Train our immune system to kill cancer and prevent recurrence

Our guest this week is Dr. Ian Walters, CEO of Portage Biotech. Dr. Juneja talks with Dr. Walters to explain how we can potentially educate our own immune system to kill cancer cells and then retain that education to prevent future recurrences. And what if we could create a drug to impact multiple cancers - via existing checkpoint inhibitors or pathways? Watch this episode to find out about the science that is being developed right now.

Is post-chemo fatigue heart-related? And how to prevent it

This episode's guest is Dr. Susan Dent, medical oncologist at Duke Cancer Center and president of the International Cardio-Oncology Society (IC-OS).

Start looking at what’s causing cancer

Our guest this week is Dr. John Hood. Dr. Hood, together with Dr. Sanjay, talk about gene mutations on cancer growth and all the advances in next-generation sequencing that are transforming the treatment of cancer as we know it. If you have heard of the terms: NGS, genomic sequencing, or molecular profiling, but are unsure what they mean, how they work, and - especially - how you can benefit from them, this is the episode for you.

Testing 20 Drugs in 2 Days: This innovation may help you safely select your next therapy.

Our guest this week is Dr. Cliff Reid.

Watch Dr. Sanjay be mind-blown while Dr. Reid explains the science behind this innovation and the potential it can have in the life of cancer patients and their oncologists.

Mammograms, Ultrasounds, MRI’s, Biopsies. Do I have breast cancer or not?

Our guest this week is Dr. Anjali Malik. Dr. Juneja and Dr. Malik talk about the different screening techniques and answers common concerns about breast cancer. In this episode, we learn about the differences between mammograms, ultrasounds, and MRIs and how/when each procedure is recommended. We also learn about breast augmentation, genetics and how it impacts the detection of breast cancer. Watch the full episode to learn from Dr. Malik's insights and expertise.

Sarcoma, Immunotherapy, and NEW Therapies For Skin Cancer

Dr. Sanjay Juneja sits down with Dr. Suresh Nair. Dr. Nair is a medical oncologist at the Lehigh Valley Topper Cancer Institute and focuses on melanoma, kidney cancer (renal cancer), and sarcoma. They talk about the different types of immunotherapies available. Cancers like melanoma and sarcoma have been "scary" cancers for a long time because there weren't many treatments available. But now, several types of therapies are available, so much so that melanoma isn't considered as scary as it used to be.

What Is NEW In Brain Cancer?

Our guest this week is Santosh Kesari, a neurologist and neuro-oncologist at Saint John's Cancer Institute. Dr. Sanjay & Dr. Santosh talk about the different types of brain tumors and what is happening NOW in brain cancer.

Dr. Sanjay & Dr. Santosh agree on the importance of sleep when it comes to health and just how vital the immune system really is when it comes to fighting off disease and cancer.

More importantly, Dr. Santosh discusses some of the different types of exposure that can cause brain cancer as well as several of the new treatments available to brain cancer patients.

Music, Young Cancer Researchers, and Doing Good

Dr. Sanjay Juneja speaks with Derek Albert, the President of Concerned Foundation for cancer research. Derek’s primary goal is to fund young cancer investigators. Sanjay and Derek talk about research, philanthropy, the role music has in cancer, and a variety of ways for the average person to make an impact in cancer treatment.
