There is no way around it, breast cancer is hard. But as our guest today will tell you, trying to remain upbeat throughout treatment can have a positive impact on your life. Amy Elizabeth Chalmers Hicks brings a unique perspective. She was adopted so she doesn't know her biological family's health history, leaving her to navigate two cancer diagnoses without the insights many rely on to understand risk. However, despite these unknowns, when she found a lump, she stayed at ease, started treatment right away, surrounded herself with people who were loving and supportive and made a deep commitment to keeping a positive attitude. She is here today to share her inspiring story with us.

In this episode of Precision and Progress: Radiotherapy in Oncology, Hirsch Matani, MD, and Elizabeth Zhang-Velten, MD, co-hosted a discussion with Valentina Bonev, MD, DABS, FACS, FSSO, about the interplay between surgery and radiation in breast cancer care.

X-RAYS, SURVEILLANCE, AND MOTION Colleague Anika Burgess, Flashes of Brilliance. The discovery of X-rays in 1895 sparked a "new photography" craze, though the radiation caused severe injuries to early practitioners and subjects. Photography also entered the realm of surveillance; British authorities used hidden cameras to photograph suffragettes, while doctors documented asylum patients without consent. Finally, Eadweard Muybridge's experiments captured horses in motion, settling debates about locomotion and laying the technical groundwork for the future development of motion pictures.

Men often don't think of themselves as having breasts. For men, it's their chest or their “pecs.” So it may come as a surprise to learn men are at risk of breast cancer. The fact is men have breast tissue and can get breast cancer. In the U.S., less than 1% of all cases occur in men, but it does happen. Today we are joined by Jake Messier, a man living with metastatic breast cancer, after being misdiagnosed twice and finally learning in August 2024 that it had advanced. Jake openly shares his story across active social media platforms and is dedicated to spreading awareness of male breast cancer, as well as the distinct mental and physical health struggles that go largely unaddressed when a man is navigating what is typically seen as a woman's disease.

