Simply Oncology
Welcome to Simply Oncology.
Cancer is daunting for both patients and for clinical teams.
Dr John McGrane and Dr Michael Rowe are oncologists who want to break down the complex parts of cancer care into clear and simple sessions.
We will dive deep into the world of cancer research, patient stories and the latest cancer breakthroughs.
Simply Oncology will have patient focused episodes along with episodes that allow anyone with an interest in oncology to stay up to date.
We hope you join us as we unpick all parts of cancer.

Episode 17:Patient Fundamentals - Patient overview of hormone therapy in prostate cancer with Debbie Victor BAUN nurse specialist
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Hormone therapy is a key part of prostate cancer treatment. Removing access to testosterone starves prostate cancer and can cause a 'manopause' or male menopause symptoms.
We discuss this with clinical nurse and BAUN trustee- Debbie Victor.
We look at the impact of this on prostate cancer patients and what positive steps patients can take to tackle these side effects themselves.
We hope you enjoy.
