Host: Charles Turck, PharmD, BCPS, BCCCP Guest: Sairah Ahmed, MD The treatment landscape for relapsed/refractory (R/R) large B-cell lymphoma has significantly shifted, with CAR T-cell therapies now offering curative potential in the second-line setting. But these advances also raise important questions, like how to identify the right candidates and navigate logistical barriers to ensure timely, equitable access. Joining Dr. Charles Turck to explore these critical considerations is Dr. Saira Ahmed, Associate Professor in the Department of Lymphoma and Myeloma and the CAR T Program Director in the Department of Lymphoma and Myeloma at the MD Anderson Cancer Center.

Host: Charles Turck, PharmD, BCPS, BCCCP Guest: Hope S. Rugo, MD, FASCO Not only is PI3Kα the most common mutation seen in patients with HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer, but it's also associated with endocrine therapy resistance and more aggressive cancer growth. Given its prevalence and impact on outcomes, it's important to know how and when to test for this mutation and how emerging targeted therapies might change our approach in clinical practice. Joining Dr. Charles Turck to share her insights on PI3Kα testing and targeted therapies for HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer is Dr. Hope Rugo, Director of the Women's Cancers Program, Division Chief of Breast Medical Oncology and Professor of the Department of Medical Oncology and Therapeutics Research at City of Hope Comprehensive Cancer Center.

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. To learn more about the efficacy and safety of current and emerging PIK3CA-targeted therapies, Dr. Charles Turck speaks with Dr. Neil Iyengar, Co-Director of the Breast Oncology Program and Director of Cancer Survivorship Service at Winship Cancer Institute at Emory University.

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.

Guest: Brian Slomovitz, MD Our treatment approach for patients with endometrial cancer is evolving, with antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and biomarker-driven therapies showing promise. Dr. Brian Slomovitz highlights future directions that could redefine treatment pathways for patients with advanced or recurrent disease. Dr. Slomovitz is the Director of Gynecologic Oncology and Co-Chair of the Cancer Research Committee at Mount Sinai Medical Center as well as a Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Florida International University in Miami.

Host: Charles Turck, PharmD, BCPS, BCCCP Guest: Matthew Lunning, DO, FACP Despite FDA approvals and growing clinical integration, CAR T-cell therapies remain clouded by misconceptions, some of which could impact clinical decision-making and delay appropriate referrals. To help set the record straight on CAR T-cell therapy, Dr. Charles Turck speaks with Dr. Matthew Lunning about the realities of patient selection, safety, and access. Dr. Lunning is an Associate Professor in the Division of Hematology/Oncology at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.

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.

Guest: Yogindra Persuad Despite the promise of curative therapies for sickle cell disease, access and cost barriers highlight the ongoing need for disease-modifying treatments like hydroxyurea. Tune in to hear Dr. Yogindra Persuad, a physician in the Department of Hematology at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, discuss a multimodal approach to care, emphasizing research on oral agents and broader symptom management beyond pain.

Guest: Parul Rai Cardiopulmonary complications are a leading cause of early mortality in adults with sickle cell disease, with evidence showing that cardiac injury may begin as early as childhood. However, despite the severity of these issues, there are currently no uniform guidelines for asymptomatic cardiac screening in this population. Join Dr. Parul Rai, a physician in the Department of Hematology at St. Jude's Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, to learn about current research, early detection strategies, and the need for more sensitive diagnostic markers to prevent severe cardiac outcomes in patients with sickle cell disease.

Guest: Nidhi Bhatt Effective transition from pediatric to adult care should begin as early as age twelve for patients with sickle cell disease, incorporating factors like education, self-advocacy skills, and support from transition care coordinators. Tune in to hear Dr. Nidhi Bhatt, who works in the Department of Hematology at St. Jude Children's Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, discuss how involving patients and families early on helps identify barriers and improve long-term outcomes.

Guest: Yogindra Persuad For decades, hydroxyurea has been the cornerstone therapy for sickle cell disease, but new disease-modifying therapies, curative strategies, and gene therapies are expanding options for patients. While these advancing approaches come with some risks, they can help offer symptom relief, reduce complications, and give patients more choices when it comes to managing their sickle cell disease. Hear Dr. Yogindra Persuad, a physician in the Department of Hematology at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, walk through the history of sickle cell disease treatment and discuss the benefits and risks of these developing therapies.

