  • Summary

  • Social media is saving lives. If that sounds like an extreme statement, listen to this conversation.

    There must be few of us who have not been touched by cancer in some way. It’s an area of healthcare where it seems there’s so much work to be done. But listening to Dr Shaalan Beg, who is a medical oncologist based in Texas, gave me so much hope.

    In this episode he talks about the amazing ways that cancer treatment has progressed in recent years - and also the challenges that all this new medical science brings with it.

    He’s passionate about access to clinical trials, and I learned from him about some of the challenges in the current system that lead to inequity of knowledge about, and access to, those trials.

    We talk about AI, and how it can be used to support clinical decisions, for better patient care.

    And we talk about Dr Beg’s journey on social media. He shares how vital he believes it is for oncologists to be present today, and he talks about where it’s going. I loved how he shared some of his favourite doctors on Instagram and TikTok and the impact they have on reaching the public.

    And of course we talk about the future.
