Hear What You've Been Missing

In the first episode of the The First Line of Defense podcast, we discuss early detection of pancreatic cancer in primary care. While the initial presentation of pancreatic cancer can be vague and non-specific, if you’re suspicious, Primary Care Clinicians should consider imaging, such as an abdominal and pelvic CT scan for further evaluation.

In the second episode of the The First Line of Defense podcast, we discuss genetic insights and understanding pancreatic cancer risk in primary care. While there are many considerations a Primary Care Clinician has to make when diagnosing pancreatic cancer, family histories are an important piece of this complex puzzle.

Primary Care Clinicians have an important role to play, and it’s not easy. There is hope for the future of early detection with biomarkers and A-I. Not only is early detection increasingly more feasible, it makes a significant difference in survival.

In this special bonus episode of The First Line of Defense podcast, Chris Sander, a computational biologist based at the Dana-Farber Cancer Center and Harvard Medical School, explains how his research on A-I and machine learning are being used to help with early cancer detection. Even with the multiple challenges inherent in AI, this study represents a much needed and valuable step in earlier cancer detection efforts.

Special Edition Episode 63 for World Stroke Day #GreaterThanStroke  This year’s theme for World Stroke Day 2023 is stroke prevention. One in four of us will have a stroke in our lifetime.

The Know Stroke Podcast stands behind this mission as well so together we can be #GreaterThanStroke. Today we join the global stroke community to raise awareness and drive action on stroke prevention.  Get involved by sharing this episode and the new stroke resource the World Stroke Organization and In The Room have released with stroke survivor and podcast guest from Episode 52, Stacie Broek. In this special edition episode hear from Stacie as we bring her back to introduce this special project that will help raise awareness and provide a new interactive AI enhanced resource for survivors, caregivers and families impacted by stroke.
