November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month. Stephanie Williams was a nurse and stopped her employment when she had her daughter in 2015. In 2021, she had a persistent cough that turned out to be lung cancer. “When I was diagnosed, I was 37 years old, and I didn't have the typical risk factors we think of when we think of lung cancer. For example, I'm what they call a never smoker. I didn't have a family history of lung cancer, and there were no environmental exposures that we were aware of that would have contributed to my diagnosis. So, my family and I were very shocked, “said Williams. According to Dr. Troy Moritz, thoracic surgeon with UPMC, Lung Cancer is abnormal growth in the lung. “It occurs when the cells have mutations. They go unchecked and then they multiply sometimes rapidly. And the checks and balances that our body has to take care of, altered DNA sort of fail. And so those cells are allowed to multiply unchecked. You can have growth of different types of cells and that's why we get different types of lung cancer, “said Moritz. Historically, there are different ways that someone can get diagnosed with lung cancer.  “You had symptoms. Now you maybe coughed up blood. Maybe you were short of breath, maybe you had a cough, maybe had chest pain. And your doctor would then prescribe an X-ray or a Cat scan or some other diagnostic test. The other way was what we called incidentally found. And that's people that maybe had a kidney stone and got a Cat scan or they fell off a ladder and came to the E.R. and got a Cat scan or for some reason they got imaging done. And on that imaging, we would see a nodule or a mass that would lead to an investigation and uncover that they had lung cancer. Nowadays, we're fortunate because we have screening for lung cancer, “said Moritz. Today, Stephanie has become an influencer on social media, raising awareness about Lung Cancer. “Shortly before starting chemotherapy, I went on Tik Tok and just made a couple of videos talking about this crazy thing that happened to me, which is finding a tumor in my long after a little bitty cough that I wasn't too worried about. And sharing that story got some interest. People started following me. People would comment about a family member they know that had lung cancer or even people who were newly diagnosed themselves. And I continued to share my story through chemo. And the following grew a little bit. And it's been a nice outlet for me to kind of process some things surrounding my diagnosis. And it's made some great connections for me with other people, with lung cancer organizations and helps me get the word out, “said Williams. During this month, Dr. Moritz is working to raise awareness and break the stigma associated with lung cancer. “You know, I started my career a long time ago and, you know, lung cancer was perceived as, you know, kind of an older smoker's disease. And so there's not a lot of sympathy in that. And so over time, you know, as less and less of our population smoke, it becomes more and more apparent that nonsmokers do get lung cancer. And so people like Stefanie are incredibly important to advocating for that and changing people's perception of what lung cancer is all about. A lot of times when people think about women's cancers, everybody immediately thinks about the gynecologic or the breast cancer. But what most people don't realize is that lung cancer kills more women. It's the leading cancer killer in women. And so that's an awareness that most people just don't have. And so people like Stephanie can sort of help change those minds to young people get cancer. Not a lot, but some do in nonsmokers get lung cancer, but it's also survivable. There's been more advancements in the last five years than the prior 50 years, and that comes from surgery, radiation advancements, chemotherapy advancements. The entire treatment paradigm has changed. People survive a lot longer with more advanced stage lung cancer. And so it's important to have advocates. It's important to have people out there that are trying to change the way people see lung cancer because that drives funding and it drives organizations that are out there creating public awareness, “said Moritz.        Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Intro: Lung cancer screening update.Written by Luz Perez, MSIII, Ross University School of Medicine. Editing by Hector Arreaza, MD.Hello, my name is Luz Perez and today I will talk about lung cancer screening.As a reminder, lung cancer is the top cause of cancer-related death in men and women worldwide. In the United States, lung cancer causes the death of about 154,000 people each year[4]. Smoking is the most significant risk factor for developing lung cancer, a risk that directly correlates to how much and how long a person has smoked[2]. Despite the efforts to decrease lung cancer-related deaths, which include screening of patients at risk and counseling on smoking cessation, many patients go undiagnosed in part because lung cancer can be asymptomatic but also because many people at risk did not meet the criteria for screening, according to previous guidelines… BUT On November 1, 2023, the American Cancer Society updated its guidelines for lung cancer screening to decrease mortality by lung cancer in the US. The updated lung cancer screening guidelines were published in November, which is Lung Cancer Awareness Month. This guideline aims to expand eligibility criteria for lung cancer screening. Previously, the guidelines covered people only between the ages of 55-74 who were current smokers or had quit within the past 15 years and had a 30 or more pack-year smoking history[3].The new guidelines recommend annual screening with low-dose CT (LDCT) scan for people who are 50-80 years old who are