When Steve Harrison experienced fatigue, back soreness and shoulder pain in 2024, he attributed it to his "getting old."  He was in his early fifties.  But when he began to have difficulty breathing, he sought medical attention.  Because Steve also had asthma, his doctor had COPD, she prescribed an inhaler.  That did little to no good.  He saw another doctor who ran a variety of tests, which found pleural fusion.  After a bronchoscopy and a biopsy, he was diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer.  In addition to chemotherapy, the oncologist prescribed a TKI inhibitor, known as tagrisso.  After nine treatments, he was taken off chemo, but remains on tagrisso, which is not a cure, but a treatment, and has allowed Steve to get on with his life.  He would say his health is roughly 70-80 percent of what it was, pre-diagnosis.   Steve's San Diego job as a construction inspector was physically stressful.  That's why when was getting tired more often than usual, when he had back and shoulder pain, he did not immediately seek medical attention because he thought it was part of getting old.  But things went from bad to worse.  In addition to having shortness of breath, he began to get night sweats.  He thought he could address these issues with Tylenol and Theraflu.    He finally went to his primary care doctor who listened to his chest, thought he had COPD and gave him an inhaler.  That worked for one day, then didn't work at all.  On a visit to the Grand Canyon, the 6,000-foot elevation really made it tough for him to breath.  In addition, he was constantly tired and sore all over.  Upon returning to San Diego, he went to the emergency room.   Steve underwent a variety of tests.  Doctors found pleural fusion, which is fluid inside the lung.  They said the fluid needed to be removed.  A thoracentesis was performed, which removed about 400cc of a yellowish fluid.  Once it was out, Steve could breathe again.  Then he underwent another test, a biopsy.  It indicated Steve had metastatic Stage IV lung cancer, which had metastasized from the base of his skull to his spine.   The cause of the cancer was a mutation, EGFR exon 19 deletion.  The oncologist prescribed a two-pronged chemotherapy regimen of carboplatin and pemetrexed for the lung and for the mutation, a TKI inhibitor known as tagrisso.    Steve suffered the side effects generally associated with chemotherapy.  During his nine treatments, he experienced fatigue, cognitive issues and food tasted terrible.  His oncologist eventually took him off the chemo, kept him on the tagrisso.   The bone lesions eventually disappeared, and Steve's health has returned to about 70-80 percent of what it was before his diagnosis.  Steve says the tagrisso is not a cure, but does keep his lung cancer at bay.   By way of advice, he says science has come a long way, so much so that a diagnosis of metastatic Stage IV lung cancer should not be considered a death sentence.  He also urges anyone diagnosed with the disease to "dive deep" and stay mentally strong even when it seems that is very hard to do.   Additional Resources:   Support Group:   The A Breath of Hope Lung Foundation  https://www.abreathofhope.org   Steve's YouTube channel  EFGRandme

Michael A. Crane, the medical director of the World Trade Center Health Program Clinical Center of Excellence at Mount Sinai, thought he would be seeing a lot of cases of lung cancer coming into his clinic. “My greatest concern was that they were gonna get lung cancer,” Crane said. He remembers treating 9/11 first responders during the immediate recovery. Workers would put on a mask and the filter would clog up within 30 minutes. The air was thick and impossible to breathe. But 25 years later, an uptick in lung cancer hasn't really panned out in the data—so far. “Fingers crossed, fingers crossed, it might be off the table,” he said. “But of course, there's no guarantees in life, as in anything else.”In this episode of the Cancer History Project podcast, reporter Sara Willa Ernst sits down with Michael Crane to talk about the surprising twists and turns of treating 9/11 first responders over the past 25 years. He also offers his theory behind why the incidence of lung cancer didn't spike as expected—an achievement, perhaps one of Crane's proudest, that the program was able to accomplish. The WTC Health Program was able to reduce smoking among first responders from 20% to just 3%, according to Mount Sinai data.“When I die, and God asks me: ‘What did you do with your life?' I'm gonna give them that statistic and demand to get into the doors. ‘Open the doors, buddy! Look what I did here,'” Crane said. The Cancer History Project Podcast is sponsored by City of Hope, the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins, and the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. A transcript of this podcast is available, along with an archive of related articles, on the Cancer History Project website:  https://cancerhistoryproject.com/article/michael-crane-911/

In this episode of Exploring AI in Oncology, Waqas Haque, MD, MPH, Hematology/Oncology Fellow at the University of Chicago, speaks with Dr. Kenneth Patrick Seastedt, Thoracic Surgeon at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, about MIRACLE, an AI-enabled platform designed to help predict postoperative pulmonary complications after lung cancer surgery. By combining clinical data, radiomic information extracted from CT imaging, and large language model (LLM)–generated risk explanations, the platform creates a more personalized assessment of surgical risk—all while keeping surgeons involved in every stage of interpretation and decision making.

