    Community Oncology at a Crossroads: Navigating Policy, Progress, and Practice

    In this episode of Treating Together, host Pallav Mehta, MD, medical oncologist and director of Integrative Oncology at Cooper University Health Care and medical director of Reimagine Care, is joined by Debra Patt, MD, PhD, MBA, oncologist and executive vice president at Texas Oncology. Patt also serves as the president of the Community Oncology Alliance (COA). Their discussion focuses on the rapid transformation of community oncology and the growing pressures shaping its future. Themes and Key Discussion Points The episode focuses on the central role of community oncology in preserving local, quality care. Highlights include: The Evolution of Community Oncology: Drs Mehta and Patt explore how community oncology has changed over the past 2 decades from largely independent practices to consolidated health systems and clinically integrated networks. Financial forces, including the 340B program and broader reimbursement reform, have significantly influenced consolidation trends. Policy as a Driving Force: Dr Patt explores how legislation such as the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and evolving Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) reimbursement models may impact drug payment, cash flow, and practice viability.  The Explosion of Targeted and Advanced Therapies: Oncology has entered an era of unprecedented therapeutic expansion. With this progress comes more complexity: longer treatment durations, higher toxicity management demands, and logistical hurdles of administration. Digital Transformation and AI Integration: With the accelerating role of digital tools and artificial intelligence (AI) in practice, practices face both opportunity and implementation challenges. Workforce and Rural Access Challenges: The conversation addresses mounting physician and nursing shortages, burnout, and the sustainability of rural cancer care, requiring a reimagining of policy, workflow efficiency, and staffing models.

    Navigating the Future of CLL Care

    In this episode of Treating Together, host Marc Braunstein, MD, an associate professor of medicine at the Perlmutter Cancer Center, NYU Grossman School of Medicine, is joined by John Burke, MD, from Rocky Mountain Cancer Centers. Both specialists bring their extensive experience in lymphoma and multiple myeloma to a deep-dive discussion on the rapidly evolving treatment landscape of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Key Discussion PointsThe episode focuses on the refinement of CLL therapy, moving away from traditional chemoimmunotherapy toward targeted approaches. Highlights include: Continuous vs. fixed-duration therapy: A debate on whether patients benefit more from indefinite BTK inhibitor use or time-limited regimens. The role of MRD: Exploring how minimal residual disease (MRD) driven duration is becoming a sophisticated option for tailoring treatment. Clinical trial updates: Analysis of recent data regarding frontline treatment outcomes and infectious risks. Relapsed/refractory strategies: Insights into the recent FDA approval of pirtobrutinib (Jaypirca) for second-line therapy and beyond. Looking Toward the FutureAs the experts look ahead into 2026, they discuss the promising emergence of BTK degraders, which have shown high response rates in heavily pretreated patients and are moving toward potential market availability in the coming years.

  3. Supporting Community Oncologists in a GU Research Era with Dr. Park, Dr. Garmezy, and Dr. Bupathi

    Supporting Community Oncologists in a GU Research Era with Dr. Park, Dr. Garmezy, and Dr. Bupathi

    This episode of Treating Together, hosted by Chandler Park, MD, featuring guests Benjamin Garmezy, MD, and Manoj Bupathi, MD,  centers on the intersection of clinical research and community oncology, specifically within the field of genitourinary (GU) oncology. Core Themes and Discussion Points The Community Oncology Gap: Park highlights a critical statistic: 80% to 85% of patients with cancer are treated in community settings rather than academic centers. The podcast aims to support these community clinicians by translating complex data into practical applications. Rapidly Evolving Data: The group discusses the immense challenge of staying current with novel biomarkers, immunotherapy, targeted therapies, and AI in pathology. The Burden on Generalists: Garmezy notes that while specialists find it hard to keep up, the "real heroes" are the general community oncologists who see a wide variety of conditions and may only see a handful of GU-specific cases per year. Bridging the Research Divide: A primary goal is to narrow the gap between clinical trial findings and real-world clinical practice, ensuring that patients in the community benefit from the latest research.

    Predicting Palbociclib Outcomes in Breast Cancer Using Deep Learning

    In this episode of Emerging Experts, Xiaojie Zhang, MD, a hematology/oncology fellow, and Akshat Singhal, PhD, a postdoctoral scholar, both at UC San Diego, shed light on innovative research leveraging deep learning to predict how patients with ER-positive/HER2-negative (ER+/HER2-) breast cancer will respond to palbociclib (Ibrance), a common first-line treatment for this patient population. Their work, fueled by the desire to improve precision oncology, demonstrates the significant potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in guiding cancer care.