current or former smokers and who have a 20 or more pack-year of smoking history [1]. This change means that about 5 million people who would previously not qualify for screening are now eligible for this potentially lifesaving screening exam.Additionally, the American Cancer Society emphasizes the significance of shared decision-making between patients and healthcare providers on lung cancer screening and smoking cessation. This includes ways to help patients stop smoking by providing counseling and interventions including medications. For patients who are eligible for screening, having a full discussion of the lung cancer screening process including the purpose of the procedure, risks and benefits of low-dose CT, and recommendations from other organizations, is key in the shared decision-making process[1]. Perhaps, the most important step in the implementation of these new guidelines is ensuring that medical professionals talk to their patients about them and make them aware of the importance of screening for lung cancer. In this way, we can reduce mortality and other consequences of this devastating disease. Written by Maria Danusantoso, MSIV, Ross University School of Medicine. Editing by Hector Arreaza, MD.Update to Guidelines for Treatment of Diabetic Foot InfectionsIntroductionIn October 2023, the International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot (IWGDF) and the Infectious Disease Society of America (IDSA) collaborated and published an update to the 2019 guideline on the diagnosis and management of infections of the foot in persons with diabetes mellitus.The present guidelines include a list of 25 recommendations for diagnosis and management and clinically useful figures and tables including a treatment algorithm, a classification system for defining diabetic foot infections, and empirical antibiotic therapy according to clinical presentation and microbiological data.The goal of this episode is not to provide an exhaustive review of the updated guidelines and algorithms but to highlight what I believe are the most important recommendations. I hope this brief presentation is viewed as an introduction and that this encourages you, the listener, to independently read the guidelines in full and implement them into your own clinical practice.Wound Colonization Versus Wound InfectionBefore jumping into some of the recommendations, I want to take some time to discuss briefly how to classify diabetic foot infections. Most clinicians, including myself, will see a patient with diabetes with a foot ulcer or wound and want to treat it with antibiotics or admit the patient to the hospital. However, the updated guidelines propose that antibiotics and/or admission are not always indicated. For clinicians, there needs to be an awareness that wound colonization and wound infection are not the same. Wound colonization by bacteria is defined by the presence of bacteria on a wound surface without evidence of invasion of the host tissues. Colonization, then, can be considered a constant phenomenon as we live in a bacteria-filled world. Comment: If we culture our intact skin, we may find pathogens, that's why wound cultures even if they are positive, do not indicate there is infection. Tell us about infection.In contrast, wound infection is a disease state caused by the invasion and multiplication of microorganisms in host tissues that induce an inflammatory response in the host, usually followed by tissue damage. Therefore, since all wounds are colonized – often with potentially pathogenic microorganisms – we cannot define wound infection using only the results of wound cultures. Instead, diabetic foot infections are a clinical diagnosis based on the presence of manifestations of an inflammatory process involving a foot wound located below the malleoli. These signs and symptoms of inflammation may be masked in persons with diabetes especially if they have some level of baseline peripheral neuropathy, peripheral artery disease, or immune dysfunction.Classification of Diabetic Foot Infections.To assist with the classification of diabetic foot infections, the updated guidelines include a table for defining the presence and severity of an infection of the foot in a person with diabetes. Again, diabetic foot infections are a clinical diagnosis, and the clinical classification of infection can be described as: 1) uninfected, 2) mild, 3) moderate +/- O if osteomyelitis is present, 4) severe +/- O if osteomyelitis is present. Uninfected has no systemic or local symptoms or signs of infection. Mild infection is when at least two of the following are present: local swelling or induration, erythema between 0.5-2 cm around the wound in any direction, local tenderness or pain, local increased warmth, purulent discharge, and there is no other cause of an inflammatory response of the skin present (e.g., trauma, gout, acute Charcot neuro-arthropathy, fracture, thrombosis, or venous stasis).Moderate infection is without systemic manifestations and involves erythema extending 2 cm or more from the wound margin and/or involves tissue deeper than skin and subcutaneous tissues (e.g., tendon, muscle, joint, and bone) +/- the presence of osteomyelitis. The surrounding erythema and the depth of wound are key element in the classification of the wounds. Severe infection is associated with systemic manifestations and meets systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) criteria as manifested by 2 or more of the following: temperature below 36°C or above 38°C, heart rate greater than 90 beats per minute, respiratory rate greater than 20 breaths per minute, white blood cell count greater than 12,000/mm3 or greater than 10% immature (band) forms +/- presence of osteomyelitis. Features of Osteomyelitis on Plain X-RayWe have mentioned