What if your cancer treatment was designed just for you?
In this episode of Breast Cancer Conversations, host Dr. Laura Carfang sits down with Jim Foote, CEO and co-founder of First Ascent Biomedical, to explore how AI-powered functional precision medicine is transforming cancer care.
Instead of relying on one-size-fits-all treatment plans, this breakthrough approach tests your actual tumor cells against hundreds of FDA-approved drugs—revealing which therapies truly work for you and which don’t.
🧬 You’ll learn:
- How functional precision medicine differs from genetic testing
- Why AI and lab automation are revolutionizing oncology
- Real-life patient stories of hope and survival
- How this technology cuts costs and reduces toxicity
- Why personalization could become the new standard of care
🎧 Tune in to hear how technology, compassion, and science are coming together to rewrite the future of cancer treatment.
👉 Watch. Learn. Share. Because the future of oncology is personal.
