of making the music and absorbing the music.” And that's how he interpreted that form of art. And I was just always like, “Oh, but I don't get what are they trying to tell me?” And I think that is also just incredibly amazing, that art communicates different things to different people. And it reminds me to take a break and to say, you know what, I feel so steadfast in my opinion that this is the right way of doing something and it could be that someone is going to take it in a totally different direction. Dr. Lidia Schapira: Let's end on a note on Franklin. Is Franklin still with you? Dr. Fumiko Chino: So I was happy to be recording this podcast now. So Franklin died last month.  Dr. Lidia Schapira: I'm so sorry. He died in my home with a home hospice vet. And it was really beautiful. It was exactly what I would want for myself if and when I go, to be surrounded by love and comfort. He was with me for 17 years. Obviously, got me through a lot. And it was a message to me how we could be doing better for our patients as well. He did have cancer, and he had cancer that was rapidly growing. And so that way of putting a bookend in our experiences with cancer, I feel like it was the last message that he gave me that that's the gift I could give to him. Dr. Lidia Schapira: Well, take care of yourself, please. Again, my condolences on losing Franklin. Thank you for your openness and for your willingness to share. So we are so fortunate to have you in our ranks. I'm very glad that you're doing what you're doing. Dr. Fumiko Chino: I appreciate the time to talk to you again. This message about a silly cat and his human, I think, certainly it's my story, but I know that many of our patients also have this deep connection with their animals and it really does carry them through some very dark nights.  Dr. Lidia Schapira: So until next time and thank you for joining me today in this very moving interview.

It's all Canadian content today on I Love This You Should Too! Maybe now we'll qualify for a grant or something. First, Indy recommends the wild, and at times insightful antics of Kenny Vs. Spenny, then Samantha recounts the heartbreaking true story of Hana's Suitcase, and finally we introduce next week's feature, The Changeling! The Changeling on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zm4rZJozMJc&t=3007s&ab_channel=KingsofHorror Kenny vs. Spenny is a Canadian reality comedy television series starring Kenny Hotz and Spencer Rice, where they compete against each other in competitions. The loser of each episode performs an act of humiliation, usually selected by the winner. Hotz and Rice created the series in addition to serving as executive producers, and it was typically shot in their hometown of Toronto (the pilot was filmed in Los Angeles), based mostly out of the house they shared. As of November 2008, the show aired on CBC, Global and Showcase in Canada, Comedy Central in Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands, The Comedy Channel in Australia, Animax and later, Sony MAX, in South Africa, Italia 2 in Italy, FX in Portugal, on Jim in Finland. The series concluded with an hour-long Christmas special that aired on December 23, 2010, at 9 pm ET/PT on Showcase. Kenny Vs. Spenny, Who Can Wear A Dead Octopus On Their Head The Longest?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKea6zC5D74&ab_channel=KennyHotz Hana's Suitcase: https://www.hanassuitcase.ca/ Hana's Suitcase is the extraordinary true story that brings the history of the Holocaust to life for young readers. In March 2000, a suitcase arrived at a children's Holocaust education center in Tokyo, Japan from the Auschwitz museum in Germany. Fumiko Ishioka, the center's curator, was captivated by the writing on the outside that identified its owner: "Hana Brady, May 16, 1931, Waisenkind (the German word for orphan)." Children visiting the center were full of questions. Who was Hana Brady? What happened to her? Inspired by their curiosity, Fumiko began a year of detective work, scouring the world for clues. Writer Karen Levine follows Fumiko in her search through history, from present-day Japan, Europe and North America back to 1938 Czechoslovakia to learn the story of Hana Brady, a fun-loving child with wonderful parents, a protective big brother, and a passion for ice skating, their happy life turned upside down by the invasion of the Nazis. The book has been adapted as a play by Emil Sher and made into a documentary film.

Fumiko grew up in a tiny city outside Kyoto. And 

Annemieke Bosman in gesprek met Fumiko Miura over haar boek Polderjapanner. Fumiko Miura (1972) werd geboren in Shinshiro in Japan en studeerde sociologie aan de Erasmus Universiteit. Ze woont sinds 2001 in Rotterdam, waar ze werkzaam is als leraar Japans. Polderjapanner is haar eerste boek.  Polderjapanner Fumiko Miura verhuisde meer dan twintig jaar geleden van Japan naar Nederland. Er waren veel dingen waarover ze zich verbaasde toen ze hier pas woonde, niet in de laatste plaats als het om eten gaat. Je kunt maar drie keer per dag genieten van eten, en dan kies je twee keer voor brood met kaas? vroeg ze zich vertwijfeld af. Maar er is natuurlijk meer waar ze zich toe moest verhouden toen ze zich in Nederland vestigde, zoals het leren van de Nederlandse taal, de Nederlandse omgang met migranten en tal van clichés die in het westen over Japan de ronde doen. Van de polonaise tot de inburgeringscursus, van haar verslaving aan de onovertroffen patat van Bram Ladage tot de inburgering van sushi in Nederland, van deeltijdwerken tot karoushi, dood door overwerk: Polderjapanner is een buitengemeen aanstekelijk boek over de verschillen en overeenkomsten tussen Nederland en Japan.