Guest: Parul Rai Hydroxyurea and chronic transfusions remain cornerstone therapies in managing sickle cell disease, with proven benefits in reducing stroke risk and improving anemia. However, considerations remain, including their impact on cardiac health. Learn about these long-standing therapies and best practices for using them to manage sickle cell disease with Dr. Parul Rai. Dr. Rai is a physician in the Department of Hematology at St. Jude's Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee.

Guest: Tamatha Fenster, M.D., M.S. Tamatha Fenster, M.D., M.S., gynecologic surgeon at NewYork-Presbyterian and director of innovation and technology at The Weill Cornell Medicine Fibroid and Adenomyosis Center, explains how her team has developed a new 3D MRI technology to enhance patient outcomes in fibroid surgery. The novel software, called smartHER MRI, renders a 3D image of a patient's uterus to more accurately identify fibroids and their precise location, which can be used for both laparoscopic and robotic surgical procedures. In a pilot study analyzing smartHER MRI vs. 2D imaging, results demonstrated that surgeons who relied on traditional imaging had residual fibroids at the 6-month follow-up, while surgeons who used smartHER MRI had no residual fibroids with their patients. © 2025 NewYork-Presbyterian

Dr. Wilner would love your feedback! Click here to send a text! Thanks!Many thanks to Matt Holgotz-Hetling for joining me on this episode of The Art of Medicine with Dr. Andrew Wilner! Matt is a journalist and author of "If it Sounds Like a Quack…" His prior book, "A Libertarian Walks into a Bear," received 4.5 stars on Amazon and more than 1,000 reviews. During COVID, Matt took an interest in two conflicting forces he observed in American society. On the one hand, public health officials were trying to protect the public by recommending masks and closing schools. On the other hand, many independent-minded Americans insisted on making their own decisions, often eschewing masks and social distancing.  Matt was intrigued by fringe practitioners offering cures for COVID, which included baking soda, bleach, lasers, and leeches. Many alternative medicine practitioners had faith in their "One True Cure." Of course, it was difficult to eliminate greed and exploitation as supporting motivations. Matt and I had an in-depth conversation for nearly an hour! It was a treat to speak with such an informed and thoughtful author. Matt's newest book, "The Ghost Lab," should be available shortly. You can find all of Matt's books on Amazon. To learn more, please check out Matt's website:https://www.matt-hongoltzhetling.com#concussion #CTE #traumatic brain injury #TBI Please click "Fanmail" and share your feedback!If you enjoy an episode, please share with friends and colleagues.

Guest: Andrew Goldstone, M.D., Ph.D. On this episode of Advances in Care, host Erin Welsh talks to Dr. Andrew Goldstone, pediatric cardiac surgeon at NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia, about the groundbreaking heart transplant that saved the lives of three separate children. It was the first time doctors at NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital performed a split-root domino partial heart transplant. In this procedure, one child was transplanted with a new heart and their original heart was used to donate living pulmonary and aortic valves to two separate recipients in need. Dr. Goldstone, his colleague Dr. David Kalfa, and the rest of the team at NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia had previous experience with a handful of domino partial heart transplants where one patient is transplanted with a new heart and another receives a valve from the explanted heart. Those experiences helped prepare for the split-root domino, which took nearly 24 hours of extremely coordinated care. In addition to their efforts to increase the number of domino heart transplants being done, physician-researchers at the institution are leading new studies that are also helping improve living valve procurement and storage, allowing more children to receive heart valves that will grow with them and require less surgeries. © 2025 …

