• Integrative Oncology

  Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guest: Stacy D. D’Andre, M.D. When we diagnose a patient with cancer, we typically focus on finding the most effective treatment for that malignancy: surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy. However, to a patient, the diagnosis of cancer means much more. Patients commonly experience fear and anxiety just from receiving the diagnosis. Other symptoms may include insomnia, depression, pain, and symptomatic effects from the treatment including nausea, loss of appetite and fatigue to name just a few. The Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center has developed an integrative approach to help patients manage the variety of symptoms associated with malignancy. It centers around a multi-disciplinary team which assesses each patient individually and incorporates a variety of complementary treatments as well as physical and emotional support. It also includes nutrition and dietary supplement counseling and recommendations regarding exercise and movement. In this podcast, we’ll learn more about this fascinating approach to treating patients with cancer as we discuss “Integrative Oncology” with my guest, Stacy D. D’Andre, M.D., from the Department of Oncology at the Mayo Clinic.

• Exercise and Bariatric Surgery

  Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guest: Melinda J. Hahm Bariatric surgery is very likely the most effective method for long-term weight loss. It’s not unusual for patients to lose well over 50% of their excess body weight. As a result, a variety of chronic health risks are reduced including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, sleep apnea, hypertension to name just a few. Exercise, associated with bariatric surgery is important to help achieve and maintain long-term weight loss and help prevent regaining the weight lost. The topic for this podcast is “Exercise and Bariatric Surgery” and my guest is Melinda J. Hahm, an exercise physiologist from the Mayo Clinic. Some of the topics we’ll discuss include the benefits of exercise associated with bariatric surgery, when patients should start an exercise program in relation to their surgery and what type of exercise is best to help maintain weight loss.

• Parotid Gland Tumors

  Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guest: Eric J. Moore, M.D. Salivary gland tumors can be benign or malignant, as well as primary or metastatic. Malignant salivary gland tumors usually present after the 6th decade, whereas benign lesions tend to occur a bit earlier, usually in the 4th to 5th decades. An interesting statistic is that the vast majority of salivary gland tumors occur in the parotid, only about 10% occur in the submandibular salivary gland and less than 4% in the minor salivary glands. Fortunately, most parotid tumors are benign. Previous radiation as well as occupational exposure to silica and nitrosamines have been linked to malignant parotid tumors. What should a primary care clinician do when we discover a mass in the parotid gland? What imaging studies are helpful? What treatment is available and what happens if the tumor recurs? These are all questions I’ll be asking my guest, Eric J. Moore, M.D., Chair of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery at the Mayo Clinic as we discuss “Parotid Gland Tumors”.

• Inflammatory Bowel Disease Series: Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and Pregnancy

  Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guest: Sunanda V. Kane, M.D. Most people who develop inflammatory bowel disease are diagnosed before the age of 30. In women, this often occurs during the middle of their reproductive years. Some with inflammatory bowel disease choose to avoid pregnancy, usually due to misconceptions about pregnancy risks. Yet if properly managed, women can experience a normal, uneventful pregnancy and deliver a healthy child.  What effect does inflammatory bowel disease have on fertility? Do patients have a greater chance of a normal pregnancy if the bowel disease is in remission? How can patients minimize the risk of inflammatory bowel disease flares during pregnancy and are the pharmacologic therapies commonly used to treat inflammatory bowel disease safe to use during pregnancy? These are some of the questions I’ll ask my guest, Sunanda V. Kane, M.D., from the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at the Mayo Clinic as we discuss “Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Pregnancy”. https://ce.mayo.edu/content/mayo-clinic-talks-inflammatory-bowel-disease Connect with us and learn more here: https://ce.mayo.edu/online-education/content/mayo-clinic-podcasts

• Inflammatory Bowel Disease Series: Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Special Populations: The Elderly, Obese and LGBTQ Patient

  Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guests: Amanda M. Johnson, M.D., and Victor G. Chedid, M.D., M.S. This podcast continues our series on inflammatory bowel disease. The topic is important and timely: “Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Special Populations: The Elderly, the Obese and the LGBTQ Patient.” It’s critical that we broaden our perspective in addressing the unique challenges faced by these often-unrecognized population groups. How common is the presentation of inflammatory bowel disease in those over 65? How does age affect the treatments commonly used? Does obesity alter the disease presentation or activity and what are some of the unique challenges our LGBTQ patients face with inflammatory bowel disease? These are just some of the questions I’ll be asking my guests, Amanda M. Johnson, M.D., and Victor G. Chedid, M.D., M.S., both gastroenterologists at the Mayo Clinic. https://ce.mayo.edu/content/mayo-clinic-talks-inflammatory-bowel-disease Connect with us and learn more here: https://ce.mayo.edu/online-education/content/mayo-clinic-podcasts
