    Radioactive Resilience: A Survivor's Mission to Cure Cancer

    What happens when you survive a disaster that steals the lives of thousands of children?  For Dr. Yan Leyfman, surviving Chernobyl as a child wasn't just fate—it became the foundation of a lifelong mission to heal.  In this deeply personal conversation, Yan shares how tragedy shaped his calling in oncology, why empathy is the strongest medicine, and how innovation must not only save lives—but reach the patients who need it most. We explore the emotional weight of walking with patients through their darkest moments, the responsibility of a second chance at life, and a bold vision of equity that ensures hope isn't limited by geography or circumstance.  This episode is a testament to purpose, resilience, and the kind of medicine that doesn't just extend life—it honors it.
