  • Resumen

  • Oncology is a rapidly evolving medical field. So how do you keep up with all the advances and updates that are delivered through publications, conferences, and social media? This ASCO Education podcast explores how three oncologists in various settings and stages of their career manage this issue. Our moderator Dr. Adriana Alvarez, a medical oncologist at Cleveland Clinic in Ohio is joined by Dr. Sharad Goyal, a professor and division chief of Radiation Oncology at George Washington University in Washington, DC; Dr. Shruti Patel, an oncology fellow at Stanford University in California; and Dr. Banu Symington, a medical oncologist at Memorial Hospital of Sweetwater County in Wyoming, and adjunct professor in the University of Utah College of Nursing. Each will describe what they do to keep up to date on research advances and guidelines (3:25), how they find time to stay current in their field (7:25) and how they follow developments outside of their area of concentration (13:57).  The speakers have no relevant disclosures.  Resources: Podcast: Cancer Topics - Burned Out?

TRANSCRIPT Disclosures for this podcast are listed on the podcast page.  Dr. Adriana Alvarez: An oncologist recently described that while sitting on a couch to write an article, by the time he finished his first paragraph, he received six notifications on his iPhone from WhatsApp, Twitter, and other messages. He knows what the dilemma is; you can shut down your phone, but you become worried about missing an urgent call or important update. The oncologist knows that social media is a place to follow friends and colleagues, to discover new presentations, and even debate about them. However, he understands the overload of information that is part of the rapidly evolving field of oncology. On any given day or week, there are research advances and updates in the management of cancer being shared through journal publications, conference presentations, newsletters, social media, and other methods. How does one keep up to date with these advances in oncology?  I'm Dr. Adriana Alvarez, a medical oncologist at Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. In this ASCO Education Podcast, we will examine what various oncology professionals at different stages in their careers and working in different practice settings, namely academic versus community and urban versus rural, are doing to manage the large amount of information influx regarding advances in oncology.  Joining me are Dr. Sharad Goyal, a professor and division chief of radiation oncology at George Washington University in Washington, DC; Dr. Shruti Patel, an oncology fellow at Stanford University; and Dr. Banu Symington, a medical oncologist at Memorial Hospital of Sweetwater County in Wyoming, and adjunct professor in the University of Utah College of Nursing.  Let's start. One of the first questions I have here is how you can describe your current field of focus in oncology. Dr. Patel? Dr. Shruti Patel: My current clinical focus in oncology is in thoracic and gastrointestinal malignancies, while my research interests include clinical trials, liquid biopsy, and diversity, and equity and inclusion.  Dr. Sharad Goyal: My current clinical and research focus is on breast cancer, radiation therapy, as well as radiation therapy with respect to neuro-oncology in the neuro-oncology space. Dr. Adriana Alvarez: What about you, Dr. Symington? Dr. Banu Symington: I'm a general oncologist, medical oncologist, in an extreme rural, I'm considered a frontier practice. I have a special interest in eliminating the social disparity that is represented by rurality, and I'm interested in clinical trials. We are the only Wyoming Cancer Center that opened clinical trials. Dr. Adriana Alvarez: Well, it's all wonderful to hear about you and know a little bit about what your focus of work is, and we come from a variety of backgrounds. How do you feel like you keep up to date with the clinical practice, the research parts with new drugs approval in oncology? You are still in training Dr. Patel. How do you do that? Dr. Shruti Patel: As a millennial, it may come as no surprise that I primarily stay up to date on clinical practice guidelines via Twitter on my phone. I find Twitter to be the best place to learn new information. Just because you don't just get information about the new approvals, but typically experts in the field will weigh in on the trial design, their thoughts on whether it truly will replace the current standard of care or what situations they might use the new approval for, which can really be helpful, especially as a fellow in training. It's helpful ...
