You're listening to Plenary Session.

I'm Vinay Prasad.

I'm an associate professor of medicine at the Oregon Health and Science University,

and I'm your host of Plenary Session.

This week on Plenary Session, we've got two things coming up for you.

First, Dr. Joaquin Chapa, who's an OHSU Internal Medicine resident, is here to discuss his latest paper in the Mayo Clinic proceedings entitled, Interpreting the Effectiveness of Cancer Screening from National Population Statistics.

Is it sound practice?

And Dr. Chapa is going to do such a spectacular job of

taking you through this paper. You absolutely will not want to miss this. