Cancer Is Personal: Treat It That Way | Ben Whately & Padman Vamadevan
Description
Cancer treatment isn’t one disease = one drug. It’s thousands of different stories playing out at a molecular level and yet when it comes to care, we’re still treating most of them the same way.
Padman Vamadevan and Ben Whately, co-founders of Astron Health, are rethinking oncology from the ground up. Here we explore why recurrence is such an under-addressed problem, how AI can help oncologists cut through a tidal wave of research and what it looks like to track cancer like a chronic disease instead of a binary cure-or-palliative model.
We cover:
🧬 Why two 'identical' cancers can be worlds apart biologically
🤖 How AI condenses 170,000+ research papers into actionable options
🩺 The blank space after an 'all clear' and how to fill it
📊 Longitudinal data: tracking disease drivers over time
🛠️ Safe iteration with proven drugs, supplements & lifestyle changes