Crazy Wisdom: Read the notes at at podcastnotes.org. Don't forget to subscribe for free to our newsletter, the top 10 ideas of the week, every Monday --------- In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop speaks with Aaron Borger, founder and CEO of Orbital Robotics, about the emerging world of space robotics and satellite capture technology. The conversation covers a fascinating range of topics including Borger's early experience launching AI-controlled robotic arms to space as a student, his work at Blue Origin developing lunar lander software, and how his company is developing robots that can capture other spacecraft for refueling, repair, and debris removal. They discuss the technical challenges of operating in space - from radiation hardening electronics to dealing with tumbling satellites - as well as the broader implications for the space economy, from preventing the Kessler effect to building space-based recycling facilities and mining lunar ice for rocket fuel. You can find more about Aaron Borger's work at Orbital Robots and follow him on LinkedIn for updates on upcoming missions and demos. Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Introduction to orbital robotics, satellite capture, and why sensing and perception matter in space 05:00 The Kessler Effect, cascading collisions, and why space debris is an economic problem before it is an existential one 10:00 From debris removal to orbital recycling and the idea of turning junk into infrastructure 15:00 Long-term vision of space factories, lunar ice, and refueling satellites to bootstrap a lunar economy 20:00 Satellite upgrading, servicing live spacecraft, and expanding today's narrow space economy 25:00 Costs of collision avoidance, ISS maneuvers, and making debris capture economically viable 30:00 Early experiments with AI-controlled robotic arms, suborbital launches, and reinforcement learning in microgravity 35:00 Why deterministic AI and provable safety matter more than LLM hype for spacecraft control 40:00 Radiation, single event upsets, and designing space-safe AI systems with bounded behavior 45:00 AI, physics-based world models, and autonomy as the key to scaling space operations 50:00 Manufacturing constraints, space supply chains, and lessons from rocket engine software 55:00 The future of space startups, geopolitics, deterrence, and keeping space usable for humanityKey Insights1. Space Debris Removal as a Growing Economic Opportunity: Aaron Borger explains that orbital debris is becoming a critical problem with approximately 3,000-4,000 defunct satellites among the 15,000 total satellites in orbit. The company is developing robotic arms and AI-controlled spacecraft to capture other satellites for refueling, repair, debris removal, and even space station assembly. The economic case is compelling - it costs about $1 million for the ISS to maneuver around debris, so if their spacecraft can capture and remove multiple pieces of debris for less than that cost per piece, it becomes financially viable while addressing the growing space junk problem.2. Revolutionary AI Safety Methods Enable Space Robotics: Traditional NASA engineers have been reluctant to use AI for spacecraft control due to safety concerns, but Orbital Robotics has developed breakthrough methods combining reinforcement learning with traditional control systems that can mathematically prove the AI will behave safely. Their approach uses physics-based world models rather than pure data-driven learning, ensuring deterministic behavior and bounded operations. This represents a significant advancement over previous AI approaches that couldn't guarantee safe operation in the high-stakes environment of space.3. Vision for Space-Based Manufacturing and Resource Utilization: The long-term vision extends beyond debris removal to creating orbital recycling facilities that can break down captured satellites and rebuild them into new spacecraft using existing materials in orbit. Additionally, the company plans to harvest propellant from lunar ice, splitting it into hydrogen and oxygen for rocket fuel, which could kickstart a lunar economy by providing economic incentives for moon-based operations while supporting the growing satellite constellation infrastructure.4. Unique Space Technology Development Through Student Programs: Borger and his co-founder gained unprecedented experience by launching six AI-controlled robotic arms to space through NASA's student rocket programs while still undergraduates. These missions involved throwing and catching objects in microgravity using deep reinforcement learning trained in simulation and tested on Earth. This hands-on space experience is extremely rare and gave them practical knowledge that informed their current commercial venture.5. Hardware Challenges Require Innovative Engineering Solutions: Space presents unique technical challenges including radiation-induced single event upsets that can reset processors for up to 10 seconds, requiring "passive safe" trajectories that won't cause collisions even during system resets. Unlike traditional space companies that spend $100,000 on radiation-hardened processors, Orbital Robotics uses automotive-grade components made radiation-tolerant through smart software and electrical design, enabling cost-effective operations while maintaining safety.6. Space Manufacturing Supply Chain Constraints: The space industry faces significant manufacturing bottlenecks with 24-week lead times for space-grade components and limited suppliers serving multiple companies simultaneously. This creates challenges for scaling production - Orbital Robotics needs to manufacture 30 robotic arms per year within a few years. They've partnered with manufacturers who previously worked on Blue Origin's rocket engines to address these supply chain limitations and achieve the scale necessary for their ambitious deployment timeline.7. Emerging Space Economy Beyond Communications: While current commercial space activities focus primarily on communications satellites (with SpaceX Starlink holding 60% market share) and Earth observation, new sectors are emerging including AI data centers in space and orbital manufacturing. The convergence of AI, robotics, and space technology is enabling more sophisticated autonomous operations, from predictive maintenance of rocket engines using sensor data to complex orbital maneuvering and satellite servicing that was previously impossible with traditional control methods.

In this episode of SpaceTime, we uncover groundbreaking astronomical events and the latest advancements in space exploration.First Ever Super Kilonova DetectedAstronomers have made a significant discovery with the potential detection of the first ever super kilonova explosion. This extraordinary event, cataloged as AT 2025ULZ, is believed to have been triggered by a double supernova explosion, producing both gravitational waves and electromagnetic radiation. Lead author Manzi Kasliwal from Caltech's Palomar Observatory discusses how this unique phenomenon could reshape our understanding of stellar evolution and the formation of heavy elements in the universe. With only one confirmed kilonova event to date, this new discovery presents an exciting opportunity to explore the complexities of cosmic explosions.Blue Ghost 2 Spacecraft Shake TestFirefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost Mission 2 spacecraft has undergone rigorous shake testing at NASA's Environmental Test Laboratory. This critical assessment simulates the intense vibrations and acoustics experienced during launch, ensuring the spacecraft can withstand the harsh conditions of a rocket ascent. JPL engineer Michael Williams explains the importance of these tests in preparing spacecraft for successful missions, as the Blue Ghost 2 aims to deliver multiple payloads to the lunar far side next year.Shenzhou 20 Capsule Returns SafelyChina's Shenzhou 20 spacecraft has successfully completed an unmanned return to Earth after sustaining damage from space debris. Initially intended to bring a crew of Tigernauts back home, mission managers opted for a safe return without the crew due to concerns over a crack in the capsule's viewport. This decision highlights the importance of safety in space missions, while also providing valuable data for future flights.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesAstrophysical Journal LettersNASA ReportsNature CommunicationsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.(00:00:00) This is Space Time Series 28, Episode 152 for broadcast on 26 December 2025(00:00:47) Astronomers detect what could be the first ever super kilonova explosion(00:15:30) Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost 2 spacecraft undergoes shake testing at NASA's JPL(00:20:10) China's Shenzhou 20 capsule returns safely to Earth after damage from space debris(00:25:00) New study reveals the benefits of swearing during physical exertion