Dr. Fumiko Chino, Dr. Anna Lee, and Dr. Erin Gillespie discuss the survey's findings and share their own insights and experiences as female oncologists. TRANSCRIPT Dr. Fumiko Chino: Hello, I am Dr. Fumiko Chino, a radiation oncologist and health equity researcher at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and the guest host of the ASCO Daily News podcast today. In today's episode, we'll explore gender equity within the oncology workforce. Our discussion is centered on a newly published article in JAMA Network Open. This national survey of over 1,000 female oncologists found that 95% considered their career when planning a family, and about one-third faced fertility concerns when trying to become pregnant. Additional findings include that one-third faced discrimination during pregnancy and/or maternity leaves. Joining me for this discussion are study team members Dr. Anna Lee, an assistant professor in radiation oncology at the University of Texas, MD Anderson Cancer Center, and Dr. Erin Gillespie, an associate professor in radiation oncology at the University of Washington and a member of the Hutchinson's Institute for Cancer Outcomes Research. Our full disclosures are available in the transcript for this episode, and disclosures relating to all episodes of the ASCO Daily News podcast are available on our transcripts at asco.orgpodcasts. We have all agreed to go by our first names today. Anna and Erin, it's great to have you on the podcast today. Dr. Anna Lee: Thank you, excited to be here. Dr. Erin Gillespie: Yeah, thanks so much, Fumiko. Dr. Fumiko Chino: Well, I'm hoping to just dive right in to talk about this study, which I was proud to be on the authorship team with both of you. I just want to give a little bit of setup about how this study started, which was essentially within our own group of junior female faculty. We have semi-regular meetings, and this idea for the study actually came up at a picnic for some young female faculty members. That then led to a small survey that I did on a Facebook group of young female oncologists and then, ultimately, to the national survey. So, Anna, do you mind telling me just a little bit about your research background and why this topic is important to you? Dr. Anna Lee: Yeah. So, when I was a resident along with my co-resident Virginia Osborn, we helped co-found a group called the Society for Women in Radiation Oncology, or SWRO. We were able to bring a group of women in our field who were interested in looking at the experiences of female radiation oncologists, both starting at the residency, the training level, but also into practice. And we had generated an initial survey looking at women's experience, and they found that even though the majority, almost 95% of women, felt like radiation oncology was a family-friendly field, only about half of the group actually felt that it was after their lived experiences. So, this kind of led me to being interested in participating in the development of this study. And personally, I have been going through the fertility journey myself. My partner and I got married last year and, you know, you think that for so long you put an effort into something and get a result and just how I did in academics or in terms of my career aspirations, you think that it'd be very straightforward, but it's been more of a challenge than I expected, and we are going through the whole workup process and considering our options. So this is a study that is of personal interest to me. Dr. Fumiko Chino: Thank you so much for sharing that. And Erin, do you mind just sharing a little bit about your background and why this topic is important for you? Dr. Erin Gillespie: My research really focuses on access to high-quality, patient-centered care. I'm from Anchorage, Alaska, so this idea of variation in quality and differences in care people receive has been central. And one thing that I've noticed over time is that the physician workforce has such an important—and physicians, in general, in oncology—have really big impacts on the care that patients receive. And in radiation oncology, we've seen for many decades now that we have only about 30% of our workforce is women. And to Anna's point, why is that? And I think this study sort of gets at some of the challenges that women may be foreseeing in entering an oncology career. For me personally, I started my first faculty position in my mid-30s. And it being a small field, I've moved around every few years from the best academic medical school to residency to a faculty position. And you know, in my mid-30s, I wasn't in a stable, long-term relationship, so I, as you were describing, went through the fertility preservation process and got to be fortunate to have a group of junior women faculty, like you, Fumiko, who would actually share and discuss. And it was in New York where all these discussions came to light, and in the actual fertility clinic, where you realize there's a lot of other career-oriented women with the same experiences. And so, how does this general phenomenon potentially impact us in oncology and downstream are patients who—there have done some studies that gender and sex sort of concordance between patients and providers can impact the types of treatments that people are receiving, so I think it's very important. Thanks for inviting me. Dr. Fumiko Chino: Yeah, I think that you bring up a really important point, which is that essentially when we think about equity issues, we're not just talking about access to high-quality care for patients, we're also talking about equity within our fields and within the workforce. And this concept of fertility research and gender equity within oncology, I think is, thankfully, rising in importance. And so, I was so happy to be able to be part of this study that looks at it. But, I guess, my next question is, what are the real barriers to doing this type of research, and what are the barriers to actually improving gender discrimination like what this study shows? Anna, do you want to take that first? Dr. Anna Lee: Yeah, sure. Well, there's certainly a strong amount of shame and stigma that comes along with infertility. Even being able to open up about it and share with your colleagues and go through a process that's very personal while you're working, but it kind of bleeds into or affects your day-to-day work life. So, that culture and that inability to be open about it I think is really making it difficult for people to share and discuss it publicly, and also, I think that there's some level of perception that this should not be discussed in an academic environment. But the reality is that even our survey study showed that women certainly thought about their career when it came to family planning. And so the more we discuss it, the more that we normalize this kind of conversation, it will bring to light how women are being affected by their careers. And also, I think that with our survey being completely anonymous, it was able to be an avenue for women to be able to share their experiences too. Dr. Fumiko Chino: Yeah, I know certainly I feel very privileged to have been at a large institution that really did have a very active and engaged group of young female faculty where I felt like almost protected by just numbers, for lack of a better term, and for us to be able to share our experience. Now, Erin, have you noticed anything in terms of, for example, the motherhood penalty on career or productivity in terms of the capacity for even getting the optimal position for yourself? You mentioned a little bit about your own experiences coming from a small area in Alaska and how that really made you have to hustle hard for optimal career outcomes. Dr. Erin Gillespie: I guess like when I think about—to Anna's point earlier, just having open discussion with people in the field, and like you said, being in New York, a fairly progressive environment and women are more open about these things early on, was definitely helpful. What I've heard of a lot of people beyond the career-driven nature, and you know, there was this article from The New York Times several years ago that I remember talked about women that had kids between 25 and 35, never were able to catch up to their peers because those are kind of the really critical career development phase and like really establishing yourself and your independence, which always kind of sat with me and I always justified it. It's just like, "Well, I guess the fact that I'm getting to these things later may have career benefits because I'm not actually ready to go through all these things in residency." And then, the other thing I've heard people talk a lot about in radiation oncology was the extensive oral boards, which just further—we do five years of radiation oncology and then there's another couple years, can be a couple of years of very intense studying and passing exams that used to be even more strictly timed. And so, people were literally delaying family planning in order to make sure that their jobs as a clinical radiation oncologist was safe and protected, and they could flourish in what they've spent their life working on. So, I do think, back to Anna's point, that just starting these conversations and engaging the board of radiology on how to actually accommodate women, a lot of it comes down to accommodations to encourage gender equity. Dr. Fumiko Chino: You know, one thing that was quite striking in our survey was just about essentially what people had to sacrifice in order to actually have kids, and this sort of patchwork formal paid family leave, and the fact that we really don't have a good national policy, and it's just very state- and institution-driven. And I know that Anna and Erin, you both actually each moved institutions within the last couple of years, moving from New York, which, as previously stated, is a pretty liberal state to your current institutions. So, I was just wondering if either of you could speak about how even the fact that we don't have a national policy in this patchwork leaves women sort of at the whims, in terms of planning their career and their family planning, at the whims of wherever they end up. Anna, I know you did a little bit more background research on this, do you want to take that first? Dr. Anna Lee: Yeah. Actually, when I moved out of New York to Texas, unlike