Welcome to the Caring and Sharing Advanced Oncology podcast. In this episode, Uta Schmidt-Straßburger is joined again by Dr. Joe Lennerz, a board-certified pathologist and the chief scientific officer at BostonGene.
The discussion covers two notable papers from BostonGene scientists, featured on the covers of Cancer Cell and Gastroenterology. These papers delve into tumor sample profiling, introducing new classification methods.
Starting with the Cancer Cell paper, Dr. Lennerz explained their advanced immunoprofiling assay from blood, which uses high-complexity techniques to provide a comprehensive "immune system count" of over 300 markers. This approach identifies five distinct immunotypes, aiding in predicting responses to immunotherapy, particularly in cancers like head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
Next, the Gastroenterology paper focuses on a microenvironment classification of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). By analyzing transcriptomic data from over 1600 patients, the team identified four microenvironment subtypes with significant prognostic implications. These findings could lead to better stratification and treatment approaches for this aggressive cancer.
Dr. Lennerz emphasized the potential of these classifications in clinical trials and personalized treatment plans, highlighting the innovative strides in oncology research.
Tune in to learn more about these groundbreaking studies and their impact on cancer treatment. If you enjoyed the episode, please like and subscribe. Thank you!

In this episode of Caring & Sharing – The Advanced Oncology podcast, we are meeting Prof. Dr. Reinhard Meier, co-founder of the investment capital company YZR (pronounced w-i-s-e-r), who worked as a radiologist at Ulm University Hospitals and continues to serve as a lecturer for radiology and AI in medicine. The latter is a rather recent development, and we therefore discontinue his lecture on telemedicine. Yes, he was co-founder of the now well-established platform TeleClinic, too.
We talked about Reinhard’s own path into venture capital and how his experiences have shaped his entrepreneurial spirit. And what it takes to obtain funding from YZR. Theinteresting part remains that innovative ideas materialize to make healthcare better for everyone involved. And suddenly venture capitalism sounds really enticing …
Tune in on streaming platforms this Friday!

In dieser Folge von "Caring and Sharing: Der Advanced Oncology Podcast" tauchen wir ein in die innovative Welt der Krebsprävention mit Dr. Angelika Kestler, einer engagierten Gastroenterologin mit SchwerpunktOnkologie an den Universitätskliniken Ulm.
Dr. Kestler ist zu Gast, um über die Web-Applikation Prevent Take Up zu sprechen, die darauf abzielt, Krebsprävention gezielt in Angriff zu nehmen,insbesondere im Hinblick auf Darm-, Brust- und Prostatakrebs, und vor allem bereits bei jüngeren Erwachsenen aktiv über Prävention zu informieren.
Als Dozentin im Studiengang Advanced Oncology betont Dr. Kestler die Bedeutung der Früherkennung und Prävention im Kampf gegen die steigende Inzidenz und Auftreten späterer dieser Krebsarten bei jüngeren Patient*innen.
Die Prevent Take Up Web-Applikation bietet einen einfachen Fragebogen mit 20 Fragen, der für jede*n mit einem Computer zugänglich ist. Die Zielgruppe umfasst Personen, die ihren Hausarzt möglicherweise nicht regelmäßig aufsuchen, sowie jüngere Verwandte von Krebspatient*innen, die einen gesünderen Lebensstilanstreben.
Durch die Identifizierung persönlicher Risikofaktoren über diese DSGVO-konforme Plattform erhalten Nutzer*innen evidenzbasierte Informationen und Verhaltensempfehlungen, die auf ihre individuellen Profile zugeschnitten sind.
Wie Prof. Thomas Seufferlein, Co-Leiter des Projekts, zu sagen pflegt:
"Der beste Weg, Krebs zu behandeln, besteht darin, ihn erst gar nicht zu bekommen."
Begleiten Sie uns auf unserem Ausflug in die Landschaft der Krebsprävention mit Prevent Take Up!

