    YOU MUST WATCH! Healing Without Destruction: PEF Ablation for Advanced Cancer with Dr. Justin Thomas

    In this episode, we explore one of the most exciting emerging frontiers in cancer treatment: Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) ablation—a non-thermal technology that uses short bursts of high-voltage energy to disrupt cancer cells while preserving surrounding healthy tissue. Unlike traditional ablation methods that rely on heat or freezing, PEF works by creating microscopic pores in cancer cell membranes, leading to cell death without damaging critical structures like blood vessels, airways, or connective tissue. This unique mechanism opens the door to treating tumors that were previously considered too risky—or impossible—to ablate. Our discussion focuses on how PEF ablation is being delivered through robotic bronchoscopy, allowing physicians to reach lung tumors with unprecedented precision. This approach is especially relevant for patients with advanced or oligometastatic cancer, where local control may play a critical role in improving quality of life—and potentially survival. Emerging clinical evidence suggests that PEF may do more than just destroy tumors locally. Early data indicate it may also stimulate the immune system, creating a systemic anti-cancer response that could complement immunotherapy and other systemic treatments. This has raised important questions about whether local therapies like PEF could help shift outcomes even in advanced-stage disease. We also discuss the ongoing AFFINITY Trial, a pivotal clinical study evaluating the safety and effectiveness of pulsed electric field ablation in lung tumors. This trial represents a major step toward understanding how this technology may fit into the future standard of care. Learn more about the AFFINITY Trial: https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6694/17/21/3495 Learn more about the Propensity Matched Trial from Bill Moore at NYU in patients with Stage IV Recalcitrant Lung Cancer: https://www.lungcancerjournal.info/action/showPdf?pii=S0169-5002%2825%2900467-2 Whether you are a patient, caregiver, or clinician, this episode offers a clear and hopeful look at how energy-based, precision medicine is reshaping what’s possible in cancer care—moving beyond palliation toward real opportunity. Key Topics Covered: What pulsed electric field ablation is—and how it works How robotic bronchoscopy enables precise delivery in the lung Why non-thermal ablation matters for safety and outcomes The potential immune and survival implications of PEF Ongoing research and the AFFINITY clinical trial 760-834-3564Transforming your health is more fun with friends!

Lisle, Ph.D.is the co-author of The Pleasure Trap available here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1570671974?tag=onamzchefajsh-20&linkCode=ssc&creativeASIN=1570671974&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.1GNPDCAG4A86S Dr. Doug Lisle is an evolutionary psychologist and co-author of The Pleasure Trap: Mastering the Hidden Force that Undermines Health and Happiness. He and his colleagues (Jennifer Howk and Richard Seidel) have developed a revolutionary method for approaching life challenges and improving self-confidence and self-esteem. They describe their approach as Esteem Dynamics — an approach with clinical insights derived from evolutionary psychology. Central figures having major influence on the development of Esteem Dynamics include Richard Dawkins, John Tooby and Leda Cosmides, David Buss, Robert Trivers, Steven Pinker, and Geoffrey Miller. All of these individuals are considered world-leading theorists in evolutionary theory and human psychology. Somewhat surprisingly, insights from these trailblazers has yet to reach mainstream clinical psychology, and thus major advances stemming from some of the world’s greatest thinkers have yet to be systematically applied to problems of helping people improve their lives. Esteem Dynamics is the first such effort, and weds Dr. Lisle’s 30-years of clinical experience to the deep insights into human nature only recently available via evolutionary psychology. Dr. Lisle received his undergraduate education from the University of California, San Diego. He completed his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at the University of Virginia, and was then appointed Lecturer in Psychology at Stanford University. His research and clinical interests include health and wellness, self-esteem, relationship satisfaction, the treatment of anxiety and depression, the genetics of individual differences, and optimizing achievement motivation. In addition to his work with Esteem Dynamics, Dr. Lisle lectures widely on health and wellness. Dr Lisle is available at selected days and times for a one-to-one, personal phone consultation.To schedule a consultation with Dr Lisle: https://drdouglisle.as.me/schedule.php
