  • Oncology, Etc. – Dr. Lori Pierce’s Path From Engineering To Oncology

    Oncology, Etc. – Dr. Lori Pierce’s Path From Engineering To Oncology
    Jul 11 2023
    There are many treatments available for cancer  but how do you make csre delivery equitable? Given the various types of cancers how can you allocate the right resources to create equal outcomes? Dr. Lori Pierce has made equity a primary focus of her career. She describes how physics and radiology inspired her to be an engineer (6:06), and the moment she decided to transition from engineer to oncologist (12;54) and achieving the position of Vice-provost at the University of Michigan (23:01).

I'm Pat Loehrer, Director of Global Oncology and Health Equity at Indiana University.  Dave Johnson: Hi, I'm Dave Johnson at UT Southwestern in Dallas, Texas. I'm a Medical Oncologist. If you're a regular listener to our podcast, welcome back. If you're new to Oncology, Etc., the purpose of the program is to introduce listeners to interesting people and topics in and outside the world of oncology; hence the ‘et cetera’ in our name. Pat, we've got a great guest today. And we’ve got a great guest today. Pat Loehrer: Our next guest was able to do this despite living at a time when in the United States, certain groups of people faced tremendous barriers to achieve even the basic hint of equality. Our next guest is Lori Pierce. Dr. Pierce attended Duke University School of Medicine and completed a radiation oncology residency and chief residency at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. She was then appointed as a senior investigator at the National Cancer Institute, the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, from 1990 to 1992. And in 1992, she joined the faculty at the University of Michigan, where she currently is a professor with tenure in Radiation Oncology.  Since coming to Michigan, she has served as Residency Director and Clinical Director in the Department of Radiation Oncology. In August of 2005, she was appointed by the University Board of Regents to be the Vice-Provost for Academic and Faculty Affairs, a position she still holds. In 2020, she was ASCO President, and while she ascended to the ASCO Presidency, that year COVID descended upon the Earth, and we may hear some stories about that. She's dedicated her career to the treatment of breast cancer patients. She's published over 200 manuscripts and book chapters and has received numerous teaching awards from the University of Michigan, multiple national organizations, and many national awards.  Dr. Pierce, thank you so much for joining us today.  Dr. Lori Pierce: I am so happy to join you both today. What an incredibly nice introduction. Thank you so much.  Pat Loehrer: You were born and raised in Washington, DC. And the family eventually moved to Philadelphia when I think you were in junior high school. Can you paint a picture of what schooling was like for you growing up? Dr. Lori Pierce: Well, schooling, education was just so important to my family and myself. And so, as you said, I was born and raised in DC. Moved to Philadelphia when I was just entering high school. And my parents, who are just the best people on the planet, didn't have an opportunity to go to college. At that point, a lot of people of color didn't really have that opportunity. So education was so important in my family. So if you think about the important issues in my life, there was our faith, our family, and education. And so my sister, who is four years older, she went to college first. After about two years, I transferred and actually graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, and I did that. It was my idea.  My parents at that point were living in Philadelphia. My mother was working at Penn, and so I would have free tuition if I went to Penn. And Penn is a great place as is Brown. My parents didn't ask me to transfer, but I did. And I received, obviously, an excellent education at both institutions. I majored in biomedical engineering and I minored in chemical engineering and was pre-med. I had to be strategic in how I was going to pay for my education because my parents and they took out loans, they covered everything, almost everything. My sister and I had some loans, but they took out most of the loans.  But they always had an agreement. And the agreement was that both my ...