Tule Fog is officially explained as a natural weather phenomenon—but history shows the U.S. government has repeatedly conducted atmospheric, chemical, and weather-related experiments over California, raising uncomfortable questions that are rarely discussed. From Operation Sea-Spray to other declassified military experiments involving airborne particles, California has a long, documented history of being used as a testing ground. The question is not if experiments happened—but whether their long-term effects were ever fully understood or acknowledged.Raised By Giants LInkTree: https://linktr.ee/raisedbygiantspod

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom podcast, host Stewart Alsop talks with Umair Siddiqui about a wide range of interconnected topics spanning plasma physics, aerospace engineering, fusion research, and the philosophy of building complex systems, drawing on Umair's path from hands-on plasma experiments and nonlinear physics to founding and scaling RF plasma thrusters for small satellites at Phase Four; along the way they discuss how plasmas behave at material boundaries, why theory often breaks in real-world systems, how autonomous spacecraft propulsion actually works, what space radiation does to electronics and biology, the practical limits and promise of AI in scientific discovery, and why starting with simple, analog approaches before adding automation is critical in both research and manufacturing, grounding big ideas in concrete engineering experience. You can find Umair on Linkedin.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Opening context and plasma rockets, early interests in space, cars, airplanes 05:00 Academic path into space plasmas, mechanical engineering, and hands-on experiments 10:00 Grad school focus on plasma physics, RF helicon sources, and nonlinear theory limits 15:00 Bridging fusion research and space propulsion, Department of Energy funding context 20:00 Spin-out to Phase Four, building CubeSat RF plasma thrusters and real hardware 25:00 Autonomous propulsion systems, embedded controllers, and spacecraft fault handling 30:00 Radiation in space, single-event upsets, redundancy vs rad-hard electronics 35:00 Analog-first philosophy, mechanical thinking, and resisting premature automation 40:00 AI in science, low vs high hanging fruit, automation of experiments and insight 45:00 Manufacturing philosophy, incremental scaling, lessons from Elon Musk and production 50:00 Science vs engineering, concentration of effort, power, and progress in discoveryKey InsightsOne of the central insights of the episode is that plasma physics sits at the intersection of many domains—fusion energy, space environments, and spacecraft propulsion—and progress often comes from working directly at those boundaries. Umair Siddiqui emphasizes that studying how plasmas interact with materials and magnetic fields revealed where theory breaks down, not because the math is sloppy, but because plasmas are deeply nonlinear systems where small changes can produce outsized effects.The conversation highlights how hands-on experimentation is essential to real understanding. Building RF plasma sources, diagnostics, and thrusters forced constant confrontation with reality, showing that models are only approximations. This experimental grounding allowed insights from fusion research to transfer unexpectedly into practical aerospace applications like CubeSat propulsion, bridging fields that rarely talk to each other.A key takeaway is the difference between science and engineering as intent, not method. Science aims to understand, while engineering aims to make something work, but in practice they blur. Developing space hardware required scientific discovery along the way, demonstrating that companies can and often must do real science to achieve ambitious engineering goals.Umair articulates a strong philosophy of analog-first thinking, arguing that keeping systems simple and mechanical for as long as possible preserves clarity. Premature digitization or automation can obscure understanding, consume mental bandwidth, and even lock in errors before the system is well understood.The episode offers a grounded view of automation and AI in science, framing it in terms of low- versus high-hanging fruit. AI excels at exploring large parameter spaces and finding optima, but humans are still needed to judge physical plausibility, interpret results, and set meaningful directions.Space engineering reveals harsh realities about radiation, cosmic rays, and electronics, where a single particle can flip a bit or destroy a transistor. This drives design trade-offs between radiation-hardened components and redundant systems, reinforcing how environment fundamentally shapes engineering decisions.Finally, the discussion suggests that scientific and technological progress accelerates with concentrated focus and resources. Whether through governments, institutions, or individuals, periods of rapid advancement tend to follow moments where attention, capital, and intent are sharply aligned rather than diffusely spread.