osteomyelitis quite a few times in this episode, so what are some ways we can diagnose osteomyelitis? Most commonly, osteomyelitis is diagnosed via imaging either with plain X-rays  or MRI. When looking at plain X-rays, there are a few features that are characteristic of diabetes-related osteomyelitis of the foot of which we should be aware regardless of our status as radiologists. Some of these features include bone sclerosis with or without erosion, abnormal soft tissue density or gas density in the subcutaneous fat, or new or evolving radiographic features on serial images spaced several weeks apart such as loss of bone cortex, focal demineralization, periosteal reaction or elevation. Changes in x-ray may be a late finding and indicate that the osteomyelitis is established.General Treatment Recommendations for Diabetic Foot InfectionsIn the updated guidelines, recommendation 11 states to not treat clinically uninfected foot ulcers with systemic or local antibiotic therapy when the goal is to reduce the risk of new infection or to promote ulcer healing. As previously said, diabetic foot infections are a clinical diagnosis. So if clinically the wound does not meet criteria to be classified as a mild, moderate, or severe infection, this recommendation proposes that no antibiotic treatment is the best treatment so as not to expose patients to potentially unnecessary and harmful treatment and to not promote antibiotic resistance in patients, which would potentially make treating diabetic foot infections more challenging in the future. We still want to very closely monitor the wound every 2-7 days and promote wound healing with pressure offloading, keeping the wound and the surrounding skin clean and dry, and other non-antibiotic management for local wound care.What are some common bacteria?.When it is indicated to treat diabetic foot infections per the guidelines, recommendation 14 states to target aerobic gram positive pathogens only for people with a mild diabetes related foot infection. These pathogens include beta hemolytic streptococci and Staphylococcus aureus including methicillin-resistant strains if indicated. Additionally, recommendation 15 advises not to empirically target antibiotic therapy against Pseudomonas aeruginosa in cases of diabetes-related foot infection in temperate climates. However, it is appropriate to use empirical treatment of P. aeruginosa if it has been isolated from cultures of the affected site within the previous few weeks or in a person with moderate or severe infection who resides in tropical/subtropical climates.Antibiotic Treatment Duration RecommendationThe final recommendation we have time to discuss in this episode is regarding antibiotic treatment duration. For mild infections, oral antibiotics (such as cephalexin or Bactrim) for a duration of 1-2 weeks is appropriate. However, if the infection is improving but is extensive and is resolving slower than expected or if the patient has severe peripheral artery disease, it is reasonable to consider extending treatment for up to 3-4 weeks.For moderate or severe infections without osteomyelitis, a total treatment duration of 2-4 weeks is recommended starting initially with IV antibiotics before transitioning to oral antibiotics. Antibiotic selection will depend on multiple factors, such as recent antibiotic use, or MRSA risk factors. For example, if the patient took antibiotics recently, they could receive Zosyn® and ceftriaxone. If osteomyelitis is present, antibiotic treatment duration can be anywhere from 2 days to 6 weeks depending on the amount of source control achieved. Ideally, we should wait to have bone resection before giving antibiotics, but we know that antibiotics are given promptly in the ER.In the cases of a resected infected bone or joint (when complete source control is achieved), a duration of 2-5 days is recommended, starting with IV antibiotics before transitioning to oral antibiotics. If there is minor amputation of the infected foot but there remains a positive wound culture or positive margins are seen on pathology (inflammatory cells are seen at the proximal margin of the amputated section), a 3-week antibiotic treatment duration is recommended, again starting with IV before transitioning to oral antibiotics.For diabetes-related foot osteomyelitis without bone resection or amputation, a 6-week course of antibiotics is recommended, again initially with IV antibiotics before transitioning to oral. In all the situations where there is a transition from IV to oral antibiotics, this transition may only occur once there are clinical signs of improvement, for example, improving erythema surrounding the wound, resolution of tenderness or purulent drainage, or SIRS criteria is no longer met.Summary: For more details regarding the 2023 update to the guidelines on the diagnosis and treatment of foot infection in persons with diabetes, please refer to the complete guidelines which can be accessed on the IWGDF Guidelines website and via the citations listed in the References. As a reminder, this podcast episode is not an exhaustive review of the guidelines, but, instead, a brief introduction to some of the recommendations. Thank you for listening and I hope you learned something new!_____________________________Conclusion: Now we conclude episode number 155 “Diabetic foot guidelines.” Future Dr. Perez started this episode with an introduction about the new guidelines to screen for lung cancer, then future Dr. Danusantoso gave an excellent summary about the classification and treatment of diabetic foot infections. Our patients with diabetes must have foot self-awareness and report any concerns to their family physicians or podiatrists so they can get prompt treatment.This week we thank Hector Arreaza, Luz Perez, and Maria Danusantoso.

