Supernatural ended just about two months ago. A little over a month ago, I asked the question; can we watch all of the seasons of Supernatural in a month? A couple of us had already watched all of it, one had watched some, and didn't bother to watch anymore. I, I hadn't watched one single episode at that point. SO, we decided, for the next 4 episodes, we would talk ONLY about Supernatural, as the series had come to a triumphant end. So, for this episode, we are speaking about the first four seasons of this fantastic series. So, on a mission I went, for the next month, watching almost nothing, but Supernatural exclusively. This episode is special because it encapsulates my very first thoughts on the series. Hopefully you all have watched, or are watching, and will follow us along on this Supernatural journey!

In this episode of ASCO eLearning's Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) series, Narjust Duma, MD, moderates a discussion with ASCO CEO, Clifford A. Hudis, MD, FACP, FASCO and Sybil R. Green, JD, RPh, MHA, Director of Strategic Initiatives in ASCO’s Policy and Advocacy Department, on what ASCO is doing as a professional society to address equity as part of its mission.  Subscribe: Apple Podcasts, Google Play | Additional resources: elearning.asco.org | Contact Us   Transcript: PRESENTER: The purpose of this podcast is to educate and inform. This is not a substitute for medical care and is not intended for use in the diagnosis or treatment of individual conditions. Guests on this podcast express their own opinions, experience, and conclusions. The mention of any product, service, organization, activity, or therapy should not be construed as an ASCO endorsement. NARJUST DUMA: Welcome, everybody, to the second episode of ASCO's Social Determinants of Health series. My name is Dr. Narjust Duma. I am an assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin and also a thoracic oncologist. Today I'm joined by ASCO's CEO, Dr. Cliff Hudis, and Sybil Green, Director of Strategic Initiatives in the policy and advocacy department for ASCO. This series is a new initiative proposed by ASCO president, Dr. Lori Pierce. It focuses on increasing oncologists' awareness about the social determinants of health through the cancer care and how impacts our patients' outcome, including modifiable risk factors. This series is inspired by Dr. Pierce's presidential team of equity, every day, every patient, everywhere. In this episode, we look at what ASCO is doing as a professional society to improve health equity and cancer care. Welcome, Dr. Hudis. Welcome, Mrs. Green. First I would like to us what is ASCO doing as an organization in the matter of health equity and cancer care? CLIFF HUDIS: So I guess I'll start here. Thank you very much for spending some time with us on this. If you look at ASCO's mission, it is conquering cancer through research, education, and the promotion of the highest quality and equitable cancer care. So the idea of equity and our responsibility to address disparities is really in our organizational DNA. I have to point out something that many people may not realize. But when ASCO was founded in 1964, one of the seven founders was a black woman, Jane C. Wright. Dr. Wright died in February of 2013. But her father was among the first African-American graduates of the Harvard Medical School. His father was also a physician. And he was educated at what became Meharry. So I remind everybody of this as often as I can, to make the point that not only do we have an opportunity to advance equity and to deal with disparities in health care, but it's my perspective as a leader of ASCO that we have a special obligation and responsibility to do all of that. So we can talk more about it. But I'll just introduce maybe the answer by saying there are really two broad themes at work for us at ASCO. One is externally facing. And one is internally facing. The externally-facing work includes a range of projects and output that we can talk about a little more, but for example our position papers describing disparities and then identifying potential steps to take to address and solve them. But it also includes support for targeted research that is meant to narrow those gaps. It includes our educational efforts, both for our members and for legislators, advocacy for policy, and so on. And then on the internal side-- and here I'll ask Sybil to talk a little bit-- I think we've recently recognized our opportunity, and again responsibility, to think about the workplace itself and to think about our staff and to think about the activities and actions we can take and the roles we can model to create a better world. So I know I've been high level in my initial answer here. But the two domains again are external and internal. And then we can talk about some of the specific projects as we go on. NARJUST DUMA: Mrs. Green, I think it's very important to share about these internal aspects of ASCO because many of us are now aware as members, we see the surface. But ASCO is a large organization with many staff and members. So it would be great that you can share that with us. SYBIL GREEN: Absolutely. And thank you for allowing us to share that. I think Dr. Hudis pointed out some of what we've done since ASCO's establishments and really charging everyone on staff to really live out that obligation of equity, diversity, and inclusion. And so through our programs, our staff have to do their work, make sure that we are creating equitable opportunities for patients and physicians, but it starts at home. And so we have to make sure that internally, we are offering those same opportunities for our staff to engage because what we know is that when staff are engaged, and they have the opportunity to bring their true selves to work every day, they bring their personalities. They bring their lived experiences. And that all plays out in the work that we're doing on behalf of members, in their patients, but also for staff. I think if I were sum up where our program is going, similar to what Dr. Hudis has done, the three components are really enabling staff success. We ought to be able to do that for our staff internally. Every day we ought to provide opportunities for them to succeed. And then making sure that our partnerships-- those that we work with, whether it's in our publications, our meetings-- making sure that our partners goals and ideals align with ASCO's values and ideals. And all of this, of course, is in support of the greater ASCO enterprise, which is our members and the patients and of course, ASCO staff. NARJUST DUMA: And I think that it's really important-- I had the pleasure of interacting with several staff members with diverse backgrounds. And I think as we develop the mentorship program and other things, their input is diverse. It means we also are able to cover the trainees needs because every trainee's needs are different. And because I cannot give a talk or do a podcast without mentioning my grandma, [INAUDIBLE], I have to say that it's important to clean your house first before you go and try to clean other people's houses. I