In this episode of SpaceTime, we tackle some of the most intriguing cosmic mysteries and discoveries that could reshape our understanding of the universe.Unraveling Uranus: The Mystery of Its Radiation BeltsFor 39 years, the intense electron radiation belts surrounding Uranus have puzzled scientists since NASA's Voyager 2 flyby in 1986 revealed unexpectedly high levels of radiation. New analyses suggest these findings may be explained by a solar wind structure interacting with the Uranian system during Voyager 2's visit. This research opens up new questions about the fundamental physics governing these extreme energy levels and the unique characteristics of Uranus itself.Mapping Martian River Systems: A Historic FirstA groundbreaking study has mapped ancient river systems on Mars, identifying 16 large drainage basins that could have supported life billions of years ago. By synthesizing previous data on Martian river valleys, lakes, and canyons, scientists have outlined how these systems could have formed a global network, similar to Earth's most biodiverse river basins. This research enhances our understanding of Mars' geological history and its potential for past life.2026 Australasian Sky Guide ReleasedThe 2026 Australasian Sky Guide has officially been released, offering skywatchers a detailed monthly map of celestial events.

Dr. Allison Kendall is back on the podcast, and she brings with her a fascinating deep dive into a completely new approach to treating feline idiopathic cystitis (FIC). Yes—you read that right. Radiation therapy, traditionally reserved for oncology patients, is now being explored as a potential tool for one of the most frustrating and painful conditions our feline friends face. Dr. Kendall walks us through the rationale, the early clinical findings, and why this modality might just shift our entire perspective on chronic lower urinary tract disease in cats. It's innovative, surprising, and exactly the kind of boundary-pushing veterinary medicine we love to highlight. From there, we pivot smoothly (or as smoothly as you can pivot when discussing irritated bladders) into another urinary challenge: difficult stones. Dr. Kendall unpacks the diagnostic traps, the surgical dilemmas, and the metabolic mysteries behind those stubborn uroliths that refuse to behave. Expect practical tips, thoughtful insights, and a few “aha” moments that will make you rethink your approach to these cases in practice. Another great conversation with one of our favorite guests: equal parts science, clinical pearls, and inspiration for anyone who has ever managed a blocked cat at 3 a.m.Thanks for tuning in to the Purr Podcast with Dr. Susan and Dr. Jolle!If you enjoyed today's episode, don't forget to subscribe, rate, and leave us a review—it really helps other cat lovers and vet nerds find the show.

Children can be one of life's greatest blessings. Breast cancer survivors Alex Miles-Stiffler and Sara Galher-Barlow long for larger families but their diagnoses put those dreams farther and farther out of reach. Alex struggled to start a family before her diagnosis. The heart ache she felt after two miscarriages was unbearable at times, and her fertility challenges only grew after breast cancer treatment, but she wasn't giving up on the family she dreamed of having. Sara always knew she wanted several children. She was blessed with a precious daughter prior to being diagnosed, but her cancer was aggressive and treatment couldn't wait. She had to forego egg preservation, and the uncertainty of fertility along with the cost of fertility treatments will make it harder to grow her family.

"Working as an oncology infusion nurse, being oncology certified, attending chapter meetings, going to ONS Congress® has really taught me plenty. But being an oncology patient taught me way more. I know firsthand the fears 'you have cancer' brings. Then going through further testing, CT scans, MRIs, genetics, the whole preparation for surgery was something I never considered when I treated a breast cancer patient," ONS member Catherine Parsons, RN, OCN®, told Valerie Burger, MA, MS, RN, OCN®, CPN, member of the ONS 50th anniversary planning committee, during a conversation about her experience being an oncology nurse and cancer survivor. Burger spoke with Parsons and ONS members Margaret Hopkins, MSN, RN, OCN®, HNB-BC, and Afton Dickerson, MSN, AGACNP-BCP, CBCN®, AOCNP®, CGRA, about how cancer survivorship has shaped their careers as oncology nurses and personal lives.

