    A Look at the Horizon of Cancer Vaccines

    A Look at the Horizon of Cancer Vaccines

    Guest: Lillian Siu, MD, FRCPC



    With a few studies in the works for cancer vaccines, the future is exciting for what this could mean for oncology patients. Dive in to learn about the various ways to package cancer vaccines so they can be delivered to patients effectively. And to learn more about the limitations, targets, and platforms of cancer vaccines, which was the topic of her presentation at the American Society of Clinical Oncology 2024 Conference, hear from Dr. Lillian Siu, Senior Medical Oncologist at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre and Professor of Medicine at the University of Toronto.

    A Unique Look at the Current and Future Directions of Cancer Vaccines

    A Unique Look at the Current and Future Directions of Cancer Vaccines

    Guest: Lillian Siu, MD, FRCPC



    Since cancer vaccines have been of interest to oncologists for decades, they’ve been trying to figure out how to prime or stimulate the immune system to attack cancer, and until the last few years, cancer vaccines have been challenging. To learn about this unique area of study, which she also presented at ASCO 2024, join Dr. Lillian Siu, Senior Medical Oncologist at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre and a Professor of Medicine at the University of Toronto.

    Decoding Risk: Genetic Testing in High-Risk Colon Cancer Patients

    Decoding Risk: Genetic Testing in High-Risk Colon Cancer Patients

    Host: Jody Takemoto, PhD

    Guest: Bryson Katona, MD, PhD



    At the 2024 Digestive Disease Week Annual Meeting, Dr. Bryson Katona presented a session, titled “High-Risk Colon Cancer: The ABCs of Genetic Testing.” And now, Dr. Katona is here with Dr. Jody Takemoto to share key insights from his session on genetic testing for patients with high-risk colon cancer. Dr. Katona is the Director of the Gastrointestinal Cancer Genetics Program and Risk Evaluation Program and the Lynch Syndrome Program at Penn Medicine

    Diving into the Details of Upadacitinib for UC and Crohn’s Disease

    Diving into the Details of Upadacitinib for UC and Crohn’s Disease

    Guest: Andres J. Yarur, MD



    Obesity has recently surfaced as an important topic in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases, such as Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis, but historically, these patients have been underweight. This led to the phase III pivotal trials for the use of upadacitinib in patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease to see how their baseline BMI would influence the efficacy of the drug. To hear the details and findings of this study, join Dr. Andres Yarur, Associate Professor of Medicine at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California. He also presented this study at Digestive Disease Week 2024.

    Updates on New Technologies and Imaging Agents in Healthcare

    Updates on New Technologies and Imaging Agents in Healthcare

    Guest: Tyler J Bradshaw, PhD



    In recent years, doctors have become interested in how large language models and AI technologies could potentially improve radiology overall. Even though these technologies are still in the beginning stages of being used in medicine, eventually doctors hope to show what impact they could have on patients. To learn more about these new technologies and imaging agents, join Dr. Tyler Bradshaw, Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, who presented this topic at the SNMMI 2024 Annual Meeting.
