Guest: John Cho, MD, PhD, FRCPC Surgery for mesothelioma after radiation therapy (SMART) offers new hope for patients with resectable epithelioid mesothelioma by reversing the traditional treatment sequence. Hear from Dr. John Cho as he discusses the rationale behind this decade-long clinical advancement, which he spoke about at the 2025 World Conference on Lung Cancer. Dr. Cho is a radiation oncologist at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre and an Associate Professor in the Department of

Guest: John Cho, MD, PhD, FRCPC While early findings using the SMART protocol for mesothelioma have been encouraging, replication has proven challenging due to steep surgical learning curves, complexities in planning, and skepticism. Dr. John Cho explores why adoption has been limited and what's next for this approach, which he discussed at the 2025 World Conference on Lung Cancer. Dr. Cho is a radiation oncologist at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre and an Associate Professor in the

Host: Ryan Quigley The World Health Organization's new Integrated Lung Health Resolution is the first to explicitly include lung cancer within a global lung health framework. In this AudioAbstract, ReachMD's Ryan Quigley explains what this means for screening, early diagnosis, care pathways, and equitable access to treatment.

Host: Charles Turck, PharmD, BCPS, BCCCP Guest: Jonathan Barratt, MD, PhD Delayed diagnosis and limited treatment options have historically been barriers to optimal management of IgA nephropathy (IgAN), but that paradigm may be shifting. A paper published in Kidney International in April 2025 points out that significant nephron loss often occurs before diagnosis, making early, targeted treatment essential. The paper makes the case for lowering proteinuria thresholds, minimizing

Host: Gates B. Colbert, MD Guest: Abdallah Geara, MD IgA nephropathy (IgAN) has a decades-long progression that requires careful monitoring of key biomarkers to optimize management. Hematuria, proteinuria, and estimated glomerular filtration rate levels are all critical to tracking the progression of the disease, and understanding how they’re connected can not only improve prognostication but also guide earlier, more targeted interventions to preserve kidney function. Joining Dr

Host: Gates B. Colbert, MD Guest: Abdallah Geara, MD Guest: Ellie Kelepouris, MD, FACP, FAHA IgA nephropathy (IgAN) presents with a wide range of clinical signs, making timely detection and coordinated care essential. This multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and management can manifest in a number of ways, from clinical evaluation and laboratory testing to emerging biomarkers and evolving treatment options. Joining Dr. Gates Colbert to discuss how we can use these

Moderator: Susan Corbridge, PhD, APRN, ACNP-BC, FAANP, FCCP, FAAN Guest: Bradford Bemiss, MD MSCR Guest: Debasree Banerjee, MD, MS, FCCP Effectively supporting patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) requires more than just clinical knowledge—it demands strong, trust-based communication from the very first moments spent with a patient. Dr. Susan Corbridge sits down with Drs. Brad Bemiss and Debasree Banerjee to explore how the American College of Chest Physicians

Guest: Paola Marignani, PhD, EMBA While smoking remains a key risk factor for lung cancer, up to 25 percent of cases occur in people who have never smoked, leaving significant gaps in our understanding of causation and diagnostics. Dr. Paola Marignani explores emerging discoveries in gene variants unique to never-smokers, uncovered through single-cell RNA sequencing and machine learning. Dr. Marignani is a Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Dalhousie

Host: Peter Buch, MD, FACG, AGAF, FACP Guest: Iris Wang, M.D. From symptom trackers to multidisciplinary app-based platforms, evidence-based digital therapeutics are expanding access to brain-gut behavioral care for patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Dr. Peter Buch sits down with Dr. Iris Wang to discuss the spectrum of available tools and explore strategies for aligning them with individual patient needs. Dr. Wang is an Associate

Guest: Francis Farraye, MD Host: Peter Buch, MD, FACG, AGAF, FACP A 2025 update to the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG)'s guideline on preventive care in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) includes key changes impacting vaccine recommendations, dermatologic screening, and care coordination. Dr. Peter Buch sits down with Dr. Francis Farraye, lead author of this guideline, to highlight what clinicians need to know. Dr. Farraye is a Professor of Medicine and the Director of

Guest: Thomas DeLoughery, MD Host: Peter Buch, MD, FACG, AGAF, FACP Iron deficiency anemia is common in gastroenterology patients and is often underrecognized or suboptimally managed. That's why targeted treatment is essential to improve patient outcomes. In this expert-led discussion, Dr. Peter Buch and Dr. Thomas DeLoughery outline what gastroenterologists need to know about oral vs IV iron, absorption dynamics, and tailoring therapy for various patient populations.