I thought I knew the side effects. There's so much I didn't know. There's so much behind the scenes before a patient comes and sits in my chair. The stuff that they go through I now can understand. It surprised me how much I didn't know." TS 11:39 Hopkins: "I had been thinking I'm going to be that hero, that I can go to work. I work at night, get 8 am radiation appointments, and go home and go to sleep and wake up and go to work again because everyone said, 'Oh, it's not that bad. Radiation will be okay. You can work.' … But the real challenge for me was I didn't know how to be a patient and a nurse at the same time. And my first radiation treatment, I go in there, and I change into the gown, and then I started cleaning up because I was getting treatment done at the hospital where I worked, and were taught if you see a mess, you clean it. So I was acting like a nurse. And I almost wanted to go help the other patients, but I couldn't because I had to focus on healing." TS 15:36 Dickerson: "What made the difference for me were the nurses who didn't just treat my illness. They treated me as a whole person—my emotions, my feelings. They made me smile. They would hold my hand or just take a moment to really ask, 'Hey, how are you?' And those small, little gestures made me feel worthy, made me feel like a human. I always tell nurses it's not just about the chemo; it's about the connection. Sometimes your presence is the most healing thing that you can offer to your patient." TS 30:52

In 1986 the world watched in horror as radiation spewed from reactor number four at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine - then part of the Soviet Union. Releasing more radioactivity into the atmosphere than the atomic bombs that were dropped on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Ngagasaki in World War Two, it prompted a mass evacuation and the enforcement of a 30 kilometre exclusion zone to prevent further contamination and loss of life. It remains the worst nuclear accident in history. Remarkably however, nature found a way to survive - and award-winning UK science writer, Alex Riley will tell you that there are many other examples of life in the extreme - if you know where to look. Alex is the author of Super Natural - How Life Thrives in Impossible Places. He speaks to Susie about nature's incredible resilience - and what life could look like on other planets.

Content Warning: This episode discusses eating disorders, starvation, and medical neglect. Listener discretion is advised. This week on Pathology with Dr. Priya, a Zone 7 series, Sheryl McCollum and Dr. Priya Banerjee look at some of the most painful and complex ways a body can fail, from starvation and radiation exposure to delayed deaths that can take years to claim a life. Dr. Priya Breaks down the science of how the body deteriorates during starvation, explains why children in famine zones appear bloated, and discusses both abuse and eating disorder cases that show the psychological and biological devastation of prolonged deprivation. They also explore radiation-linked illnesses, the hidden risks of environmental exposure, and what happens when a wound or poisoning leads to death years later. Through every case, Dr. Priya explains the forensic details behind a “slow death” and why, for the body, nothing about it is slow. Highlights • (0:00) Sheryl welcome listeners and introduces the topic: slow deaths • (3:00) Why Thanksgiving reminds Sheryl of slow deaths and what starvation really is • (4:00) Dr. Priya explains how starvation breaks the body down from within, and how it can stem from both illness and abuse • (12:45) Dr. Priya describes why starving children often appear bloated and the biology behind kwashiorkor• (16:15) Radiation exposure: how time, dose, and distance determine long-term damage • (20:45) Delayed deaths, paralysis, and the challenge of proving causation • (26:15) "Death by a thousand cuts": how blood loss from minor wounds can still be lethal, and how even old wounds can become deadly decades later • (29:00) Closing thoughts: Sheryl and Dr. Priya reflect on the cruelty of slow deaths About the Hosts Dr. Priya Banerjee is a board-certified forensic pathologist with extensive experience in death investigation, clinical forensics, and courtroom testimony.