New York where they have, I believe, it's a statewide policy for maternity leave paid, and we don't have anything like that here. But also, our insurance policy initially didn't cover OSI preservation or IVF. Recently, they do now cover that. So, I've been able to breathe a sigh of relief in knowing that I can start my journey in exploring these options and knowing that my institution supports me in that way by having that coverage. So, definitely having institutional buy-in allows us to have more freedom and flexibility and feel the relief in knowing that, "Okay, I can prioritize both my career and my personal life, and be able to support both, and have my career also support that part of my life." Dr. Fumiko Chino: Erin, anything to add for that? Again, I know that you just moved institutions. Dr. Erin Gillespie: Yeah. You know, it's interesting. When I was looking, my husband and I were actually not living in the same city. So, as we became pregnant, the desire to be in the same place became more real. But thinking about changing institutions was complicated, and ultimately, the state laws—you know, so, we learned about multiple states, and having state laws is helpful, although FMLA requires you to be in a place for usually about a year in order to qualify for any of the state benefits. And so, what I ended up finding was that the institutions ultimately still played a huge role in determining if you wanted to change your career, that it was up to the institution to really support a maternity leave situation. So, while I think that the state can set like some general guidance that probably helps the culture, ultimately, institutions play a huge role. I was actually just talking to one of my co-residents from UC San Diego, who is in a private practice in Anchorage, and he was asking me, "Are there any general guidelines in family leave for radiation oncology? Have you seen anything to help institutions, large or small, really establish best practices?" And I referred him to SWRO because I said if anybody knows of anything that's been drafted, it would be your organization. But I honestly don't think that there is anything, and I think that is a room for improvement. Dr. Fumiko Chino: That really segues into our next topic, which is how do we really advocate for ourselves and our colleagues to improve the status quo? Because as it stands, it's phenomenal that we have landed in places that have both the insurance and the policy coverage for maternity leave and for fertility concerns, but I think a lot of our colleagues aren't so lucky. Anna, do you want to take that first? Dr. Anna Lee: Yeah. I think when it's available, both men and women should take family leave or paternal leave. Taking leave when either sex has a child, it kind of normalizes the fact that child care should be an equal distribution of work, and also that we need to value both men and women being at home to take care of the first few months of a child's life. So, once we have that, I think that when you improve the culture of an organization, it can automatically help support the institutional buy-in as well. Dr. Fumiko Chino: Yeah, that whole “he for she,” and it's hilarious to think that just men taking paternity leave when allowed really does—number one, they have more bonding with their new baby, but also, it makes it normal that everyone is taking leave because that seems appropriate, what's best for the family and also what's best for the individual person to actually have that time with their child. Erin, additional thoughts in terms of how do we advocate for ourselves? Dr. Erin Gillespie: Yeah. To that point, I will say I really applaud Memorial Sloan Kettering for having people like Sean McBride in our leadership that were young enough to really advocate for having paternal leave in addition to maternal leave and making that something that the junior faculty were like, you know, it's not just something that's possible, but should be expected. And so, I see an opportunity for institutions to really give leadership opportunities to kind of these junior, mid-level faculty that really can have a cultural influence on how people—not that every man in our department has taken that leave, certainly, but I feel like there is this need to change the culture because until men are actually taking significant leave, there is still this disparity. Dr. Fumiko Chino: You know, I have to reflect kind of on my own role models. My mother had 5 kids in 6 years, as being a physician, a radiation oncologist. And in my mind now, as someone who is a radiation oncologist who has zero kids, I have no idea how she did it. I feel like it was so challenging for me to just build the career that I have. So, I was just wondering, are there people that you can look to as role models? I think, honestly, Erin, you said Sean McBride, as you know, an active and engaged father, who is very open and speaks frequently of his, you know, daddy duties. Again, it's hilarious that I'm pointing to Sean as a role model, but he really is. I mean, that's part of his persona. Anna, do you have role models in terms of thinking about how to have that delicate balance in this idea of like you could have it all? Dr. Anna Lee: Fortunately, I have so many peer mentors, and friends, and people in the field going back to residency, seeing my co-resident, Virginia Osborn, going through training, having 2—she had 2 kids during training, and then, you know, seeing even faculty here having children early in their mid-career, just being able to balance everything, and making sure that they really understand the policies of the institution so that they're taking what they can in terms of their leave and their benefits. So, I think that they're showing me that we don't need to be apologetic about taking leave. We don't need to necessarily ask our colleagues or be apologetic to our colleagues or to our institution for taking leave because it's a part of our life, it's a part of our fabric, in terms of being able to have children and raise them. And if that's something that one wants in their personal life, I feel like it's something that is, obviously, going to affect both their careers, but the career will affect their personal life, and being able to achieve both of those is something that we can all strive to help each other. Dr. Fumiko Chino: Yeah, absolutely. And I think, honestly, it's great to have role models and people who are, you know, working to make the environment better in terms of gender equity. I think one of the most surprising findings from this study was that, actually, there was a minority of women who actually felt discrimination during pregnancy and maternity leave that actually came exclusively from other women. Erin, do you have any comment on that? Is that reflective of anything that you've seen? Dr. Erin Gillespie: Yeah. This issue of there is still ongoing challenges of the idea that women discriminate as much or more against women. When I look back on my own mentorship, I've actually had mostly strong male mentors, and they were as family-oriented and work-life balance. I mean, Jim Murphy, as a resident, and then Justin Bekelman, as a faculty member. They've always been very imperative that your personal life is a high priority and that you don't necessarily sacrifice that. And to do that, you have to be smart about the commitments that you make and how you balance these things. But despite that, one of my mentors recently said, you know—and men can give great advice, and they can certainly advocate, and I think it's critical that they provide that. But one of my mentors recently said, "Ultimately, as you enter this new phase of being a mother, you need to find really close, strong, women mentors that have actually been through this because their experience is just not the same. As much as we can talk the talk, there is still a fundamental difference, and mentorship on both sides is critical." Dr. Fumiko Chino: Absolutely. Wrapping up this podcast, do you have any other final thoughts, either Erin or Anna, about our findings on how we can continue to make sure we're making improvements for ourselves but also for the field? Dr. Anna Lee: I am encouraged, though, that I think we're seeing incremental improvements in our field. You know, I can't speak on all of oncology, but in radiation oncology, even the timing is more flexible. We're able to be boarded through Zoom, and we don't have to travel to a single site. So, I think that we are seeing incremental improvements and there's a lot of, now with both the Society for Women in Radiation Oncology, but we have Radiation Oncology Women Physicians' Group, we have different groups that are advocating and making sure that our voices are heard and that, you know, our voices also are translating into policy level changes. And so, we still don't have national level, or I don't think we have blanket society-level recommendations for maternity leave that we can refer to, and I don't think all institutions are adopting them universally, but I think that there's a growing course and a growing movement of people kind of advocating for that, and we're inching towards that slowly, but surely. Dr. Erin Gillespie: Yeah. And I think that to that point, just the thing that I've tried to change in my own practice has been to normalize the conversation because going back to what I said, moving to New York, it was a normal conversation that you talked about these things, which hadn't been the case before. And so, you know, with my medical students, residents, I'm very open about what are some challenges, but what are the solutions and how do you balance these things, so that they feel like this doesn't have to be something that you suffer, or think, or worry about without there being people to talk to. Dr. Fumiko Chino: No, I think that was a really true concept and the idea of like—I know when I was on my interview surge, I was told, “Don't ask about the maternity leave because future employers are going think that you're trying to get everything out of them.” But the idea that we shouldn't even ask about it, it seems insane, so I'm glad we're moving forward. I want to thank you both, Dr. Anna Lee and Dr. Erin Gillespie, for sharing your valuable insights with us today and for your dedication to addressing gender equity issues and oncology.

