Lung Cancer – No Longer the Disease We Once Thought It Was

Join Dr. Tania Small, head of Medical Affairs at Bristol Myers Squibb, for a forward-looking episode of DoctoRx Unscripted, featuring leading thoracic oncologists Dr. Christine Lovly and Dr. Nate Pennell. Together, they examine innovations redefining what’s possible for patients with lung cancer: * Biomarker-driven therapy and molecular profiling; * Liquid biopsy and ctDNA testing; * AI-assisted detection and radiomics; and * Next-generation immunotherapies, including bispecifics, T-cell engagers, and personalized vaccines. They also share their perspectives on a critical challenge: translating scientific progress into real-world impact by expanding access and closing gaps in care. If you're working to advance oncology care—or interested in deepening your understanding of what’s shaping its future—this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.

Part 3 - Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: Hidden in Plain Sight

Part 3 - The Movement Join Dr. Tania Small, head of Medical Affairs at Bristol Myers Squibb, for a special edition of DoctoRx Unscripted, focused on hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM)—one of the most common inherited cardiac diseases and one of the most frequently missed.    In Part 3, Dr. Small sits down with patient advocate Lisa Salberg, founder of the Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Association (HCMA), to explore how a personal diagnosis evolved into a global movement—helping to establish more than 60 Centers of Excellence around the world.    The conversation reinforces why embedding the patient voice early is essential to advancing cardiovascular medicine.
