Caught between enthusiasm for technical innovation and the need for a critical assessment of research practices, the oncology is seeking a new path that offers real hope for effective treatments and a fair distribution of resources for the benefit of patients, because, as Prof. Gyawali’s elderly patient suggests, the real issue is that the quality of life depends entirely on the patient's perspective, which should not be ignored.
Enjoy listening to this episode of TJ Talks: a passionate reflection on the therapeutic approach, the balance between the acceleration of innovation and what has been proven to work, and the urgent need for a common-sense revolution in oncology. Prof. Bishal Gyawali is medical oncology and professor at Queen's University, (Canada) and, together with Dr Dario Trapani (medical oncologist at the IEO, Milan, Italy) - who is hosting the podcast on this occasion - is one of the founders of the Common Sense Oncology Movement, launched in 2023.