do promise it's beautiful in a Spanish. But I think it's important that everybody knows that internally ASCO is doing a lot of work. And I think it's important to talk about the grants in health equity. And I'm mentioning this because I haven't been doing health equity since I was a med student. And sometimes you find yourself not having enough grant opportunities. Now there is an increase. But when you compare it to other areas of oncology, you may be more competitive because there are less grants. And I think it would be great to hear from the both of you about the new health equity grants, the breast cancer disparity grant, and beyond. CLIFF HUDIS: Well I would just point out something to build on your comment, first of all. Since we were founded in 1964 til now-- so just over 55 years-- we've made unbelievable advances, I think, in oncology in general. Indeed the reason I as an old man chose to go into an oncology in the 1970s was that the vision ahead was that this was going to be an exciting field. And it has not disappointed. However there's a dark that I think we should acknowledge. The advances have not been fairly or evenly distributed. And indeed in some cases when we make massive improvements in outcomes in terms of what's possible with state-of-the-art care, we increase disparities because not every group catches up. And I say all that because it's important to understand that this is not about abstraction. These grants that address that gap are as or more important than the basic science grants that actually advance the biology and understanding in the first place. One without the other is incomplete. So I can't agree more that this is important. And actually from an investment or return on investment point of view, in some ways, these grants are an even better deal because we can rest many of these gaps in care delivery and in knowledge pretty quickly and narrow the gap. And we've seen it. I'm going to give you some examples in a moment. Whereas funding basic science, honestly, is a much higher risk proposition, if you think about it. So I don't mean to set up a false competition here. But I want to point out that there's a big reward. So here's an example. The plenary session abstract at ASCO two years ago now-- abstract number one, if you recall, was no moral less than an analysis of the impact of Medicaid expansion. And what did it show? It showed that with Medicaid expansion, those states that implemented it quickly narrowed the gap in time to initiation of therapy for curable colon cancer. It's a simple take-home point. I care passionately about this personally because these are differences in outcome that have been labeled as associated with race for many years or other specific ethnic facts. But really what they're about is nothing except unfair, uneven access to care in the first place on the basis of race. And it's something that we can address. So we are building out programs to address this through a number of granting mechanisms. For 2020 alone, there are going to be two Young investigator awards that are earmarked for underrepresented populations. And there's a career development award and another YIA, Young Investigator Award, in health disparities specifically. But this is just, I think, part of the issue. The other issue for us-- and actually a commitment going back for years-- is to do something about the workforce itself. And I don't have to tell you, but of course, there is a huge disparity playing out when we look at makeup of medical students in America. And it gets accentuated to the extreme when we look at black men. They are the most disproportionately underrepresented group right now. So how are we going to address that? And we're really proud this year to be launching a program that is aimed at newly-matriculating medical students building on a successful program in Boston that's been running for a couple of years already with Bob Mayer is the founder. And our goal is to the interest of specifically targeted populations, not just in medicine but specifically in oncology. NARJUST DUMA: Mrs. Green, you would like to add something about the grant and what is happening to support health disparities various research at ASCO? SYBIL GREEN: I'll just add the importance of any grant opportunity in any program being one to two. So it's one thing to be able to address bringing in the right medical students to be able to mirror the populations that they serve. It's something else to continue to support them along the way, and so not just stopping at the students, not just stopping at the research, but also making sure that was they're in practice they're supported. And a couple of grants that we've had for some time focus on quality, not just in ensuring that quality services are delivered, but actually helping practices to determine how to identify gaps in [INAUDIBLE] populations that are underserved because we may not be able to identify those same gaps that we would identify in majority populations. And so by giving them the tools to some of the other programs that ASCO has to be able to identify those gaps and then to support them along the way is really important. NARJUST DUMA: And I want to add to what Dr. Hudis mentioned about workforce diversity because this is one of my areas of research and passion. And it's extremely important to have a diverse workforce to represent the patients we're caring for. It's not only having a diverse workforce, but having a workforce that practices cultural humility. We cannot assume that we are proficient or we are competent in somebody's culture. I'm a Latina. And there are so many Latinos in so many different backgrounds that I cannot learn them all. And I think it's important that early interventions are-- because when you get exposed to a specialty early on during the training, that would change your pathway. I'm the daughter of two surgeons. I'm supposed to be a plastic surgeon. But a patient with cancer changed my life and my pathway. So we're able to support those students that have less resources and less access-- and that also includes rural students-- they may don't be black or Latino, they may be white, but they come from rural areas with limited resources-- we are sure that we meet the patient needs because there are aspects I don't understand. Like I'm in Wisconsin, and there are some aspects to farming I didn't know. Now I know when harvest is. And all of that allows us to plan appropriately. So I can see how important it is. And there's a task force that is run by Dr. Winfield, which I'm lucky to be part, that focuses on the workforce diversity. Along those lines, as a minority in medicine, I have seen up and downs of the interest in workforce diversity and health equity. I think many events in 2020 helped a lot of people open their eyes or be more conscious like, oh, that's not isolated. That happens in my back yard. It happened in Kenosha, Wisconsin. But we want to hear how is ASCO making these things long term, how the internal and external changes are going to be long term? And I will start with Mrs. Green and then go to Dr. Hudis. SYBIL GREEN: So in terms of making it long term, it can't be one and done. I think quite often when we focus on equity and diversity issues, we always look at diversity first. And so whether it's workforce or whether it's increasing opportunities for access, you can't just look at the numbers. You have to also think a little bit deeper. You have to think about culture. And so culture with humility, like you mentioned, Dr. Duma, is important, but making sure that attitudes are changing along the way. And that happens through self-awareness. That happens through understanding. And I think that ASCO plays a real role in making sure that our members understand what the issues are and how to dig past those things and provide them with the tools to be able to [INAUDIBLE]. ASCO I think, is not unique. And the idea that this is all new to us has gotten a lot of attention because of some of the social and racial injustice. But what that means is that our members now are probably more interested in ensuring equity than ever before. But we have to teach them how to do it. We have to teach them how to speak the language. We have to teach them how to be more aware, both in their own organizations, at ASCO internally, and for their patients. And so it's a cultural change. It's not going to happen overnight. It's gradual understanding of the dynamics, gradual understanding of different peoples goals, and meeting them where they are, so that we can help them to move along, so that we can come to a more equitable and just [INAUDIBLE]. CLIFF HUDIS: I think one of the things Sybil and I spoke about this summer is we launched our internal EDI effort-- relates to this. And that is this is not about identifying a leaky pipe and patching it and saying, well, we're done now. This is actually, in my view, a permanent change in the way we see work and the way we see our growth. So the goal is to reach a specific landmark. The goal is to change how we think about our work and how we think about our role in the world, so that we're constantly improving. And it's a journey, not a destination, I think, which sounds trite. But that's the spirit of it. And it gets to your question about how we make sure that the commitment is continuous and not just while it's [INAUDIBLE] and exciting. And I think we are committed and dedicated to that. I do want to present a related challenge because it's something you said really sparked this thought for me. As a physician, when did you know that you wanted to be a physician? How old were you? NARJUST DUMA: I was 5. CLIFF HUDIS: And, Sybil, when did you know what your career path was going to be? SYBIL GREEN: I was 9. CLIFF HUDIS: That doesn't support my thesis [LAUGHS] [INAUDIBLE]. So here's the issue. The issue of burnout in medicine right now is getting a lot of attention. And one of the reasons for it, frequently given, is that doctors on average decide to commit to their careers a decade younger than most people on average commit to other careers. You're an exception, Sybil, so I should have pretested the question. But the issue is we're not here to talk about burnout today, even though that's really important. The issue is this. In order to ultimately address the makeup of the population of physicians, we need to reach deeper and further into precollege communities. And we need to show people that they could have lives in science and health care and in medicine and maybe specifically oncology. And I'm just pointing out to you that that's a daunting challenge for a professional society like ASCO. That's not our audience. We don't have a natural connection there. And one of the things that we're working on right now is identifying programs that have worked, that exposed high school students from previously excluded populations or communities to medicine, so that we can spark that passion before college, not during college, and therefore have the commitment that it takes to go far into medicine. And I'll just close by saying something that you hinted at but needs to be said. The reason to have diversity in our workforce is not that an Asian patient needs an Asian doctor. It's that an Asian patient needs a practice that has Asian doctors in it, so that the practice as a whole is able to be culturally sensitive and able to relate and communicate and support them because I think sometimes this issue gets oversimplified as well. SYBIL GREEN: So Dr. Hudis, your theory is not completely [INAUDIBLE] I think it's relevant to this conversation because while I knew what I wanted to do at 9, what I didn't have was the representatives in the community. I didn't have the mentor. Interestingly enough, I had more mentors in pharmacy than I had in law because I saw pharmacists who looked like me. I happened to live in a town where there was a historically black college with [INAUDIBLE]. And so I saw people look like me. And it made it a lot easier for me to reach out to them, for them to mentor me, for them to start talking to me about what equity in health care looked like. That really wasn't until I was in college. But the truth of the matter is for most diverse students, most minority students, that doesn't exist. And I think that that's where ASCO's mentoring programs are really rich. You have the opportunity to do that. NARJUST DUMA: And I think this is important because you can do what you can see. And that has been proven over and over again. We unfortunately are running out of time. But I want to ask the final question. Like a manuscript, like a study, everything has limitations. And I think it's important that we talk about the limitations of ASCO doing this work because realistic expectations are helpful so we don't get disappointed when we have big expectations that may not be met. So Dr. Hudis, what are some of the limitations of ASCO to help equity work now? CLIFF HUDIS: You're right, it's a huge issue. If you think about where our scientific focus is, we can measure the disparities or the difference in outcomes. And we can write a paper about that but when you really get to addressing the reasons for it, it extends far beyond what we can do. So I guess our limit is we can call attention and rally colleagues and collaborate across the House of Medicine and broadly into Congress, where we can make a difference-- or to the United Nations and World Health Organization. But we can't do this heavy lift alone. We need other colleagues who agree who are willing to invest time and money to make the change. SYBIL GREEN: And I would add partnerships because as much as we're talking about social determinants of health, we recognize that all social determinants of health are not health related. They're not [INAUDIBLE]. And many of them live and operate outside of the realm of health care. But what we can do is bring our expertise to the table about the impact of those things, so that our partners stand in their own world, in education, in criminal justice, in financial assistance, how that can help really change the outcomes for patients. I think at ASCO, we've got that expertise. And we can do that. NARJUST DUMA: Thank both of you for your time.