 JR Richardson expressed overwhelming disbelief at his cancer-free diagnosis, stating he had been mentally prepared to die and was still recalibrating his mindset about surviving for his two children aged 15 and 17.Medical misdiagnoses occurred from 2018-2021 when JR's symptoms including pressure in his taint area were attributed to a fistula, fissure, and prostatitis rather than recognizing his PSA level of 21 as a cancer indicator.Healthcare providers failed to communicate the significance of JR's PSA level of 21, simply recommending a blood test without urgency, leading to a delayed diagnosis when his PSA reached 85.6 by the time of proper testing.Oncologist provided a grim prognosis of two to five years with palliative care options including abiraterone, steroids, and hormone blockers, offering no alternative treatment choices.JR declined conventional treatment initially, having been familiar with cannabis oil since Phoenix Tears and connected with Valerie Corral from WAMM, the first cannabis cooperative in the United States.Valerie Corral was identified as the pioneer who developed the 4:1 cannabis ratio and successfully sued the federal government after a farm raid, winning her case with Santa Cruz County support.Cannabis oil treatment began with JR taking a gram of oil he had made, but Corey Yelland advised switching to 4:1 ratio rectal administration for better effectiveness.PSA levels dropped dramatically from 85.6 to 29 within one month of starting 4:1 rectal cannabis treatment, and further decreased to 3.82 after receiving one hormone injection.Continued cannabis treatment brought PSA levels to normal range, with readings of 2.33, 1.82, and stabilizing around 1.72, demonstrating sustained improvement.Stanford Medical provided a second opinion contradicting the initial oncologist's palliative approach, recommending the Stampede Study protocol with pinpoint radiation on lymph nodes and two small spinal spots.Radiation treatment decision was made after consultation with a knowledgeable technician who explained advances in precision radiation technology, addressing JR's concerns about radiation damage based on his aunt's experience.Daily cannabis dosage consisted of at least one gram of CBG orally and two grams rectally with 10-20% lipid addition, plus additional oral THC, prioritizing survival over psychoactive effects.Valerie Corral's experience indicated that long-term cancer survivors in her practice had used both Western medicine and cannabis oil, influencing JR's decision to combine treatments.Recent scan results showed no metabolically active disease in previously affected areas including nodes and spine, confirming complete remission and validating the combined treatment approach.

Patient navigation has become one of the most powerful tools for improving breast cancer outcomes — and in Native American communities, it can be lifesaving. From long travel distances to specialty care, to navigating complex referral systems, to ensuring communication is culturally grounded and respectful, navigation helps Native patients feel supported every step of the way. In celebration of Native American Heritage Month, we're joined by Linda Burhansstipanov, MSPH, DrPH (Cherokee Nation) — founder of the Native American Cancer Research Corp. and a pioneer in developing culturally appropriate patient navigation models for Indigenous American communities. Dr. Burhansstipanov shares insights about how navigation strengthens trust, improves follow-through on screening and treatment, and supports families and entire communities. She also breaks down practical ways health systems and partners like Komen can work together to meet people where they are and help Native patients feel seen, respected and cared for.

In Episode 2 of "Exposed"  from our friends at San Francisco Public Press, we explore a little-known chapter in San Francisco's nuclear era: human experiments carried out to assess the health effects of radiation. Scientists from the Naval Radiological Defense Laboratory, located at the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard, designed and executed at least 24 experiments that involved gathering data from humans — in some cases, injecting test subjects with radioisotopes or having them ingest fluids laced with trace amounts of radioactive materials. Even football players from the San Francisco 49ers were enrolled as test subjects in these so-called tracer studies. We hear from military veterans who were sent on a mysterious mission to spread radioactive substances onto rooftops at an Army base near Pittsburg, Calif., for an experiment the radiation lab played a role in designing. Some recount experiences of witnessing nuclear bomb blasts in the Nevada desert. We also examine a national pattern of human radiation experiments revealed by Eileen Welsome, the author of a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigation, who shined a light on similar practices conducted by government facilities, hospitals and other institutions.  This miniseries first aired on Making Contact in February 2025.

"Any time the patient hears the word 'cancer,' they shut down a little bit, right? They may not hear everything that the oncologist or urologist, or whoever is talking to them about their treatment options, is saying. The oncology nurse is a great person to sit down with the patient and go over the information with them at a level they can understand a little bit more. To go over all the treatment options presented by the physician, and again, make sure that we understand their goals of care," ONS member Clara Beaver, DNP, RN, AOCNS®, ACNS-BC, manager of clinical education and clinical nurse specialist at Karmanos Cancer Institute in Detroit, MI, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about prostate cancer treatment considerations for nurses.  Music Credit: "Fireflies and Stardust" by Kevin MacLeod Licensed under Creative Commons by Attribution 3.0  Earn 0.5 contact hours of nursing continuing professional development (NCPD) by listening to the full recording and completing an evaluation at courses.ons.org by November 21, 2026.