SHOWNOTES Apple Podcast Description: Episode Title: In this episode of All Talk Oncology, host Kenny Perkins (Your Cancer Guy) talks with Dr. Jeffrey Velotta, a thoracic surgeon practicing in Northern California, to discuss a growing and often misunderstood health crisis—lung cancer in people who have never smoked. While many people associate lung cancer primarily with smoking, Dr. Velotta explains that an alarming trend is emerging, particularly among Asian women who have never smoked. Despite California having one of the lowest smoking rates in the United States, the state continues to see some of the highest lung cancer incidence and mortality rates. Dr. Velotta breaks down the surprising risk factors behind this phenomenon, why many patients are being diagnosed at Stage IV, and what individuals can do to advocate for themselves when symptoms appear. This conversation is an essential listen for patients, caregivers, and anyone concerned about lung health—especially those who believe they are not at risk. In this episode, Dr. Castro discusses: Why lung cancer is increasing among non-smokers The alarming rise of lung cancer in Asian women Why many patients are diagnosed at Stage IV Key risk factors beyond smoking The importance of early detection and recognizing symptoms Why persistent cough should never be ignored When to request a chest X-ray or CT scan Why getting a second opinion is critical for cancer care How patients can find clinical trials and new treatment options Dr. Velotta also encourages patients to become active participants in their healthcare by asking tough questions, advocating for themselves, and seeking the best possible care. This episode provides vital insight into a growing public health issue and empowers patients with the knowledge needed to take action early.

Today, we delve into a series of updates that underscore the dynamism and complexity of these industries, marked by breakthroughs, strategic shifts, and regulatory hurdles. A notable scientific advancement comes from Biokin Pharma, where their bispecific antibody-drug conjugate, Iza-Bren, has achieved its primary endpoint in a Phase 3 trial focused on lung cancer. This success underscores the promise of ADCs in oncology, particularly their ability to target cancer cells while minimizing damage to healthy tissues. This approach not only enhances the efficacy of cancer therapies but also reduces side effects, providing a compelling argument for Bristol Myers Squibb's global testing initiatives in this domain. Such advancements are pivotal as they represent a significant leap toward more personalized cancer treatments. In regulatory and corporate news, Sanofi's recent restructuring following its acquisition of Blueprint Medicines has been significant. The integration process involves laying off 229 employees and closing operations in Cambridge. This move highlights a broader trend of consolidation within the biotech sector as companies seek to streamline operations and optimize resources amid an increasingly competitive market. Meanwhile, CSL Behring, an Australian company specializing in plasma and vaccines, anticipates mid-single-digit growth by fiscal year 2027. This optimistic outlook follows a period of challenges, including impairments and leadership changes. The company attributes its recovery largely to advancements in immunoglobulin therapies, which play a critical role in treating immune deficiencies and autoimmune diseases, highlighting the importance of innovation in sustaining growth. On the clinical trial front, Amylyx Pharmaceuticals is making waves with its GLP-1 receptor antagonist Avexitide. The drug has shown promising Phase 3 results by significantly reducing hypoglycemic episodes in patients with a rare endocrine disorder. This finding could revolutionize treatment protocols for endocrine disorders beyond traditional diabetes management, emphasizing the potential of GLP-1 inhibitors to enhance patient outcomes across various conditions. The latest updates from Amylyx Pharmaceuticals further showcase these industry dynamics as they prepare for an FDA filing for Avexitide following successful trial outcomes. The drug addresses post-bariatric hypoglycemia—a critical gap in metabolic disorder management—highlighting its potential impact on patient care and market dynamics with an anticipated $1.7 billion peak sales forecast. However, not all developments have been positive. EyePoint Pharmaceuticals faced setbacks with Duravyu, their AMD drug-device combo, which did not meet expectations in a Phase 3 trial. This highlights