Medical advances including cancer therapies and surgical innovations will be explored in a new season of the podcast Tomorrow’s Cure.
Produced by Mayo Clinic, the chart-topping podcast returns for its fifth season on 24 June, introducing journalist Lindsey Seavert as its new host.
Lindsey, an Emmy and Edward R. Murrow Award winning journalist, will lead discussions with researchers, physicians and industry experts about developments that could shape future healthcare.
The new season will feature conversations with experts working across cancer treatment, surgery and emerging therapies.
Among the guests is Paige Taylor, assistant professor in the Department of Radiation Physics at MD Anderson Cancer Center.
She discusses carbon ion therapy and why it is becoming one of the most closely watched developments in radiation oncology, as researchers explore its potential role in precision cancer treatment.
The series also includes an interview with Timothy Lautz. He explains how fluorescence guided surgery is helping surgeons visualise tumours, nerves and blood flow during procedures, with the aim of making operations safer, more accurate and less invasive.
Another episode features Melinda Bachini from the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation. She discusses cholangiocarcinoma, a rare bile duct cancer, and examines how research into RNA therapeutics and targeted drug delivery could influence future treatment options.
The podcast is aimed at patients, healthcare professionals and listeners interested in medical innovation, highlighting research and technologies that are already beginning to change healthcare.
Season five of Tomorrow’s Cure will release weekly episodes on all podcast platforms from 24 June.
