Let's talk Common Sense Oncology

Never heard of Common Sense Oncology?? Well if you enjoy this podcast then we think you will might find the Common Sense Oncology (CSO) movement to be very interesting indeed! Declan Murphy caught up recently with Dr Bishal Gyawali, Medical Oncologist at Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, to talk about CSO which he co-founded in 2023. They are on a mission to ensure that cancer care and innovation, should focus on results that are meaningful to patients (eg survival, quality of life, equity), rather than just regulatory approval, commercial success, or statistical endpoints. "Outcomes that matter", is their battle cry. They are also very focussed on communication, and are quick to call out when stakeholders make ridiculous claims for their product or innovation. And Bishal happens to be one of the very best communicators out there. Great to have him on GU Cast and we at GU Cast are 100% supportive of their mission. You can visit their website and join the movement for all the latest updates