Esmé Weijun Wang's debut novel The Border of Paradise was one of my favorite books of 2016. A multigenerational epic centered on an interracial family, the Nowaks, this book touches on so many profound topics, from mental illness to intergenerational trauma to culture clash to the very question of what it means to be a family, all done in stunningly beautiful prose. Esmé and I had a great conversation about her book in the first segment, and in the second segment we chatted about our favorite social media platform: Twitter.

This episode: Bacteria protect farmed mushrooms from damage by other bacteria by breaking down their toxins! Download Episode (4.9 MB, 7.1 minutes) Show notes: Microbe of the episode: Tomato mosaic virus Takeaways Almost all organisms are vulnerable to pathogenic microbes that make them sick or cause damage. Most also have other microbes that help them grow better or protect them from pathogens. This includes animals, plants, and also fungi. In this study, bacterial pathogens produce a toxin that causes button mushrooms to turn brown and rot. However, other bacteria can degrade this toxin and protect the fungus, and can also degrade molecules the pathogens produce to help them swarm to new places, restricting their movement. Journal Paper: Hermenau R, Kugel S, Komor AJ, Hertweck C. 2020. Helper bacteria halt and disarm mushroom pathogens by linearizing structurally diverse cyclolipopeptides.

Jordanna Kalman is a fine art photographer who lives and works in New York. Jordanna’s work explores loneliness, femininity and individuality, and the images are highly personal. In her series Little Romances, she rephotographs prints of earlier images of hers which had been stolen and misused. By considering the prints as objects and adding new elements, she creates a new narrative, examining the anxieties of being a woman and creating a form of protection for the image. In our conversation we discussed prints as still-life subjects, what anger can accomplish, and our mutual dislike of “mean” photography. Then in the second segment we discussed a recent Instagram dust-up between two photographers, and how it’s relevant to our larger society. (Conversation recorded October 21, 2020.)

This episode: Actinomycete bacteria are often helpful to insects, but some can be deadly yet still attractive! Download Episode (5.7 MB, 8.3 minutes) Show notes: Microbe of the episode: Streptomyces corchorusii   News item Takeaways Actinomycete bacteria do a lot of interesting things. They grow like fungi, with mycelia and spores, and produce many interesting compounds, including antibiotics and other useful pharmaceuticals. They often team up with insects, producing such compounds to assist them in competing with other organisms or resisting disease.   But such amazingly helpful powers of chemistry can also be amazingly harmful. In this study, multiple strains of these bacteria were able to kill fruit fly larvae that ingested their spores. The toxin the bacteria produced was a chemical that interferes with cells' DNA-protein interactions. The bacteria also produced an odor that, in certain concentrations, lured the larvae to their doom.

At age 27, Joe Decker was out of shape and out of hope.  He was an alcoholic and drug addict who had just hit rock bottom. Three years later, Joe broke the Guinness Record for World’s Fittest Man. He got there - from out of hope to Fittest Man - by mastering the goal setting process, and that’s the focus for today’s conversation. Host Johnny Waite talks to Joe about:    -Joe’s starting point. As we said, he was at rock bottom and could barely run a mile. He decided to fill the void with fitness.  -Using baby steps as you climb to reach your goal.  As Joe says, “you have to be able to run a 5k to run 150 miles.” -Balancing patience with optimism. What we mean here is, often times the optimism when first setting a goal makes you overwork yourself and potentially burnout.  Joe is all about patience and setting manageable goals.  -Executing: After you’ve set a goal, prepared and are at the event, it’s time to get robotic. Get out of your head and focus on the next task.    Background on Joe Decker: Joe Decker is recognized as “The Worlds Fittest Man,” an ultra-endurance power athlete, renowned fitness trainer, and syndicated columnist who has helped thousands of women, men, kids and seniors get into shape and lose weight.   This outdoor workout format that Joe created is the same that he used to break the Guinness World Records® 24-Hour Physical Fitness Challenge in 2000.

This episode: Warmth helps mice build stronger bones, mediated by bacteria producing certain compounds! Download Episode (6.8 MB, 9.9 minutes) Show notes: Microbe of the episode: Aquaspirillum serpens   News item Takeaways Bones aren't just solid, structural supports for the body's tissues. They're active and alive, housing important components of the immune system, and also capable of being broken down and built up in response to changes in the body's interactions with the environment. Various things can affect bone mass and health, including nutrition, temperature, age, and even the body's microbes.   In this study, two of these effects are found to interact. Warmth leads to increased bone density in mice, and this effect can be attributed to the microbes in the mice, and transmitted from one mouse to another just by transplanting microbes adapted to warmth. Even the particular chemicals the microbes produce that mediate this effect are discovered.

Ben Friberg, extreme endurance paddler talks with Johnny Waite, of Spartan Up Podcast, about how to prepare for the really big, self-supported, expedition-style adventures where you will be truly on your own. An example is Ben's dream crossing - the Bering Strait from Siberia to Alaska, alone on a stand-up paddleboard. Ben Stresses the importance of preparation - doing your research, knowing your gear and your body, and considering how to handle absolute worst-case scenarios, including injuries. He reminds us that when you have enough moving parts to a plan, you have to know that something is going to go wrong! JOhnny'ss favorite part is when Ben talks about the potential beauty of a Painted Corner (when you get yourself in a situation where you have eliminated all other options) and the spiritual epiphany that led to him composing a song by that title.   #1 - How Ben uncovers every stone (e.g., analyzing weather patterns, talking to locals, reading books on the terrain he’s going to traverse) to prepare for a self-supported paddle expedition   #2 - How navigating class-5 rapids equipped Ben for a career in self-supported adventures   #3 - Why crossing the Bering Strait is Ben’s “white whale” of self-supported paddle expeditions.   SPONSOR This episode of Spartan Up! is brought to you by TrueForm Runner.  Save 10% with the code ‘Spartan 10’ at TrueFormRunner.com/Spartan.   SUBSCRIBE: Apple Podcasts: http://bit.ly/SpartanUpShow YouTube: http://bit.ly/SpartanUpYT Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1pYBkk1T684YQg7CmoaAZt FOLLOW SPARTAN UP: Spartan Up on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/spartanuppodcast/ Spartan Up on Twitter https://twitter.com/SpartanUpPod   CREDITS: Producer: Ryan Warner Hosts: Johnny Waite Sr Producer: Marion Abrams   © 2020 Spartan

This is not a substitute for medical care, and is not intended for use in the diagnosis or treatment of individual conditions. Guests on this podcast express their own opinions, experience, and conclusions. The mention of any product, service, organization, activity, or therapy should not be construed as an ASCO endorsement. RAMY SEDHOM: Hello, and welcome to ASCO's newest podcast focused on the social determinants of health. My name is Ramy Sedhom, and I'm a medical oncology fellow at Johns Hopkins. Today, I am joined by ASCO president Dr. Lori Pierce, professor of radiation oncology at the University of Michigan. We are also joined by Dr. Katherine Reeder-Hayes, associate professor of oncology and health services researcher from UNC Chapel Hill, also chair of the ASCO Health Equity Committee. And finally, we are also joined by Dr. Abenaa Brewster, chair of the ASCO Prevention Committee, medical oncologist, and professor of epidemiology at MD Anderson. All our distinguished health researchers focused on disparities work. We are excited to launch this theme in light of the theme as highlighted by Dr. Pierce, equity, every patient, every day, everywhere. Dr. Pierce, why are the social determinants of health relevant? How do they relate to our work at ASCO and to the theme of equity? LORI PIERCE: Thanks, Dr. Sedhom. Yes, the ASCO theme this year is based on equity, and treating patients with equitable care is at the very heart of what ASCO does. It's what ASCO stands for. But we know there are factors, including social determinants of health, that can significantly affect the quality of health care that our patients receive, so we're hoping that this series of talks will increase awareness to many of those factors so providers can understand even better what some of the barriers are that our patients are experiencing. So we feel that understanding what they are, that's an important first step in terms of determining meaningful actions that we can take. RAMY SEDHOM: Thank you, Dr. Pierce. Dr. Reeder-Hayes, any additional comments? KATHERINE REEDER-HAYES: So I would just add that the reason I think oncologists inherently do care about the social determinants of health is that we care who gets cancer, and we care about the survival of that cancer. That's what we do as physicians. And as we follow cancer outcomes and cancer registries over time, what we realized is that there are a lot of biological things about cancers that determine their outcomes, but there are also many things that determine that outcome of a person's cancer that aren't biologic, and we have put those things together in a large group and use labels like the social determinants of health to understand what those non-biological factors are. But as physicians, as people who want to cure cancer, I think that it's just as important for us to have a good understanding of those non-biologic factors and how they're going to influence our patient's chance of the best outcome from their disease as it is for us to have a good grasp on the biologic determinants that are going to influence our patient's outcome. RAMY SEDHOM: Thank you. And I think this is a really good time to emphasize that the series is at the intersection of work through the Health Equity Committee and the Prevention Committee as being put forth by ASCO, and the ASCO Education Committee as well. And Dr. Reeder-Hayes, how would you importantly define the social determinants of health? KATHERINE REEDER-HAYES: So that's a pretty broad range of definitions, because there are a lot of people in health care who have talked about this concept of non-biologic determinants of how patients do for a long time, both in cancer care, and in other fields, like primary care, diabetes, and hypertension research. And so there are several organizations that have put forth definitions. The first one that I would point people to as the World Health Organization. So these patterns occur globally, not just in the United States. And the WHO describes the social determinants of health as the circumstances in which people are born, grow up, live, work, and age, and the systems that are put in place to deal with illness. So there's this idea that the circumstances that people find themselves in, as well as the structure of the health care system are part of this conversation about social determinants of health. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has done a lot of work to help put these concepts into more understandable and everyday language. And so the definition they use is that health begins where we live, learn, work, and play. So the social determinants of health include factors that operate on a few different levels. So there's the level of societal conditions, social conditions, economic conditions, physical conditions of where and how people live, and where and how people work, and then there are also psychosocial levels, like the patient-level psychosocial factors. And Centers for Disease Control also focus a lot of their work on social determinants at this idea of psychosocial factors at the patient level. So even though the concept is simple, it's actually also very broad. And when people talk about social determinants of health, they can be talking about things that are operating at several different levels, from the structure of the health care system, on down to the structure of the apartment complex where your patient lives. And so you have to think broadly, I think, when you're thinking about analyses for research or how to talk to your patients about social determinants of health. But the American Cancer Society has recently also put out a paper that tried to help people put these social determinants into appropriate buckets, particularly the ones that really seem to impact cancer care. And so the three categories or domains that they've suggested are structural inequities, so things that happen in a larger society and in the structure of the health care system that impact our patients and how they access care. Secondly, institutional environments. What do the places where we treat cancer look like? What are their structures? And how does that impact our patients outcomes? And then, finally, living environments. Where do our patients go back to when they go away from the health care setting? So those are some of the ways that we can think about the finding and talking about the social determinants of health. RAMY SEDHOM: Thank you for sharing that. That's a lot to think about and to consider. Dr. Brewster can you comment on the impact of those social determinants of health in disparate groups beyond race and ethnicity? ABENAA BREWSTER: So I agree that we're really used to thinking about social determinants of health as explaining some of the race-ethnic disparities that we see in cancer incidence and outcome. But we know that there are other groups that also experience differences in outcomes based on these determinants. For example, characteristics of sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, geography, immigration status, these are all characteristics that are impacted by social determinants of health. An example that I like to give for the race-ethnic disparity is the 40% increase in mortality that African-American women experience who are diagnosed with breast cancer compared to white women, and that, for a large part, is due to socioeconomic poverty and insurance differences. And in fact, then those characteristics then explain decreased screening, later stage of diagnoses, and then leads to disparate delays and receipt of treatment. There was a really nice paper published in JCO by Jamal and others which showed that insurance alone accounted for about 37% of that 40% increase in mortality that Black women experience who are diagnosed with cancer. And so you can see the great opportunities that are there to make care more equal if you're able to improve access. And so examples of other groups, for example, we have registry data showing that urban populations, although they have higher cancer incidence, the rural populations actually have a higher incidence of the cancers that are related to tobacco use or HPV. And we also know that rural populations also have higher mortality than urban populations when it comes to cancer, and that's largely driven by poverty, under insurance, socioeconomic status, isolation. And so that's another group that is impacted by those social determinants of health as outlined by Dr. Reeder-Hayes. And then, lastly, the LGBT community. Although there haven't been a lot of large studies looking at the impact of cancer incidence and outcomes in that community, there have been lots of survey studies that have shown that these determinants of health tend to cluster within those communities. Once again, social isolation, negative patient-provider relationships, under insurance, poverty, and so that's another group where this becomes very meaningful. And I think kind of what cuts across all of these groups are really characteristics that have been linked to historical discrimination. And so that's something that we see very clearly. And then, we also see it reflected in our oncology population, right? Only about 2% of oncologists are African-American. And so these social determinants of health not only impact our patients, but they impact what our workforce looks like, and then, that, in turn, leads to differences in terms of the patient-provider relationships. RAMY SEDHOM: Absolutely. And this is a great question to direct towards you as the chair of the Prevention Committee. How do the social determinants of health-- how are they relevant for our cancer patients and our cancer survivors? ABENAA BREWSTER: Social determinants affect the trajectory of cancer care. And so we've talked about the impact of social determinants of health on cancer mortality and cancer outcomes, receipt of treatment, timing of treatment. So those are all impacts that our oncology patients face. But I would say, in terms of the field of cancer prevention, over the past four decades, there have been significant advances in cancer prevention, vaccine, preventive therapies, high-quality screening. And unfortunately, there are populations that are being left out of those advances that we've seen in cancer prevention. We also know that maintaining a healthy weight, having a physically active lifestyle, having a nutritious diet with fruits and vegetables also play a key role in cancer prevention. But those are impacted by where our patients live. And so patients who live in disadvantaged neighborhoods may have less availability for these nutritious food choices, and they may have less safe spaces to engage in physical activity. And so while we advance our prevention knowledge and our prevention strategies, we are leaving behind groups of individuals who, based on where they live, and where they work, and how they're educated, are not being able to access those types of advances in cancer prevention, and as a result, we see increasing cancer incidence. RAMY SEDHOM: And Dr. Pierce, how does having this context or understanding make us better researchers, clinicians, and administrators? And also, how does it benefit our interactions with our patients and our colleagues? LORI PIERCE: So understanding the social determinants of health, it will make us better researchers, then clinicians, and just better doctors, because it allow us to see how the cancer world looks to our patients, kind of look at the cancer world through their lens. And an example, we have all these groundbreaking therapies, but if the patients don't have transportation and they can't come in, then those therapies are for naught. And I'm going to echo what Dr. Brewster said a few minutes ago. Another example is if we're advocating for patients to maintain a healthy weight, and a part of that is to do exercise, but they can't go out in their communities because they're not in a safe community, then we need to come up with other strategies. So I think it's very important that we understand these issues so we can advise, we can advocate, and we can act once we truly understand the barriers that our patients are facing everyday. RAMY SEDHOM: And Dr. Reeder-Hayes, can you comment on how the Health Equity Committee is seeking to understand the social determinants of health, their effects on populations, and the actions that can be taken to improve cancer care? KATHERINE REEDER-HAYES: Sure, so one of the things that the Health Equity Committee has been really excited about and working with Dr. Pierce on, her presidential theme, and also, in entering this conversation about the social determinants of health, is getting more of our members engaged with the idea of knowing our patients and their non-biologic characteristics as a way of being better doctors, as Dr. Pierce said. So the most simple way I can explain the concept is that every patient has a backstory. We know this as doctors. Every patient brings this unique story into their cancer care experience. And we know intuitively that that story that they bring with them into cancer care is going to impact what their cancer journey looks like. But we also need to acknowledge that it's going to impact their cancer outcome. We already know that it's going to impact how we interact together as a team, patient and provider, but we need to raise awareness that it's also going to impact how the cancer turns out. Because I think that's something our members naturally care about, and I think our members want to understand their patients' cancer care stories, So as researchers, and as folks on the Health Equity Committee, we would like to help people understand how to obtain the most relevant information about their patient's backstory in the most respectful and efficient and effective way, and then to integrate that well into how they care for their patients, as well as how they shape their research and their administrative roles. So we're excited to be doing that. Now, some of these circumstances are not immediately changeable, and they certainly aren't within the patient's individual power to change, but some of them, at least in terms of how they impact our patient's access to care, are modifiable, either by us as their physician, or by someone else in the health care system, or by someone in an organization that comes alongside the health care system to help, like a private foundation or a philanthropic organization. If our patient has a barrier to care because of transportation, like the example that Dr. Pierce gave, and they can't get a ride to cancer care, there are actually some ways that we can intervene on that. And there are even people in our health care system who are expert on how to intervene on that, as well as organizations that have volunteers that can help intervene on that. But if we don't obtain the information, we're not going to know, and then we can't bring the strategy to bear to get our patient to that groundbreaking therapy that they get. If they could make it to us, or if we could make it out to them, thinking about innovative ways to deliver care. So those are some of the things that we're excited about in the Health Equity Committee. RAMY SEDHOM: Thank you for sharing with us a lot of the great work that you're doing, and the ASCO team. On a similar note, Dr. Brewster, can you review with us some of the key contributions related to the social determinants of health from the Prevention Committee? ABENAA BREWSTER: Sure. Well, first of all, I'm so proud of the ASCO Cancer Prevention Committee for the work that they've done over the years to raise awareness, not only about cancer prevention to the public, but also within the oncology community. And ASCO's Cancer Prevention Committee has really spearheaded ASCO's work in tobacco control and cessation over the past 20 years, including supportive position statements on tobacco cessation and control, and also, for the electronic nicotine delivery device systems. And the committee continues to educate providers on the importance of addressing smoking cessation among their patients before and after a diagnosis of cancer. Also, within the area of obesity and energy balance, the committee has issued a position statement, because, actually, the majority of Americans are not aware of the impact that obesity has on cancer risk and cancer prognosis, and just raising the awareness of that issue, particularly around underserved populations, is important, because those are the populations that actually have some of the higher rates, but also lack that knowledge. And so the committee has conducted surveys of not just oncologists, but also patients, to try to really understand how that information is being disseminated, and then what are the barriers to be able to address the issue of obesity? And so that's important work that's going on. And a few years ago, the Prevention Committee also issued a statement on the association between alcohol and cancer risk and outcomes, and that's kind of all still a risk factor that has very little public awareness of its importance, and that's really driven a lot of the media and other publications that have come out really showing that association. And so raising that awareness is important. And the good news is that there are strategies and interventions and policy changes that can be brought to bear to impact some of these modifiable risk factors. And so that's a very exciting avenue for research and practical applications. RAMY SEDHOM: Thank you, Dr. Brewster. That's actually a wonderful shift toward policy and advocacy. And I, myself, participated on the Hill with ASCO. And Dr. Pierce, can you share with us or discuss some of the advocacy efforts from ASCO for our patients and lawmakers who can help in critical ways as it relates to the social determinants of health? LORI PIERCE: Thanks for the question. It's a great question. Advocacy is so important. So important that we advocate for our patients, because they often can't advocate for themselves. And we advocate to lawmakers, that's on a local level, on state level, and a national level, because it really can highlight to our lawmakers some of the barriers that our patients face and things that they can do to remove those barriers. And I'll give you a great example, HR 913, the Clinical Treatment Act. For those of you who don't know what that is, it's the following. Medicaid is the only insurer that does not cover routine care costs for patients, Medicaid patients who go on clinical trials. They're the only insurer that doesn't do that. And you talk about routine costs, we're talking about doctor visits, we're talking about x-ray tests, routine blood tests. The irony is Medicaid will cover these same costs if patients were not on a clinical trial, but they won't cover it on a clinical trial. And of course, we know there are a lot of minority patients that are on Medicaid. And so this is the disincentive for minority patients to go on clinical trials, which is exactly what we do not want to see. And so ASCO has been spending quite a bit of time advocating to the legislation about how important it is to cover these costs in clinical trials. And so the House has legislation, and just last week, the Senate now has parallel legislation. So we are moving the needle. We are going in the right direction. And it's a very important example of just what advocacy can do in terms of improving care for our patients. RAMY SEDHOM: That's great to hear, and we hope things continue to move forward. Dr. Pierce, also would like to direct this question to you. What is your vision for the future of this podcast series? And what do we really want our listeners to take home from this? LORI PIERCE: So I'm so excited about this series, and I am so appreciative to everyone, those who are on the series, and everyone in the background for getting this going. It's my hope that the series of broadcasts will be an important educational tool to really understanding the social determinants of health and how they impact our patients and society at large. And so this series will contain a lot of aspects, a lot of podcasts and videos on social determinants of health that our task force, which you are a key member of, is helping us to design. So our task force is made up of fellows and junior faculty, the future leaders of ASCO, and the future leaders of oncology in general. So thanks to your enthusiasm, thanks to your feedback, we are launching this, and I am super, super excited. RAMY SEDHOM: Thank you, again, everybody. The conversations today are really a reminder of all of our shared experiences. I remember as an oncology fellow, oftentimes, the hardest part of care in the clinic was not the science or the biology of cancer, but actually, all of the things discussed today, especially the social determinants and how they impact our patients. Again, we want to thank all of our wonderful faculty for serving as change agents. The planning of this podcast series is a joint effort through all of the wonderful ASCO volunteers who are fellows, junior faculty, ASCO leadership, and importantly, cancer survivors and ASCO staff. We do want everyone to look forward to next month's episode, where we will discuss and look at what ASCO can do as a professional society to address equity as a part of its mission.

This episode: Copper electrodes, rather than killing bacteria in microbial fuel cells, allow them to generate higher densities of electric current! Download Episode (5.0 MB, 7.2 minutes) Show notes: Microbe of the episode: Xipapillomavirus 2   News item Takeaways Copper is widely used as a way to make surfaces and materials antimicrobial, to cut down on the spread of pathogens in hospitals and other environments. Among other mechanisms, it reacts with oxygen to form reactive oxygen species that are very harsh on microbial proteins. But copper is also a good electrical conductor, which would be useful to use in microbial fuel cells, which exploit bacterial metabolism to generate electricity. Microbes form biofilms on an electrode and transfer electrons to it as a way for them to generate energy. Most such fuel cells have used graphite electrodes to avoid toxicity.   In this study, fuel cell bacteria grew well on a copper electrode in an oxygen-free environment. The copper actually allowed them to increase the amount of current they produced per unit of area, as ionic copper diffused through the biofilm and allowed electrons to flow through the biofilm to the electrode from layers farther from the electrode that otherwise would not have access. Even graphite electrodes could be improved by adding these copper ions to the biofilm directly. Journal Paper: Beuth L, Pfeiffer CP, Schröder U. 2020.

For this installment of the KTCO Book Club, I’m joined by writer Alyssa Harad for a conversation about Tove Jansson’s 1982 novel The True Deceiver. Despite the slimness of the volume, Jansson’s novel yet contains a surprising degree of depth and complexity, not to mention psychological tension, in a story that challenges the reader to consider the nature of truth, honesty, and different forms of deception.

This episode: Combining Salmonella with something called photoimmunotherapy to attack tumors in multiple ways! Download Episode (8.2 MB, 11.9 minutes) Show notes: Microbe of the episode: Shimwellia blattae Takeaways Distinguishing healthy from unhealthy tissue is one of the big challenges when dealing with cancer. Since cancer is derived from healthy tissue, there are many similarities between them that make it hard to target it specifically. This is especially important when cancer is spread in multiple places throughout the body, as opposed to a single tumor that can be removed locally.   In this study, bacteria modified to make them safer were injected into mice with tumors. The bacteria alone were capable of doing some damage to the tumors, and this damage happened to make the tumors darker. Using this color change, the scientists targeted the tumors with lasers to heat them up and kill them in an isolated manner. This had the added benefit of inducing an immune response against the cancer that could target it throughout the body.

You know what time it is everyone!!! It's time to turn those time clocks backwards, and revisit something from our childhood!! Yup, it's pop culture classic time!! For this episode, we're going all the way back to 1984! In 1984 we were blessed with a VERY different sci-fi movie, called The Terminator! The Terminator is all about a large "race" of super intelligent, and super strong robots!! Robots that essentially "wear" the skin of a human being, in order to blend in. These machines were sent to the past, in order to kill the mother of a child. That child, will grow up to become a fearless leader, of an uprising against the machines. This is the story of Sarah Connor and Reese, fighting against those machines, and ensuring Jon Connor is born, to become the leader the world needs him to be!