Marissa Lennox is joined by Dr. Hayley Wickenheiser, a legendary former Canadian hockey player who won five Olympic medals with Canada women's national ice hockey team. Hayley retired from hockey in 2017 and the IOC in 2022. She is currently serving as the Assistant General Manager of Player Development for the Toronto Maple Leafs and is a practicing Family and Emergency medicine doctor. It's Lung Cancer Awareness Month. To mark the occasion, Hayley has partnered with the Be the MVP – Change the Odds campaign which aims to empower Canadians to take charge of their own health by increasing their awareness of lung cancer, including the related risk factors, signs and symptoms, and the importance of early detection. In this special one-on-one conversation with Marissa, Hayley details what the campaign is all about, why early detection of lung cancer is so important and how she feels empowered to help change the odds.

THE MEDICAL RECORD: NURSES HAVE ADDITIONAL PRESCRIBING POWERS NOW 12-12:30 PM Marissa Lennox is joined by Dr. Alisa Naiman, Family Physician and Founder and Medical Director of The Medical Station in Toronto, Dr. Malcolm Moore, Medical Oncologist, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, and Dr. Fahad Razak, General Internist at Unity Health Toronto. Ontario registered nurses will now be able to independently prescribe medications including birth control and topical antibiotics. It's all part of a strategy by the province for patients to get certain prescriptions faster. The Ontario Medical Association (OMA), however, believes that this is the wrong approach because it won't give patients “the comprehensive care that a primary care physician offers”. Do our panelists agree? Meanwhile, according to leaked documents that were made public by the Alberta NDP, the Alberta government under Premier Danielle Smith plans to make big changes to its healthcare system including dismantling its province wide healthcare provider and potentially selling off its continuing care facilities. But why? An official announcement by Alberta's government is expected to come out today on that.  And, a new study led by Canadian researchers shows us that one third of the world's population may be at high risk of smart phone addiction. So what are the negative health implications of that? And, finally, our panel reacts to a study about the connection between our sleeping habits and cardiovascular health. IT'S LUNG CANCER AWARENESS MONTH 12:30-1 PM Marissa Lennox is now joined by Dr. Hayley Wickenheiser, Legendary former Canadian hockey player who won five Olympic medals with Canada women's national ice hockey team.

