Show Notes
As a Visiting Fellow at the Independent Women’s Forum and Director of Medicine for the American Council on Science and Health, I had the pleasure of hosting this Working For Women podcast and interview with preeminent cancer researcher and physician scientist Dr. Richard Pestell. In it, we speak about metastatic breast cancer, triple negative breast cancer, what is hopeful on the horizon, why he is excited about his current work and what obstacles are impeding progress in treatments. This is important because with such aggressive diseases especially there shouldn’t be any unnecessary lag time getting targeted therapeutics from lab bench to patient bedside.His take home message is that advocates are “essential in driving discoveries to cures” and their involvement is instrumental in the many new improvements we have, so he urges everyone to get involved whether for yourself or a loved one.
