S04 E04 Dr. Priya Kumthekar: Glimpses of Hope for Leptomeningeal Metastases
Show Notes

This is a new stop in our ongoing series Road to a Cure. From the start, our goal for this series was not only to educate and give hope to every listener  but also to ensure that  each of these special interviews feels like an intimate conversation with our smartest friend who also happens to be an oncologist researcher. 

Co-hosts Victoria Goldberg and Dr. Paula Jayne sit down with neuro-oncologist Dr. Priya Kumthekar to talk about leptomeningeal metastases: what they are, how are they treated, and what research is upcoming, including a discussion on ANGled, the new Phase 3 trial for MBC patients newly diagnosed with leptomeningeal metastases. 


 We end this episode on a hopeful note with  a little Dash of Joy  from our Creator and Senior Producer Lisa Laudico.
