Guest: Jennifer Caudle, DO Host: Patrick McGill, MD Current cancer screening guidelines cover just five cancers—breast, lung, colon, prostate, and cervical—leaving many aggressive cancers undetected until later stages. But multi-cancer early detection (MCED) testing is reshaping the landscape with blood-based analyses of cell-free DNA and methylation patterns to identify potential cancers earlier than traditional imaging. Designed for the general population over age 50, MCED testing complements rather than replaces standard screenings, helping detect cancers at stages when treatment is most effective. Joining Dr. Jennifer Caudle to share practical strategies for integrating MCED into clinical workflows, addressing misconceptions, and streamlining follow-up protocols is Dr. Patrick McGill, board-certified family physician and Executive Vice President, Chief Transformation Officer at Community Health Network in Indianapolis.
Host: Charles Turck, PharmD, BCPS, BCCCP Guest: Evandro Bezerra, MD As CAR T-cell therapy advances, so does the complexity of adverse event monitoring. Due to evolving insights into acute toxicities, infections, cytopenias, and secondary malignancies, both inpatient and outpatient care models are adapting to meet new standards. Joining Dr. Charles Turck to discuss practical strategies and emerging tools for managing post-CAR T toxicities across the continuum of care is Dr. Evandro Bezerra, Clinical Assistant Professor at Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center in Columbus.
Host: Brian P. McDonough, MD, FAAFP Guest: Marie Wood, MD Traditional cancer screening has always focused on individual organs, but now, multi-cancer early detection (MCED) tests are changing that paradigm. By analyzing multiple biomarkers through a single blood draw, MCED testing can detect signals from a variety of cancers—many of which currently lack effective screening tools. These multi-biomarker approaches not only outperform single-marker tests, but also demonstrate scientific rigor and clinical utility. Still, challenges remain, including false positives and integration with standard screening protocols. Joining Dr. Brian McDonough to explore the rationale for using a multi-biomarker approach to MCED testing is Dr. Marie Wood, Professor of Medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and Medical Director of the Hereditary Cancer Program at the CU Cancer Center.
Host: Brian P. McDonough, MD, FAAFP Guest: Mylynda Massart, MD, PhD Given its ability to identify universal cancer signals across multiple tumor types, multi-cancer early detection (MCED) testing is emerging as a promising tool to complement traditional, single-cancer screening methods. Joining Dr. Brian McDonough to share practical strategies for introducing MCED testing into clinical workflows and enhancing patient engagement is Dr. Mylynda Massart. Not only is she an Associate Professor at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, but she's also the Founder and Medical Director of the Primary Care Precision Medicine Clinic and Associate Director of Clinical Services for the Institute for Precision Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
Host: Charles Turck, PharmD, BCPS, BCCCP Guest: Forat Lutfi, MD Guest: Nilanjan Ghosh, MD, PhD For patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma, timely access to CAR T-cell therapy can be life-saving, but communication gaps between referring physicians and CAR T centers can lead to delays or missed opportunities. Fortunately, practical strategies like building strong referral networks, improving direct communication, and aligning on shared care responsibilities can streamline access and improve outcomes. Joining Dr. Charles Turck to share their insights on how we can bridge these communication gaps are Drs. Forat Lutfi and Nilanjan Ghosh. Dr. Lutfi is an Assistant Professor of Hematologic Malignancies and Cellular Therapeutics at University of Kansas Medical Center, and Dr. Ghosh is a Professor of Cancer Medicine at the Wake Forest University School of Medicine in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Host: Charles Turck, PharmD, BCPS, BCCCP Guest: Neil M. Iyengar, MD Guest: Komal Jhaveri, MD, FACP The second-line treatment of HR+/HER2-advanced breast cancer has evolved in recent years, particularly with the rise of biomarker-driven strategies targeting PI3Kα and other mutations. But given these advances, there's a lot we need to think about when selecting therapy, like the differences between selective and non-selective inhibitors, toxicity profiles, and shared decision-making. Joining Dr. Charles Turck to share their insights on those key considerations and how we can personalize care for patients with PI3Kα-mutated HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer are Drs. Komal Jhaveri and Neil Iyengar. Dr. Jhaveri is the section head for the Endocrine Therapy Research Program in the Breast Medicine Service at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and Dr. Iyengar is the Co-Director of the Breast Oncology Program at the Winship Cancer Institute at Emory University.

Host: Charles Turck, PharmD, BCPS, BCCCP Guest: Neil M. Iyengar, MD Due to their wild-type inhibition, first-generation PIK3CA inhibitors for HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer were limited by significant toxicities, including hyperglycemia, rash, and diarrhea. But now, mutation-specific PIK3CA inhibitors could help improve tolerability and adherence as well as simplify dosing strategies—all while maintaining efficacy.

Host: Charles Turck, PharmD, BCPS, BCCCP Guest: Manali Kamdar, MD Although CAR T-cell therapies have transformed the treatment of B-cell malignancies, a major logistical and socioeconomic barrier remains: patients are typically required to stay near a certified treatment center for at least 4 weeks after infusion to manage potential adverse events. So to help improve patient access, a recent study explored exactly when toxicities occur and whether post-infusion monitoring could be shortened without compromising safety. And based on the findings, it's time to rethink the 4-week monitoring window. To learn more about the study's results and what they mean for patient monitoring, safety, and broader outcomes, tune in to hear Dr. Charles Turck speak with Dr. Manali Kamdar, who authored a poster on this topic that was presented at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting.