the inherent risks of developing drug-device combinations in late-stage trials and underscores the competitive pressures from market leaders like Eylea. In another strategic shift within big pharma, Merck KGaA has laid off 20 staff members from its U.S. research team as part of an ongoing reassessment of research priorities and resource allocations. Similarly, BioMarin Pharmaceutical's $275 million acquisition of Alesta Therapeutics marks an effort to bolster their bone disease portfolio and challenge competitors like AstraZeneca in specialized therapeutic areas. BioMarin's acquisition emphasizes competition within rare diseases—a sector ripe with opportunities for innovative treatments addressing unmet needs. Technological advancements are also reshaping the landscape. Johnson & Johnson MedTech's recent software updates for its Monarch bronchoscopy robot illustrate how digital solutions are enhancing diagnostic capabilities in lung cancer detection. This aligns with industry trends towards leveraging AI and robotics to improve precision medicine. Eurofins CDMO Alphora's expansion to meet the growing demand for high-potency active pharmaceutical ingredients reflects a rising interest in targeted therapies requiring precise dosing and specialized manufacturing processes. Such trends indicate a shift toward more personalized medicine approaches that prioritize efficacy and safety. Despite setbacks faced by companies like Regeneron due to safety concerns halting clinical trials, strategic moves such as GSK's licensing agreement with Chugai Pharmaceutical for an anti-dengue antibody exemplify ongoing efforts to combat infectious diseases through innovative biologics. The collaboration between Evaxion and Duke University on AI-designed glioblastoma vaccines further illustrates how artificial intelligence is becoming integral to next-generation cancer therapies—potentially paving the way for personalized vaccines that optimize antigen selection based on individual tumor profiles. Rigel Pharmaceuticals' launch of Veppanu marks another milestone—the first FDA-approved PROTAC for advanced breast cancer—demonstrating novel mechanisms targeting pathogenic proteins effectively while offering new treatment avenues for molecularly defined cancers. These stories capture the essence of today's pharmaceutical landscape: one where innovation coexists with challenges but holds immense potential to transform healthcare delivery globally. As companies continue pushing boundaries with emerging technologies like AI integration or expanding into niche markets through strategic acquisitions—the future looks promising for delivering more targeted solutions tailored toward specific patient populations worldwide.Support the show

Joanna Nathan, CEO and co-founder of Prana Surgical, adjunct professor at Rice University and a former MedTech investor who spent years at the J&J MedTech Center for Device Innovation before crossing over into building herself. Her company recently secured FDA clearance for the Prana System, a tissue-sparing platform rethinking how early stage lung cancer is diagnosed and treated.In this episode, Joanna shares the deeply personal story behind her move from investing back into operating, having lost her four year old son in 2021 and wanting proximity to patient impact rather than evaluating innovation from the sidelines. It is an honest and moving conversation about what actually drives someone to take on a decade-long mission.We get into what she learned watching hundreds of pitches from the investor seat, why a no is very often about portfolio construction and timing rather than the quality of your idea, and why a fundraising pitch is a vision document backed by evidence rather than a journal article. Joanna then breaks down the problem Prana is solving, why removing large portions of lung for a tiny early stage nodule is no longer justifiable and how the system is right-sized for the level of risk these smaller lesions present.We also explore the changing face of lung cancer, the rise of never smokers now approaching one in three patients, why the disease is getting younger and more female, the role of mobile screening in rural areas and where AI genuinely helps rather than replaces clinical judgement. Joanna closes with hard-won advice for anyone thinking about founding a company and why community is what carries you through.Timestamps[00:01:38] From Research to Investing to Building: The Path Back to Operating[00:03:33] Why a No From an Investor Is Rarely About Your Idea[00:05:29] Why a Pitch Is a Vision Document Not