Eccoci con una nuova puntata delle "Pillole di letteratura giapponese" con NipPop! La nostra Paola Scrolavezza oggi ci parla di "Maschere di donna", in giapponese “Onnamen”, di Enchi Fumiko, pubblicato in Italia nel 2001 da Marsilio nella traduzione di Graziana Canova Tura e con la bellissima prefazione di Maria Teresa Orsi. Abbiamo spesso parlato di quest'autrice, una delle più grandi scrittrici del Novecento, e questo suo romanzo è forse la sua opera più famosa. Si tratta di un testo capace di intrattenere un rapporto stretto e profondo sia con l'epoca contemporanea, nel quale è ambientato, che con la tradizione e la letteratura classica, grazie ai continui riferimenti al "Genji monogatari" e al teatro nō. Sono proprio le maschere di donna del teatro nō, il teatro classico per eccellenza, a dare il nome ai tre capitoli del romanzo e a guidarci nel flusso narrativo che segue in particolare l'evoluzione emotiva della protagonista Toganoo Mieko, profondamente legata a Rokujō, una delle figure femminili più amate e più celebri del "Genji monogatari". Un personaggio che domina le pagine del romanzo così come domina ogni altro personaggio che ruota intorno alla sua storia. Una donna che si lascia guidare dal suo desiderio di vendetta e che racchiude dentro di sé una grande sofferenza, come fosse un segreto inconfessabile. Un'opera che nonostante i suoi anni ha ancora tanto da dire e che conserva quindi una grande attualità. Enchi Fumiko va a toccare i nodi più profondi della vita delle donne, costrette al silenzio della società, senza la possibilità di esprimere il proprio malessere. Una storia toccante di relazioni, sentimenti, amore, gelosia, follia e sofferenza. ----------------------------------- SEGUICI SU: - Web Page: https://www.nippop.it - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nippopbologna - Twitter: https://twitter.com/NipPopOfficial - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nippopofficial - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/nippopbologna

