Podcasts about Yale Cancer Center

In today's episode, we spoke with Anne Chiang, MD, PhD, to discuss the rapidly evolving treatment landscape in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and what this new era of innovation means for patients. Dr Chiang is an associate professor of medicine in the Section of Medical Oncology at Yale School of Medicine and associate cancer center director for clinical initiatives at Yale Cancer Center in New Haven, Connecticut.In our exclusive interview, Chiang reflected on how the field has shifted since the introduction of chemoimmunotherapy in 2018, highlighting improvements in median overall survival and the emergence of long-term responders in extensive-stage disease. Chiang also explored the growing understanding of disease heterogeneity, and the evolution of biomarker-informed strategies like under evaluation in the phase 2 S2409 PRISM trial (NCT06769126).Additionally, Chiang examined the clinical effect of DLL3-targeted therapies, including the recently approved bispecific antibody tarlatamab-dlle (Imdelltra), and how surface-targeting strategies are expanding options beyond traditional chemotherapy. Beyond efficacy, Chiang underscored the importance of individualized decision-making by assessing patient fitness beyond ECOG performance status, navigating treatment urgency in rapidly progressive disease, and balancing durability with toxicity when counseling patients on therapy.

Dr Hossein Borghaei from Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Dr Anne Chiang from Yale Cancer Center in New Haven, Connecticut, discuss key clinical trial data in the first-line management of ES-SCLC, real-world case studies and current patterns of care among oncologists.CME information and select publications here.

Scott Capozza, PT, MSPT, is a board-certified physical therapist who specializes in oncology at Yale Cancer Center.More than 20 years ago, he was diagnosed with testicular cancer while in graduate school at age 22. As he explained in an article about his cancer journey, “Suddenly I had to schedule an orchiectomy, a retroperitoneal lymph node dissection, and two cycles of chemotherapy around lectures, laboratory work, and practical exams.”Scott shares his experiences with testicular cancer then and now, along with what he's doing to support cancer patients and survivors through physical therapy.  Patient advocacy: Recently, as a patient advocate and testicular cancer survivor, Scott has spoken at conferences to share his lived experiences. He explains this role in the podcast."It almost is our responsibility or our obligation to get in front of these medical providers to say, you have to listen to your patients. You have to make these shared decisions with your patient. You can't blindly take the shotgun approach, give the treatment, and be done with it. You have to factor in quality of life. You have to factor in who that person is..."Hear more from Scott Capozza about his work as an oncology-focused physical therapist, father, patient advocate, and testicular cancer survivor in this episode of Don't Give Up on Testicular Cancer from the Max Mallory Foundation.  Send us a textSupport the showFind us on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook & Linkedin.
