When your doctor says you need “cancer treatment,” do you know what that actually means?
Most people immediately think of chemotherapy. But if you or someone you love is facing a cancer diagnosis, understanding the full range of treatment options could be the difference between feeling overwhelmed and feeling empowered.
Dr. Katie Deming sits down with Dr. Jason Konner, a medical oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, to break down the three main types of systemic cancer treatment used today: chemotherapy, targeted therapies, and immunotherapies.
Chapters:
03:43 – Three Main Types of Cancer Treatment
16:34 – Why First-Line Therapies Matter
20:48 – Combining Holistic and Conventional Care
31:23 – Essential Questions to Ask Your Oncologist
43:42 – When and Why to Seek a Second Opinion
Dr. Konner shares the insider perspective on second opinions, what those complex drug names really mean, and how to build the kind of relationship with your medical team that leads to better outcomes.
You’ll learn how some patients unknowingly sabotage their own care and what questions can instantly make you a more informed patient.
Listen and learn how to walk into any oncologist's office with confidence, ask the right questions, and truly understand your options.
Don't let medical jargon and complex choices keep you in the dark when clear thinking matters most.