And the medical oncologists usually are not consulted until the patient is at a greater stage of prostate cancer. I find that it's important to state because a lot of our patients start with urologists, and by the time they've come to us, they're a lot further staged. But once a prostate cancer has been suspected, the patient needs to be staged for the extent of disease prior to that physician making any treatment recommendations. The staging includes doing a core biopsy of the prostate gland. During this core biopsy, they take multiple different cores at different areas throughout the prostate to really look to see what the cancer looks like." TS 1:46 "[For] the very low- and low-risk group, the most common [treatment] is active surveillance. ... Patients can be offered other options such as radiation therapy or surgery if they're not happy with active surveillance. ... The intermediate-risk group has favorable and unfavorable [status]. So, if they're a favorable, their Gleason score is usually a bit lower, things are not as advanced. These patients are offered active surveillance and then either radical prostatectomy with possible removal of lymph nodes or radiation—external beam or brachytherapy. If a patient has unfavorable intermediate risk, they are offered radical prostatectomy with removal of lymph nodes, external radiation therapy plus hormone therapy, or external radiation with brachytherapy. All three of these are offered to patients, although most frequently we see that our patients are taken in for radical prostatectomy. For the high- or very high-risk [group], patients are offered radiation therapy with hormone therapy, typically for one to three years. And then radical prostatectomy with removal of lymph nodes could also be offered for those patients." TS 7:55 "Radiation can play a role in any risk group depending on the patient's preference. ... The types of radiation that we use are external beam, brachytherapy, which is an internal therapy, and radiopharmaceuticals, [which are] more for advanced cancer, but we are seeing them used in prostate [cancer] as well. External beam radiation focuses on the tumor and any metastasis we may have with the tumor. It can be used in any risk [group] and for recurrence if radiation has not been done previously. If a patient has already been radiated to the pelvic area or to the prostate, radiation is usually not given again because we don't want to damage the patient any further. Brachytherapy is when we put radioactive pellets directly into the prostate. For early-stage prostate cancer, this can be given alone. And for patients who have a higher risk of the cancer growing outside the prostate, it can be given in combination with external beam radiation. It's important to note with brachytherapy, it cannot be used on patients who've had a transurethral resection of the prostate or any urinary problems. And if the patient has a large prostate, they may have to be on some hormone therapy prior to brachytherapy, just to shrink that prostate down a little bit to get the best effect. ... Radiopharmaceuticals treat the prostate-specific membrane antigen." TS 11:05 "The side effects of surgery are usually what deter the patient from wanting surgery. The first one is urinary incontinence. A lot of times, a patient has a lot of urinary incontinence after they have surgery. The other one is erectile dysfunction. A lot of patients may not want to have erectile dysfunction. Or, if having an erection is important to the patient, they may not want to have surgery to damage that. In this day and age, physicians have gotten a lot better at doing nerve-sparing surgeries. And so they really do try to do that so that the patient does not have any issues with erectile dysfunction after surgery. But [depending on] the extent of the cancer where it's growing around those nerves or there are other things going on, they may not be able to save those nerves." TS 15:26 "Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone, or LHRH antagonists or analogs, lower the amount of testosterone made by the testicles. We're trying to stop those hormones from growing to prevent the cancer. ... When we lower the testosterone very quickly, there can be a lot more side effects. But if we lower it a little bit less, we can maybe help prevent some of them. The side effects are important. When I was writing this up, I was thinking, 'Okay, this is basically what women go through when they go through menopause.' We're decreasing the estrogen. We're now decreasing the testosterone. So, the patients can have reduced or absent sexual desire, they can have gynecomastia, hot flashes, osteopenia, anemia, decreased mental sharpness, loss of muscle mass, weight gain, and fatigue." TS 17:50 "What we all need to remember is that no patient is the same. They may not have the same goals for treatment as the physicians or the nurses want for the patient. We talked about surgery as the most common treatment modality that's presented to patients, but it's not necessarily the option that they want. It's really important for healthcare professionals to understand their biases before talking to the patients and the family. It's also important to remember that not all patients are in heterosexual relationships, so we need to explain recovery after treatment to meet the needs of our patients and their sexual relationships, which is sometimes hard for us. But remembering that—especially gay men—they may not have the same recovery period as a heterosexual male when it comes to sexual relationships. So, making sure that we have those frank conversations with our patients and really check our biases prior to going in and talking with them." TS 27:16
