In this episode we discuss focal therapy for the treatment of prostate cancer.  Historically, men diagnosed with localized prostate cancer have had to choose between two treatment options: surgery and radiation therapy.  Both options involve treating the entire prostate gland, regardless of the size, location, or number of cancerous tumors.  Recently, however, more localized treatment options have become available for prostate cancer that involve focally treating only the tumors, rather than the entire prostate gland.  So, what are these focal therapies?  How do they work?  What risks are involved? What advantages do they have over traditional therapies?  And, probably most importantly, how successful are they at actually curing prostate cancer?  To answer these questions and many more, we turned to a true expert. Dr. Arvin George is an Associate Professor of Urology at the University of Michigan.  After obtaining his medical degree from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, he completed his Urology Residency at the Smith Institute for Urology at the Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine.  He remained to complete his Endourology fellowship in New York gaining additional subspecialty expertise in robotic, laparoscopic, and percutaneous surgery.  Subsequently, he completed a Urologic Oncology fellowship at the National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health.  Dr. George's research interests include minimally invasive and image-guided treatments, functional prostate imaging and focal therapy for prostate cancer. He is an active member of the American Urological Association, Society of Urologic Oncology, the Endourological Society, and the American College of Surgeons.#prostate #prostatecancertreatment #prostatecancer #focaltherapy

There has been a drastic drop in breast and colorectal cancer screenings. Hospitals that are overrun and overwhelmed have prolonged and, in many cases, halted the diagnosis and treatment of serious illness. Dr. Bhoomi Mehrotra, MD, Director of Oncology and Director of The Cancer Institute at St. Francis Hospital in NY, discusses how they are continuing to screen, diagnose and treat patients, and the importance of encouraging communities to not postpone their annual exams or checkups. Bhoomi Mehrotra, M.D., is both Director of Oncology and Director of The Cancer Institute at St. Francis Hospital, The Heart Center. Before coming to St. Francis, Dr. Mehrotra was the Associate Chief of Oncology at North Shore LIJ Department of Medicine. Prior to that, he served as section chief of Medical Oncology and Director of the Adult Autologous Stem Cell Program at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New Hyde Park, New York. He is currently an Associate Professor of Medicine at the Hofstra-North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine and has been recognized by Castle Connolly as one of the ``Best Doctors`` in the New York Metro area. Dr. Mehrotra received his medical degree at the University of Delhi, where he also completed an internship. He completed his residency in Internal Medicine at LIJ and a fellowship in Hematology and Oncology at the Cancer Research Institute at the University of California (UC) in San Francisco.

Date: October 5, 2011​ Featuring: Arthur Kleinman, MD, Esther and Sidney Rabb Professor of Anthropology, Professor of Medical Anthropology, Professor of Psychiatry, William Fung Director: Harvard University, Harvard Medical School, Harvard University Asia Center Jeremy Boal, MD, Chief Medical Officer, North Shore–LIJ Health System; Professor of Medicine, Hofstra North Shore–LIJ School of Medicine Dana R. Lustbader MD, FCCM, FCCP, FAAHPM, Section Head, Palliative Medicine, North Shore–Long Island Jewish Medical Center; Program Director, Palliative Medicine Fellowship, North Shore–LIJ; founding Director, Palliative Care Unit, North Shore University Hospital; Assistant Medical Director, New York Organ Donor Network   Andrea Kabcenell, RN, MPH, Vice President, Institute for Healthcare Improvement When we talk about caring for loved ones with serious illness, we usually focus on the problems and challenges most of all. And that makes sense. There is nothing easy or simple about family caregiving, and when it’s required of spouses and grown children the burdens can be especially high. Still, when you hear Arthur Kleinman describe what it was like to take care of his wife before she died, the words that jump out are honor, respect, and love ― even in the midst of grief, fatigue, and loneliness.Kleinman, a psychiatrist and medical anthropologist, discovered that caregiving could be transformative, especially the further away he got from the fast-paced, high-tech world of cure and intervention that characterize so much of health care today. But there doesn’t have to be such a divide ― not if health care providers can become more comfortable talking with patients and families about serious illness, more familiar with the benefits of palliative and end-of-life care, and more capable of appreciating the power of compassion.This WIHI discusses the very human “call to action” that family caregiving poses for all of health care today. WIHI host Madge Kaplan talks with Arthur Kleinman, two physicians from North Shore-Long Island Jewish (NSLIJ) Health System ― Chief Medical Officer Jeremy Boal and Intensivist and Palliative Care program director Dana Lustbader ― and IHI Vice President Andrea Kabcenell. In partnership with the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, NSLIJ is on the cusp of bringing a great deal more expertise and knowledge to bear on how their 15 hospitals, long-term care facilities, and home health agencies can better respond to and support patients and families facing serious illness. This is a perfect moment and opportunity to engage with this team in shared learning.As Arthur Kleinman told The New York Times: “There is a moral task of caregiving, and that involves just being there, being with that person and being committed. When there is nothing that can be done, we have to be able to say, ‘Look, I’m with you in this experience. Right through to the end of it.’ ”
