    How much do you know about stomach cancer?

    Join us for a conversation with Dr. Yanghee Woo, a renowned City of Hope surgeon-scientist and global authority on stomach cancer, also known as gastric cancer. A complex disease that is challenging to diagnose accurately, early-stage gastric cancer is highly treatable. However, more than 75% of gastric cancer patients in the U.S. are diagnosed in later stages. Data shows the disease increasingly impacts adults under 50, as well as certain ethnic populations. Dr. Woo offers recommendations for people who may be at higher risk. She also discusses the groundbreaking study she is leading on the level of gastric cancer risk in our diverse communities and the benefits of upper endoscopy in high-risk individuals.

    The younger face of cancer survivorship: Meet grateful patient Juliette Landgrave and Amanda Schwer, M.D.

    It can no longer be said someone is “too young for cancer.” The recommended age for starting breast cancer screening has recently been decreased to 40. Cancer rates are rising among adults under 50, especially in Southern California. Cancer’s new face is the face of our neighbors, work colleagues, and adult children, and awareness is the first step in getting people screened and tested early. Our guest today, Juliette Landgrave, is among the new young faces of cancer survivorship, and her story is one of resilience and hope. It has been our privilege to care for Juliette at City of Hope Orange County, where her multidisciplinary team includes our second guest, renowned radiation oncologist Dr. Amanda Schwer. Join us as we discuss the special concerns that younger patients with cancer face, how those concerns can be addressed, and what younger adults can do to reduce their risk of developing cancer.

    Helping write the “survival guide” for others: Meet lung cancer survivor Michelle Vacca

    You may be surprised to learn that Orange County has one of the highest incidence rates of lung cancer in women under 50 in California, ranking fifth in the state (although data suggests a downward trend). Our guest today, Michelle Vacca, is a mother, a wife, a fan of K-pop music and a survivor of non-small cell lung cancer, discovered at age 49 during a trip to the emergency room for something unrelated. Join us as host Darrin Godin speaks with Michelle about the clinical trial that transformed her journey, her passion for lung cancer advocacy, and how advances in research and treatment at City of Hope are changing the lung cancer story in Orange County. Lung cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in Orange County adults, where only 7% of adults smoke.

    “A new blessing every day”: Meet two-time cancer survivor Kathy Miller Willahan

    After initially beating breast cancer, Kathy Miller Willahan never expected to deal with a second cancer diagnosis. More than a decade after her experience with breast cancer, Kathy was diagnosed in 2017 with Stage 4 mantle cell lymphoma, a rare form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. After five years of attempting various treatments, her cancer kept returning, and she came to City of Hope to see if to see if she was a candidate for an innovative cancer treatment known as chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy. Today, thanks to the advanced treatment and compassionate care she receives at City of Hope, Kathy is back enjoying her family and doing the things she loves. Join Kathy and host Darrin Godin as they discuss Kathy’s keys to cancer survivorship.

Dr. Hugen practices at City of Hope Orange County Lennar Foundation Cancer Center, where he specializes in caring for patients with urologic cancers such as prostate cancer, bladder cancer, kidney cancer, testicular cancer and penile cancer.

    Full sail ahead: Meet prostate cancer survivor Jon Remy

    Prostate cancer is usually readily treatable and has high survival rates, especially when it is caught and treated early. When Jon Remy was diagnosed with prostate cancer, he was prepared to do whatever he needed to do for as long as it took. But after only two weeks of leading-edge radiation therapy at City of Hope Orange County Lennar Foundation Cancer Center, Jon rang the bell to celebrate successfully completing his treatment. In this episode, Jon shares his message for men on the importance of early detection and treatment. There are no universal guidelines for prostate cancer screening, so men should speak with their physician so they can make an individualized decision on getting screened. This is particularly important for men over age 45 and men in higher-risk groups, including Black men and men with a family history of prostate cancer.
