Episode 105: Separating Hype from Hope for Cancer Patients
from Healthcare Unfiltered · host Chadi Nabhan
Christopher Booth, MD, Professor in the Departments of Oncology and Medicine as well as a Health Services Researcher, Queen's University (Canada), brings a different perspective to the show on healthcare policy and where the cancer system may be failing patients. Dr. Booth shares the “desert island” hypothetical scenario he used in a previous publication in which he asked oncologists all over the world for their 10 cancer drugs they would take to the “island” to help their patients. Then, he shares his thoughts on the relatively novel concepts of the “value crisis” and “time toxicity” he sees in cancer care, how to reconcile benefit to individual patients vs patient populations, the translation from efficacy to effectiveness within treatments, ways to temper patient expectations when it comes to hype vs hope for treatments and recovery goals, and a whole lot more.Check out Chadi’s website for all Healthcare Unfiltered episodes and other content. www.chadinabhan.com/Watch all Healthcare Unfiltered episodes on Youtube. www.youtube.com/channel/UCjiJPTpIJdIiukcq0UaMFsA