Dr. Wilner would love your feedback! Click here to send a text! Thanks!Many thanks to Justin Nabity, CFP, for joining me on this episode of The Art of Medicine with Dr. Andrew Wilner! Justin is a Founder and Partner of Physicians Thrive, a wealth planning and financial management service for doctors. Justin explained that optimizing the physician's work contract is the first step in successful financial planning. Physicians Thrive has access to over 100 advisors, attorneys, and negotiating specialists to ensure that physicians receive appropriate compensation, whether employed or self-employed. Next is a financial plan that for many people will include estate planning, a will, an emergency fund, power of attorney, disability, and life insurance options. Once physicians establish these basics, they can consider alternative investments, such as commercial real estate. One step to financial independence is to graduate from trading "time for money," the traditional physician model, to other types of income that pay passively. Justin recommended the book, "Rich Dad, Poor Dad," as required reading for those interested in establishing financial independence. During our 50-minute interview, Justin outlined the steps to become an "accredited investor," which provides access to alternative investments. These high-value real estate investments, such as apartment complexes, are not liquid investments. Investment in residential properties is another alternative, but it tends to have lower yields than commercial properties.  Justin defines "hurdle rate" and provides more insights into commercial property investment. He also explains "opportunity zones." Justin emphasized that physicians should support pending legislation HR10073, which would reverse Medicare reimbursement cuts. Physicians should reach out to their representatives in Congress and underscore the importance of this bill. To learn more, please contact Justin Nabity, please check out the website:https://physiciansthrive.com/ or Email: Please click "Fanmail" and share your feedback!If you enjoy an episode, please share with friends and colleagues.

She explained that new electric tools vs air-powered ones have made the patient experience more comfortable. I Dr. Rajpal employs AI in her practice, which has many applications. Digital imaging powered by AI has replaced the old-fashioned and not entirely pleasant putty used to take impressions. Aesthetics can be fully realized with improved accuracy and efficiency. AI offers a "second set of eyes" to examine dental X-rays to ensure nothing is missed. Robots also assist with implant surgery. AI can also provide a look into the future for patients to see what their smile will look like after a complete makeover. To contact Dr. Rajpal, please check out her website:https://bhdentalarts.com Instagram, TikTok, YouTube: @beverlyhillsdentalartsPlease click "Fanmail" and share your feedback!If you enjoy an episode, please share with friends and colleagues.

Dr. Wilner would love your feedback! Click here to send a text! Thanks!Many thanks to journalist Eric Garcia, author of "We're Not Broken: Changing the Autism Conversation," for joining me on this episode of The Art of Medicine with Dr. Andrew Wilner!  I heard Eric speak on another podcast, "Uniquely Human,” named after the best-selling book by autism specialist Barry Prizant. Eric is a successful journalist who covers Washington, DC. He is the Washington Bureau Chief of "The Independent."  Eric knows the political scene inside and out. He's exceptionally knowledgeable about how legislation affects people with disabilities, and more specifically, people like himself who are autistic. Eric has become the "go-to guy" for fellow journalists regarding questions about autism. During our 35-minute conversation, Eric emphasized that autism research should not focus on vaccines, which have already been proven not to cause autism. Instead, funding should be directed to help people with autism lead more fulfilling lives. Eric also self-identifies as a person with autism. Due to sensory processing issues, he doesn't drive a car. Eric also has trouble in noisy, crowded places and consequently waits until after rush hour before taking public transportation to work. He also still struggles with socialization. We also discussed how certain of his autistic traits have facilitated his career.  To hear more about what Eric's thoughts about autism, check out his book, "We're Not Broken: Changing the Autism Conversation."Please click "Fanmail" and share your feedback!If you enjoy an episode, please share with friends and colleagues.

Dr. Wilner would love your feedback! Click here to send a text! Thanks!Many thanks to Marc-David Munk, MD, MPH, author of "Urgent Calls from Distant Places: An Emergency Doctor's Notes about Life and Death on the Frontiers of East Africa," for joining me on this episode of The Art of Medicine with Dr. Andrew Wilner! He's an unusual doctor who wrote an amazing book! While in college, Dr. Munk began his medical career as an emergency medical technician. His interest in saving lives evolved into an academic career in emergency medicine. Overwhelmed by an imperfect healthcare system that rewarded productivity at the expense of quality, Dr. Munk volunteered for the AMREF Flying Doctors program in East Africa in 2008. He returned for another year in 2012.  Years later, Dr. Munk delved into his journal to write a thoughtful documentary of his time with the Flying Doctors. The stories include life-saving adventures and his response to the widespread health inequities of East Africa. He recounts these experiences in astonishing detail in his book, "Urgent Calls from Distant Places." These exotic volunteer experiences spurred Dr. Munk's further education and practice. He obtained an advanced degree in healthcare management and worked with healthcare models that respect the physician-patient relationship. Currently, Dr. Munk works as a palliative care physician at an academic center in Boston. To learn more about Dr. Munk, please read his book and visit his website: https://www.mdmunk.comPlease click "Fanmail" and share your feedback!If you enjoy an episode, please share with friends and colleagues.
