Becoming a Sage Physician (or clinician) requires you to care expertly for your patients and also care expertly for yourself.

Expanding your toolbox, finding the root cause of your patients' concerns, learning to set and keep your boundaries and matching your life to your values are examples of how you can go from being a stressed out and disillusioned physician to becoming a Sage Physician,

Starting off the 3rd season of "When We Had Cancer," which newly features providers (in the general sense) of cancer patients, is an interview with Dr. Fumiko Chino. Dr. Chino is a radiation oncologist in Manhattan, New York City, at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Daughter of a radiation oncologist and sister to two radiation oncologists, Dr. Chino discusses many things that fall under the emotional wellbeing and challenges of cancer providers, including 1) the tribulations of growing up with a hard-working physician-mother; 2) the extent of our cancer therapies; 3) research that tailors to patients' needs; 4) the importance of flexibility and boundaries with work; 5) connecting and empathizing with patients; and 6) celebrating the wins with cancer care wherever you can.

In this episode of "In the Rising Podcast," host Bettina Brown speaks with Susan DeLorenzo, who shares how being diagnosed with invasive breast cancer changed the trajectory of her life. DeLorenzo had previously undergone a lumpectomy for calcifications in her left breast, but the cancer returned. Despite the fear and uncertainty that came with her diagnosis, DeLorenzo turned her experience into a positive one, using it to spread hope, love, gratitude, and kindness in the world. Brown and DeLorenzo discuss the importance of turning away from shame and blame and instead focusing on alignment with hopes, dreams, and goals.

Her heartfelt story is unforgettable. To learn more about Susan visit her website.

High-dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy is a newer, accelerated cancer treatment that allows physicians to deliver equivalent doses of radiation in as little as one to four outpatient treatments that last just a few minutes each. Matthew Biagioli, MD, a radiation oncologist at the Brian D. Jellison Cancer Institute at Sarasota Memorial, discusses this treatment and why it's another great option for cancer care.

Stanford radiation oncologist, Billy Loo, says that a new generation of radiation therapy technology called PHASER will be so fast that it can even compensate for the patient moving during treatment.

High-energy X-rays will be fired so quickly, like a flash photograph, that motion is frozen and radiation can be more precisely focused on tumors. His research team is also finding that such ultra-fast “FLASH” radiation kills cancer cells through new biological mechanisms while causing less damage to healthy tissues.

Loo says that while radiation benefits two-thirds of U.S. patients, half of patients with cancer around the world lack access to these curative technologies. To address issues of access, the Stanford Radiation Oncology and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory team is designing PHASER to be a mobile unit that will fit in a standard cargo shipping container and can be powered by solar energy.

Join host Russ Altman and radiation oncologist Billy Loo for a discussion of advances in radiation therapy that are giving new optimism to cancer patients and others. You can listen to the Future of Everything on Sirius XM Insight Channel 121, iTunes, SoundCloud and Stanford Engineering Magazine.