a Journal Article[00:07:16] The Problem With Early Stage Lung Cancer Surgery Today[00:09:22] The Rise of Never Smokers and a Disease That Is Changing Fast[00:11:03] Why Women Under 50 Now Face Higher Lung Cancer Rates[00:13:18] Getting Creative on Access: Mobile CT Screening in Rural Areas[00:17:21] AI in MedTech: Assisting Clinical Judgement Not Replacing It[00:19:22] How Houston Became an Unlikely MedTech Powerhouse[00:24:06] Who Should Not Become a Founder and the Decade-Long QuestionConnect with Joanna - ⁠linkedin.com/in/joannacnathan/Learn more about Prana Surgical - https://www.pranasurgical.com/Get in touch with Karandeep Badwal - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/karandeepbadwal/ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Karandeep on YouTube - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@KarandeepBadwal⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Medical device training courses delivered by Karandeep through Bywater - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.bywater.co.uk/

Shira Boehler's family is full of doctors, and every one of them told her not to get the full-body MRI. She canceled the appointment repeatedly herself, until her husband rebooked it one time too many and she finally went.The scan found a 3.8 centimeter mass in her right lung and labeled it a minor finding, with a note to correlate with symptoms. She had none. She was running six miles a day, the picture of health, and had never smoked. A follow-up CT months later showed the mass had grown, and on the Monday she walked into a pulmonary specialist's office she was told she had an invasive adenocarcinoma. She told him it was probably an EMR error. One week later, surgeons removed half her right lung to treat her cancer.Samira Daswani, host of Patient from Hell and founder of Manta Cares, welcomes lung cancer survivor and bestselling author Shira Boehler for an eye-opening conversation on the part that comes after the story, which is why almost nobody in Shira's position gets caught this early. Screening guidelines currently cover people over 50 with a twenty-pack-per-year smoking history, and fewer than one in five of them actually get scanned, in part because the criteria require disclosing something patients are ashamed of. Shira has been working the problem from both ends since her treatment, negotiating cash prices at imaging centers down to a fraction of what she paid and funding new scans for people who can't cover them through the nonprofit organization she founded, Cancer Doesn't Care.In this episode, Samira and Shira discuss:Why lung cancer is often diagnosed too lateThe importance of early detection and low-dose CT screeningHow people who have never smoked can still develop lung cancerThe stigma surrounding lung cancer diagnosisCurrent lung cancer screening guidelinesInsurance coverage, healthcare access, policy reformHow artificial intelligence may improve cancer screeningWhy patient advocacy is becoming increasingly important in modern healthcareChapters00:00 Introduction01:00 The Full-Body Scan That Changed Everything03:32 Diagnosed With Lung Cancer Despite Having No Symptoms05:30 Access, Privilege & Why Early Detection Isn't Equal07:10 Building the Cancer Doesn't Care Foundation09:21 Why Lung Cancer Screening Needs to Change10:19 Breaking the Stigma Around Lung Cancer12:26 Who Actually Qualifies for Screening?14:23 Changing Public Perception Through Advocacy16:20 Why Patients Must Advocate for Themselves17:15 AI, False Positives & the Future of Cancer Screening20:27 Why Lung Cancer Is Often Diagnosed Too Late21:17 Stage 1 vs. Stage 4 Survival Rates23:25 Shira's Advice for Anyone Considering Lung Cancer ScreeningShira Kupperman Boehler is a finance professional, health advocate, bestselling author, and lung cancer survivor. Shira holds a degree in Molecular and Cell Biology from the University of California, Berkeley, and an MBA from New York University's Stern School of Business. Alongside her husband Adam, she has spent her career building and scaling multibillion-dollar healthcare businesses, developing deep relationships across health systems, payers, and policymakers.After being unexpectedly diagnosed with Stage 1B lung adenocarcinoma despite never smoking and having no symptoms, Shira founded Cancer Doesn't Care, a nonprofit dedicated to expanding access to life-saving lung cancer screening and reducing financial barriers to early detection. She is also the author of the bestselling memoir One Scan Saved My Life, with proceeds supporting patient screening initiatives.