ENGLISH:
Dr. Angelika Kestler, a GI oncologist of our Department of Internal Medicine I of Ulm University Hospitals met with us to talk about the Prevent Take Up web application. As a lecturer of the Advanced Oncology study program, Dr. Kestler covers early stages of colorectal cancer, and she is interested in shedding light where there is currently an increase in cancer incidence and late stage presentation, and this includes colorectal, breast and prostate cancers in younger people.
The web application consists of a simple questionnaire of 20 questions and is aimed at everyone with access to a computer and particularly people who do not see their general practitioner on a regular basis but also younger relatives of cancer patients who may start to worry and desire to change their lifestyle towards healthieroptions. Because early detection of an existing tumor might mean cure. And this is beneficial not only for the person undergoing the treatment but for the oncologist and the healthcare system alike.
Why is this a web application and not an app? Check out our podcast at the usual streaming platforms.
What are your personal risk factors? The GDPR-conforming site provides evidence-based information andbehavioral recommendations based on your input. This is in line with what the co-PI of the project, Prof. Thomas Seufferlein, once said
“The best way to treat cancer is not to get it in the first place”.

🎤 In this episode, Dr. Uta Schmidt-Straßburger meets Prof. Dr. Mike-Andrew Westhoff, a basic researcher in the Department of Pediatrics of Ulm University and lecturer of the Advanced Oncology study program to discuss someof his previous works.
➡ The full article is found here:https://www.thno.org/v11p6682.htm
In this paper, not only a short history of cancer and cancerresearch is delineated but more so the possibilities that come with observational and comparative biology.
🐘 Do you know how many copies of the (in)famous tumor suppressor protein TP53 an elephant has (the answer is in the paper)? 🐕 What can we learn from dog oncology for transplantation medicine (the answer is in the podcast)?🎧 Tune in to learn more.
🐋 Unfortunately, we cannot grant professor Westhoff hisbiggest wish, a whale observatory in Ulm. Still, we cross our fingers for any of his research proposals to receive funding that explores the possibilities of comparing certain cancers in animals in order to understand the human ones better.

GER: Weiterbildungen sind oft anstrengend. Besonders neben Beruf und Leben. Ein volles Masterstudium neben dem Beruf schreckt ab.
Deswegen gibt es weitere Möglichkeiten, sein Wissen in kleineren Etappen zu fördern. Diese Etappen bestehen ausMicrocredentials, Certificates, Diplomas oder schlussendlich dem Master.
➡ In dieser Folge treffen wir Frau Dr. Melina Klepsch, die Geschäftsführerin der School of Advanced Professional Studies (SAPS).
Wir beschäftigen wir uns mit dem Baukastensystem der akademischen und berufsbegleitenden Weiterbildung. Dabei sprechen wir das europäische System der Leistungspunkte, ECTS, an sowie das von der Schweiz übernommene System der Weiterbildung.
Sie erfahren, was
ein Microcredential, ein Certificate of Advanced Studies, ein Diploma of Advanced Studies ist und wie Sie davon ausgehend einen Masterabschluss erreichen können.Sie erfahren auch, wie die einzelnen Module von Advanced Oncology in dieses System passen und wieviele Fortbildungspunkte es von der der Landesärztekammer Baden-Württemberg zu den Modulen gibt.
Denn: akademische Weiterbildung und ärztliche Fortbildung sind mitunter nur unterschiedliche Bezeichnungen eines identischen Angebots, das in einer Hochschule angesiedelt ist.

EN: In todays episode, we are meeting Dr. Melina Klepsch, the managing director of the School of Advanced Professional Studies (SAPS), the central unit for continuing education of Ulm University. Our conversation covers the modular system of academic continuing part-time education. We cover both, theEuropean Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) points as well as the Swiss model of continuing education.
You will learn in the episode about
microcredentials Certificates of Advanced Studies Diplomas of Advanced Studies and how to use these stepping stones to earn a Master’s degree.You will also learn how the different modules of Advanced Oncology fit into this system and how many CME credit points by the Board of Physicians of the state of Baden-Württemberg (LÄK) you earn for these modules.
Main message: academic continuing education and medical continuing education are oftentimes the same when offered by a higher education body. One continuing education – many great points.