  • Cancer Topics - Oncology Practice In Rural Settings Part 1

    Cancer Topics - Oncology Practice In Rural Settings Part 1
    Jun 21 2023

TRANSCRIPT Disclosures for this podcast are listed on the podcast page.  Dr. Jack Hensold: Hello and welcome to this two-part episode of the ASCO Education Podcast. Today we will explore some real-time and real-world issues that oncologists face while practicing in rural areas in the US and abroad. Cities tend to benefit from having more doctors, facilities, and equipment to address the health needs of the population. In contrast, people who live in rural areas – estimated to be about 25% of the US population – face various challenges to obtaining consistent health care, including scarce medical personnel and infrastructure. Transportation of that care may involve considerable time and financial expense.  I'm Dr. Jack Hensold, the Hematologist/Oncologist in Bozeman, Montana, and Chair of the ASCO Rural Cancer Care Task Force. I also serve as Medical Director of Regional Outreach at Bozeman Health. Joining me is Chris Prakash, Oncologist and Medical Director of Texas Oncology and President of the Texas Society of Clinical Oncology. Chris is also the Director of Quality Services for the statewide group and leads Texas Oncologist's Precision Medicine Initiative.  Also joining me is Professor Sabe Sabesan, a Medical Oncologist in regional Australia. He is the President-Elect of the Clinical Oncology Society of Australia and Clinical Director of the Australian Teledyne Health Program, led by the Queensland State Department of Health. Professor Sabesan is an internationally recognized expert in the area of tele-oncology. He has developed and evaluated various oncology models to deliver cancer care closer to home.  Providing healthcare is a very involved career, more so in rural areas. Dr. Prakash, you finished your oncology training in Detroit, yet you practice primarily in rural Texas. Can you detail the factors that led to your decision in practicing oncology in a rural setting?  Dr. Chris Prakash: Thank you, Jack, for having me as part of this podcast. I finished my fellowship at Wayne State in Detroit, Michigan, and we were looking for a place to raise our kids and family and to find a good practice for myself. My daughter was two years old at that time. We were looking for a quiet, safe place with a laidback lifestyle, but at the same time a dynamic oncology practice. That's how I found East Texas, which is primarily a rural area. The small community here, good schools, and nice, accepting people really appealed to us. So we decided to give it a chance. We are still here almost 23 years later. My daughter has grown up and is in medical school. My son, who was born in Paris, Texas, is planning to go to med school next year.  Over the last couple of decades, I've found that practicing oncology in a rural setting is indeed very rewarding. You can make a difference in people's lives here. People are simple. They have faith and respect and follow doctors' advice. Practicing here, I've had a real chance to make a difference in not only people's lives but also in the overall healthcare system and in health policy. As you know, Jack, about 18% to 20% of the population lives in rural areas in the US. But only 3% of oncologists are available to provide care for them. So I'm not only fulfilling a need but also satisfying a desire to contribute.  Dr. Jack Hensold: Chris, could you clarify the nature of your practice? Are you a solo oncologist within a much larger group spread out over the state, or is there more than ...

I'm Pat Loehrer, director of Global Oncology and Health Equity at Indiana University.  Dave Johnson: And I'm Dave Johnson of Medical Oncology at the University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas, Texas. If you're a regular listener to our podcast, welcome back. If you're new to Oncology, Etc., the purpose of our podcast is to introduce listeners to interesting and inspirational people and topics in and outside the world of Oncology. We have an inspirational guest today. Pat?  Pat Loehrer: If you ask anyone who's achieved any level of success and how they've achieved it, most likely they'll mention a number of people who've influenced them along the way. Quite often, these people reflect on their mentors, and after a certain time of accomplishment and reflection, they begin to mentor others. This is very much what our next guest has done. Dr. Hyman Muss has been a mentor to me and to Dave, and he's one of the most outstanding, wonderful people in the world, and we're so excited to have him today.   Dr. Hyman Muss served in the US Army in Vietnam, where he was awarded the Bronze Star Medal. He's an experienced Clinician Scientist, the Mary Jones Hudson Distinguished Professor of Geriatric Oncology at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, and the Director of Geriatric Oncology Program at the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center Program. His interest in education and research is focused on cancer and older patients, and he is internationally recognized in this area. He's been the co-chair of the Alliance Committee on Cancer and Older Adults and won the BJ Kennedy Award from ASCO in Geriatric Care. His particular interest in research expertise is in the care of breast cancer patients, with a focus on the management of women who are of older ages. He's had a major interest in breast cancer survivorship and long-term toxicity of treatment and also served as the co-chair of the Breast Committee for the Alliance Group. He serves as a mentor for medical students, medical residents, junior faculty, and more recently, his Geriatric Oncology fellows. He served on the Board of Directors of the ASCO Foundation and on the ABIM, the American Board of Internal Medicine, where both Dave and I were privileged to work with him and witness his leadership and his deep breadth of knowledge.  Dr. Muss, thanks for joining us today. Dr. Hyman Muss: What a pleasure to be here. Thank you so much for inviting me. My mother would have loved the introduction.  Pat Loehrer: Well, speaking of that, tell us a little bit. You grew up in Brooklyn, so tell us a little bit about your parents. Your father was a dentist, I think, and your uncle was a general practitioner. So give us a little bit of the early life of Hy Muss. Dr. Hyman Muss: So I grew up in Brooklyn, New York. I was born and bred there. I went to Brooklyn Technical High School. I almost went to Brooklyn College, but I came back and went to Downstate Medical Center, which was just terrific. My tuition was $600 a year, but that's another story. My parents lived in the same neighborhood. My dad was a dentist, so we knew all the people. My uncle was the GP. You came into their office, sat down, and they saw you anytime, day or night, almost 24/7, something we're probably not going back to, but they had a profound influence on me. My uncle, as a GP, used to take me on house calls in Brooklyn when they were done, and he had an old Buick with MD plates. And I would go into these families, and they loved him, and they would give me ice cream and things. Maybe that's what made me a doctor. But it was a terrific and indelible experience. I had terrific parents. In those days, doctors and medical people usually lived ...