Bentornati in questa nuova puntata delle "Pillole di letterature giapponese" con NipPop. Oggi la nostra Paola Scrolavezza ci accompagna all'interno di "Onnazaka", opera di Enchi Fumiko, edita da Safarà Editore nel 2017 nella traduzione di Lydia Origlia. Torniamo quindi a parlare di un'autrice fra le più importanti nel panorama della letteratura giapponese, e di cui ci eravamo occupati già in uno dei primi episodi di questa serie ("Namamiko. L'inganno delle sciamane"). Come altri romanzi di Enchi Fumiko, anche "Onnazaka" ha uno stretto rapporto con la classicità, ma in un modo leggermente diverso. Infatti, i riferimenti più espliciti non sono all'epoca classica per antonomasia, cioè all'epoca Heian, ma sono invece all'epoca Tokugawa, colta nel momento in cui si conclude e trascolora nell'epoca Meiji. Siamo quindi in un momento di profonda trasformazione, a livello sia politico che sociale, ma la vita all'interno della residenza di Fukushima dove vive Tomo, la protagonista, sembra rimanere inattaccata, intonsa rispetto alle trasformazioni che si verificano all'esterno. Una storia affascinante, una storia dolente, piena di figure femminili che rimangono impresse profondamente nell'animo del lettore. Sono infatti le donne a essere al centro della narrazione, in tutte le loro sfaccettature, tratteggiate in modo magistrale dall'autrice. ----------------------------------- SEGUICI SU: - Web Page: https://www.nippop.it - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nippopbologna - Twitter: https://twitter.com/NipPopOfficial - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nippopofficial - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/nippopbologna

