The CAP-IT Podcast (CAP-IT Podcast) explores advances in cancer prevention and interception through engaging, accessible conversations grounded in patient perspectives. Bringing together researchers, clinicians, patients, and advocates, the series connects cutting-edge science with real-world questions and needs, highlighting why the research matters and its potential impact on the future of cancer prevention and interception.
In the first episode of the CAP-IT Podcast, Dr. Margie Clapper, a cancer prevention researcher at Fox Chase Cancer Center, sits down with patient advocate Erica Kirschner of the Li-Fraumeni Syndrome Association for a candid conversation about living with hereditary cancer risk and the promise of cancer prevention and interception. Together, they explore the challenges faced by high-risk individuals, the importance of genetic testing and patient–scientist collaboration, and how CAP-IT research aims to intervene at the earliest stages of cancer development before a tumor can even be detected.
