Shownotes
🌟 September is HUGE for cancer awareness 🌟
This month shines the spotlight on:
🩸 Blood cancers
🎗️ Childhood cancer
🌸 Gynecologic & ovarian cancers
👨 Prostate cancer
🦋 Thyroid cancer
In my latest What’s New solo episode, I’m diving into:
✅ Breakthrough drugs giving blood cancer patients longer remissions
✅ A 12-year-old’s inspiring story of targeted therapy success
✅ CAR-T therapies expanding into ovarian cancer
✅ New prostate cancer screening guidelines
✅ The rise of precision medicine & theranostics
✅ Futuristic innovations like synthetic drug factories inside the body 🤯
💪 Research is moving fast, and awareness saves lives. Tune in to learn, get inspired, and spread the hope.#LetsTalkFnCancer #CancerAwarenessMonth #CancerResearch #Podcast #CancerBreakthroughs