This episode features our conversation with radiation oncologist Dr. Fumiko Chino. Hsien and Fumiko discuss her personal story with bankruptcy and healthcare, her research on financial toxicity and how you can avoid it, as well as grief, art and good communication in medicine.   For more information visit: waitingroomrevolution.com   Our theme song is Maypole by Ketsa and is licensed under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0    

Fumiko Chino, MD is a cancer researcher and Assistant Attending in Radiation Oncology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. She was also a caregiver for her husband Andrew Mark Ladd, PhD who died from cancer in 2007. Fumiko joins How We Got Here for a conversation about the many ways caregiving and loss shape and inspire us in our personal and professional lives. She talks about how caring for Andrew enriched her understanding of love and commitment. She also discusses the biggest challenge they faced — one that many families can relate to: the inability to keep up with the rising costs of medical care after a diagnosis (a phenomenon called financial toxicity). Fumiko explains how open conversations about care expenses can free us from the shame of not being able to afford care and make others more aware of our financial limitations. This season of How We Got Here is sponsored by Anthem.

"When I turned 30, I started buying expensive creams and started getting facials. And I felt almost like I was giving up my power over my own skin care, and I had to have somebody to do something for me.

If you're interested in the intersection of art and politics… consider these one-act plays! In Restless Night, two college students debate the virtues of creating art or abandoning it all to become a political activist -– both coming close to understanding each other, though not seeing eye to eye. A Hell of Her Own delves into similar questions: is rebellion more virtuous than being… well, virtuous? Women are at the center of these two beautiful, thoughtful slices of life – and both have the exact same breakdown of actors to make doubling easy.ExpandTheCanon.combit.ly/HedgepigMembershipsThis episode is hosted by Emily Lyon and Skye Pagon, and the scene is performed by Dorothea Gloria and Elizabeth Roberts.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/this-is-a-classic-the-expand-the-canon-theatre-podcast/donations

Transpacific Correspondences: Dispatches from Japan’s Black Studies, an essay collection edited by Dr. Yuichiro Onishi and Dr Fumiko Sakashita, introduces a little-known, but critical history of Black Studies in Japan.

The collection is interdisciplinary in nature, covering important topics that would be of great interest to political theorists, black feminist theorists, historians, and scholars of music and literature. Transpacific Correspondence is an important contribution to the history of Afro-Asian encounters and the globalized field of Black Studies.

Tomo, Buro, Kenshi, and Akari rode north toward Beiden Pass, and away from the Crab lands. One night while camping out on the Kuni Wastes, Akari confessed that she was feeling conflicted about the events which transpired with her father. She relented that the life of a samurai was full of contradictions, that a life of servitude to her family, her clan, and her emperor was wrought with complications and hypocrisies. After being comforted by the party, she vowed that she would follow her own path—not one ordained by a higher authority. She now wants to be free to decide her own fate.A couple days later, the party arrived in the town of Kuda Mura, which they found had been attacked multiple times by angry spirits from the north inhabiting the bodies of living stone and wood. When they attack, these spirits only repeat the same phrase, “you have broken the oath, now you must suffer.” After speaking with the kami for guidance, the party learned that these spirits are most likely referring to some oath made between the Hare Clan—a minor clan tasked with protecting a portion of the mystical Shinomen Forest—and the spirits of the forest.With this information, the party sought out the town governess, Kaiu Fumiko. Fumiko admitted that she hadn’t heard anything from the Hare Clan in nearly a month, but she didn’t know how that would have anything to do with the Crab Clan or why these spirits are now attacking Kuda Mura. The party insisted that they would need aid uncovering this mystery, and convinced Fumiko to send a few samurai with them to investigate Hare territory and the Shinomen Forest to the north.At that moment, the town was attacked by another one of these angry forest spirits, destroying a watchtower and an inn, and injuring numerous bystanders. While taking aim at the creature, Kaiu Tomo’s yumi snapped completely straight, breaking his bowstring, and refusing to bend against the marauding spirit. When this happened, Tomo noticed that the wood of his yumi and the bark skin of the creature appeared to be one in the same…With help from the samurai now guarding the town, the party eventually defeated the angry spirit, its stone and wood body returning to the earth. However, questions of how this supernatural wood came to port in Clear Water Village, what happened to the Hare Clan protecting the forest, and what does Tomo’s family have to do with it all still lingered...Credits:Album Art by Dylon MunozMusicRokugan Theme by Brandon SpainSultry silence by Podcast of the Five RingsDragon theme by Brandon SpainGives you anxiety by Podcast of the Five RingsSleepy little fishing town by Podcast of the Five RingsConniving and mysterious by Podcast of the Five RingsShadowlands 1 by Brandon SpainShadowlands 2 by Brandon SpainBattle storm by Podcast of the Five RingsKuni waste jam by Podcast of the Five RingsFight_dojo 1 by Brandon SpainDrum music by Podcast of the Five Rings

Host Dr. Jack West speaks with Dr. Fumiko Chino, radiation oncologist at Memorial Sloan-Kettering and caregiver to a young spouse who died of cancer, about the under-appreciated but severe and shame-inducing impact of cost and financial toxicity among families of patients with cancer.

Dr. Fumiko Chino, radiation oncologist at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, describes to host Jack West the impact of a mother as a successful radiation oncologist, & the many struggles of serving as a caregiver to a young adult spouse with cancer.