We pre-recorded today's conversation with Dr. Shalini Reddy, Thoracic Surgeon and Medical Director of Thoracic Surgery at Valley Health's Winchester Medical Center. November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month. As part of our community health partnership with Valley Health, our conversation this month focused on lung cancer screenings, the importance of having them BEFORE symptoms appear and the changes to who "qualifies." The American Cancer Society estimates that about 236,740 new cases of lung cancer will be diagnosed in the U.S. in 2022. Lung cancer remains the number one cancer killer, accounting for more cancer deaths than breast, colon and prostate cancer combined. The ACS estimates that more than 4,600 people in Virginia and West Virginia combined will die of lung cancer in 2022. Dr. Reddy explained that in February 2022, Medicare expanded coverage for lung cancer screening for qualifying beneficiaries. Plus the screening criteria was expanded. Screening is recommended for adults without symptoms who are at high risk for developing lung cancer. Screening eligibility criteria include: Adult smokers and ex-smokers age 50 and older (previously, eligibility began at age 55) Current smokers with a 20-pack year history (previously 30 pack years) of tobacco smoking Former smokers who have quit within the past 15 years Low dose CT screenings are available at all six Valley Health hospitals. It is one of the easiest screening exams to have, and it takes less than 10 minutes to perform. If criteria for a low dose lung CT screening are met, Medicare and most insurance plans will pay for yearly screenings. Financial assistance may be available for individuals who meet screening criteria but do not have insurance to cover this screening. For more information: valleyhealthlink.com/our-services/imaging/low-dose-lung-ct/ We also talked about Valley Health's Lung Cancer Program. In 2019, Winchester Medical Center was the first hospital in VA to be designated a Care Continuum Center of Excellence for lung cancer care by the GO2 Foundation for Lung Cancer. Valley Health has one of the most comprehensive pulmonary/thoracic programs in the region for the diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment of lung cancer. The program's multidisciplinary team includes specialists in thoracic surgery, radiology, interventional radiology, pathology, pulmonology, interventional pulmonology, medical oncology, radiation oncology and thoracic patient navigation. Lung Cancer Screening - Valley Health hopes to find lung cancer at its earliest, more treatable stage and work towards eliminating late-stage lung cancer. Low dose CT lung screening is available at all Valley Health hospitals for adults with a history of smoking who are at high risk of lung cancer. The screening program also includes patients who have an incidental lung nodule found during routine or emergency imaging. Valley Health's multidisciplinary Lung Nodule Clinic specializes in expediting care for patients with lung nodules or lesions and provides assessment and options for further testing and follow-up. The clinic's team of pulmonary and thoracic specialists also includes specialists in diagnostic radiology, interventional radiology, radiation oncology and medical oncology. Advanced Diagnosis – WMC interventional pulmonary specialists use robot-assisted technology combined with endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) for diagnosis and staging in one procedure. This technology is also used to accurately mark lung lesions for more targeted radiation therapy as well as surgery. In 2019, WMC was the first facility in the broader region to acquire Intuitive Surgical's ION™ Endoluminal System to perform robotic-assisted bronchoscopy. The ION system enables minimally invasive biopsy in difficult-to-reach peripheral areas of the lung. The Valley Health team has completed more than 250 ION cases. Minimally Invasive Surgery - The hospital's thoracic surgeons are experienced in minimally invasive video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) and robot-assisted techniques using the da Vinci® XI™ Surgical System. Coupled with remarkable improvements in post-operative pain management and enhanced recovery protocols, these techniques help patients feel better and return home sooner. Dr. Reddy and the Valley Health team have completed 685 robot-assisted thoracic procedures since the surgical robotics program started at WMC six years ago. Cancer Treatment and Support - Patients who receive treatment for lung cancer at the Valley Health Cancer Center at WMC will have the personal support of a thoracic patient navigator and access to treatment options such as advanced chemotherapy, radiation therapy and interventional radiology if indicated. The best way to prevent lung cancer is to stop smoking, and Valley Health provides resources to help. For information: www.valleyhealthlink.com/quitsmoking

November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month, so we chatted for our Community Health episode (in partnership with Valley Health) with Dr. Shalini Reddy, thoracic surgeon & Medical Director of thoracic surgery at Winchester Medical Center. She told us about the special low dose CT lung screening event offered at Valley Health's six hospitals during the entire month of November. The screenings are for uninsured individuals who meet screening eligibility criteria: adult smokers and ex-smokers between the ages of 55 to 80 with a 30-pack year history of smoking are most likely to benefit from LDCT screening. A $20 payment is required day of screening. Those interested in the lung screening should call 540-536-LUNG (5864) to determine eligibility.  For more information: valleyhealthlink.com/our-services/imaging/low-dose-lung-ct/ We also talked about the technological advancements in diagnosis & treatment as well as how early detection can be life saving. The American Cancer Society estimates that about 235,760 new cases of lung cancer will be diagnosed in the U.S. in 2021. Lung cancer remains the number one cancer killer, accounting for more cancer deaths than breast, colon and prostate cancer combined. The ACS estimates that more than 8,000 people in Virginia and West Virginia combined will die of lung cancer in 2021. For more information about lung cancer care at Valley Health, click here.