ASCO Daily News: Welcome to the ASCO Daily News podcast. I'm Lauren Davis, and joining me today is Dr. Fumiko Chino, a radiation oncologist who specializes in the treatment of gynecologic breast cancers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Dr. Chino had a circuitous way to oncology and is here to talk about how financial toxicity led to a new career for her and how it still affects her today. Dr. Chino, welcome to the podcast. Dr. Fumiko Chino: Thank you so much, Lauren. I appreciate the opportunity to talk to the ASCO Daily News about this very important topic. ASCO Daily News: We're glad you're here. Although your first career was as an art director, you come from a family with a medical background. Can you tell me about that? Dr. Fumiko Chino: Sure. So I would say you can't fight city hall. My mother is an oncologist. My brother's an oncologist, and my sister is also an oncologist. So it certainly was, I guess, to say, in the bloodline. But I had originally started a very fulfilling career in art and entertainment, and I was never really supposed to be a doctor. That wasn't in my grand plans. Dr. Fumiko Chino: Unfortunately, as we all know, cancer doesn't follow signposts. It does whatever it wants to do. And whenever I faced the treatment or diagnosis and ultimate death of my husband, I knew that I needed to do more. I needed to do more to improve the lives of others. I needed to make a bigger impact. What I normally say is that my husband was brilliant. He was going to change the world. And after he died, I had to be the one to change the world. ASCO Daily News: Mm, wow. I'm so sorry for your loss. So how did that lead to your decision to go to medical school for radiation oncology? Dr. Fumiko Chino: Yeah, so when I was in the hospital with my husband-- he was diagnosed in 2000. Well, he started having symptoms in 2005. He was diagnosed in early 2006. And that process was long and complicated. We were given a number of different diagnoses that weren't cancer, immediately. Because, again, if you have a healthy twenty-something man in your clinic, the first one through five of your differential diagnosis isn't cancer. Dr. Fumiko Chino: So like many young people, he went through a number of kind of false calls before ultimately getting his diagnosis of a high grade neuroendocrine carcinoma. And through the process of his cure, I realized that the people that you see in cancer care, each interaction is important. I originally actually thought I was going to go to nursing school. But coming from a family of oncologists, my sister said, you know what? You're not going to be happy as a nurse because eventually there's going to be some intern trying to tell you what to do, and you're going to know more than they will. And it's going to be frustrating for you. [LAUGHTER] Dr. Fumiko Chino: Which is accurate. I have the utmost respect for nurses. So she just said that I seriously consider medical school. And after my husband died, I thought about it for a long time. I went back to school, did some post-bac classes and ultimately decide to go to medical school. Dr. Fumiko Chino: I'm so grateful that I came to that path, but it was a hard path because I really struggled for a while after he died to kind of give my life purpose. But like what I said earlier, we were a team before. My plan was to continue working in arts, do arts nonprofit management. And he was going to be the one to make meaningful change in the world. But we're still a team. So anything I do now is still under our banner. ASCO Daily News: Absolutely. The sad fact of cancer care, we know, is that it's very expensive. And I know that your passion is around addressing issues around financial toxicity. I'm curious, what about the way insurance works surprised you when your husband was undergoing treatment? Dr. Fumiko Chino: Yeah, so all of the research that I've done is really rooted in and around personal experience. And so, I guess, in that way, I'm very selfish. Because when my husband was diagnosed, he had graduate student health insurance, and at the time we didn't really think of it. We said, well, he has health insurance. There will be costs, and we know that. We know cancer care isn't free, but it'll be manageable. Dr. Fumiko Chino: And what we didn't realize at that time-- and this is before the Affordable Care Act-- is that there wasn't the protections that were put in place. So for example, there were caps on how much the insurance company would pay. Those caps have been eliminated under the Affordable Care Act. But unfortunately, our part of what is being currently eroded in the-- I will say political environment that we are in now-- so the idea that you can now introduce a health insurance plan that does have a lifetime payment cap has been reintroduced. Dr. Fumiko Chino: So the coverage gap that we had is now potentially something that people could face today, when it had been eliminated in the last decade. I'm sorry, in the last five years. So what we found is that his insurance just stopped paying after a certain dollar amount. Which, with a cancer diagnosis, with any ongoing treatment, you understand that that's going to be continuing to be expensive. There's chemotherapy. There's scans. There's office visits. There's, unfortunately, hospitalizations for my husband, and there's need for supportive services. Dr. Fumiko Chino: And so those are all added to essentially the dollar amount. And after a certain point, his health insurance said, you're done. There's no more money that we will pay for his cancer care. And that was a huge shock to me, and is, unfortunately, is, again, what people are at threat for today, that at some point their insurance, if they have one of these, what I call sham insurance plans, that they have a serious diagnosis like cancer, that they will meet their max, meaning that the insurance company won't pay anymore. Dr. Fumiko Chino: The other thing that was surprising to me is that there was no cap on what we would pay. So the protections that were placed under the Affordable Care Act are that there is an out-of-pocket max, meaning that once you reach that level, that the insurance company will pay 100%. Those caps are high under the current marketplace plans for 2020. For a family plan they're $6,400. Sorry, $16,400. So that's incredibly high for a family to pay for a single person with a cancer diagnosis. Dr. Fumiko Chino: But at least it's a cap, whereas when my husband was diagnosed, it was literally a bottomless hole that we could throw money into. And it never seemed to make the difference in terms of what our balance was going to be. When he died, I owed hundreds of thousands-- I'm sorry, he owed hundreds of thousand dollars in medical bills. And I was really hounded by collectors for a decade afterwards. Dr. Fumiko Chino: It was actually only recently that I found out I wasn't responsible for that debt. And it really was the huge weight that lifted off of me. Because in my mind, I'd always been like, well, this is going to get me some time. And the whole life I was building now, the new career I have as a physician, I kept thinking, well, they're going to find me eventually. ASCO Daily News: Wow. What do you think clinicians need to know about financial toxicity in terms of how it affects patients and their families in the long term? Dr. Fumiko Chino: I think that physicians really need to think of this as being an insidious process. And the person who walks through their door with a new cancer diagnosis may not have problems with their finances, with their insurance, with their bills. And they may not realize that this is a problem that can work in the shadows. And you can be months or even maybe years into your cancer diagnosis before being faced with problems. Dr. Fumiko Chino: But what we know and what we have excellent evidence for is that it's financial toxicity can affect quality of life. It can affect the satisfaction you have with your cancer care, and ultimately can compromise the quality of the cancer care that you receive. So people will be cutting corners because of their costs. They'll be taking less of their medication. They'll be skipping scans. Dr. Fumiko Chino: We know that cancer survivors, of which there's a growing population in the United States, are missing out on, for example, mental health care or getting their glasses replaced. Young survivors are facing job lock, which is when they basically can't fulfill their maximum career potential because they're scared of changing jobs because of their health insurance. Dr. Fumiko Chino: Ultimately, we know that there's these huge family and personal burdens. We have medical bankruptcies. We have people who are literally losing their homes because of the financial burden of their cancer treatment. And the outcomes outside of just the personal and family effects can increase your risk of death. So this problem isn't something that will necessarily walk into your clinic and say, here I am. I have this problem. It can erode slowly over time. Dr. Fumiko Chino: It's just like any toxicity. Someone comes in with peripheral neuropathy, they say, it's a little numbness and tingling in my fingers, but it's OK. I can still do my activities of daily living. And then that can get worse and worse and eventually it can be disabling. And the same thing with financial toxicity is that it's a process. And my goal is to stem the tide of that process. Like any side effect in cancer cure, though, it's going to be hard to eliminate completely. ASCO Daily News: Absolutely.

Do you take the time to really reflect on your work and consciously think if the things you're doing are impactful? I guess we all recognise this to a certain degree: When you're caught up with the day to day operational stuff you rarely of (or rather take) the time to think critically about what you're doing. And we all know where that sometimes leads to... So in this episode Fumiko Ichikawa talks about ways to find more balance between thinking and doing as a design practitioner. We also look at another very interesting topic in this episode... A common challenge in a lot of service design projects is that as soon as the external agency leaves, the project loses most of it's momentum. Fumiko shares, from her own experience, a very effective way to increase the chance that the solution you're working on actually stays alive once you're gone. The answer to this will likely give you a different perspective on what a deliverable of a service design project might be. And finally we talk about the tendency of stakeholders to jump from research mode into ideation / solution mode. What can you do to allow for more time and deeper reflection? This episode is filled with great practical insights so I really hope you enjoy it! ---------------------------------------- EPISODE GUIDE 05:00 - The first encounter with Service Design. 06:20 - How can we balance thinking and doing? 13:20 - What if we can establish community through the design process? 20:35 - Why do we need to reframe? 28:35 - Big Question: How do YOU balance thinking and doing? ---------------------------------------- LINKS FROM THE EPISODE Fumiko on LinkedIn ➜ https://go.servicedesignshow.com/llac1 Re:public ➜ http://re-public.jp/ Reach Network ➜ https://go.servicedesignshow.com/r-io_ MORE EPISODES Enjoyed the show?

Listen to host Craig Horsley speak with the cast and crew of the feature film Sushi Tushi or How Asia Butted into American Pro Football with director Ziad Hamzeh, producer Bob Altman, editor Sam Adelman and stars Eddie Mekka and Claire Kennedy. Synopsis: What do you when you’re a pro football franchise, The Portland Lobsters and have lost 32 games in a row? Hard to believe since you’ve got Caleb O’Rourke, the finest QB in the league, an all American Football trophy winner from Princeton. So why the problem? The line defending O’Rourke consists of the most inept, bungling idiots ever to play football. In desperation, maybe you buy a school of Sumo Wrestlers, with all of their gargantuan Sumos, and turn them into linemen protecting your precious O’Rourke. Easier said than done, since Yama, the greatest of the sumo wrestlers demands that his girlfriends Fumiko and Yoko, members of the Japanese Purple Lotus Blossom Society of Lady Sumo Wrestlers, accompany him to Maine to be incorporated into the Lobsters’ lovely, graceful cheer-leading squad, The Lobsterettes. And what do you do on the very last play of the Big Game, when all seems lost and you’re losing by a point? Maybe, if you’re a sumo lineman, you strip off your stupid pro football uniform, take stock of your sumo heritage, and clad only in your loincloth, go for the win- the sumo way.
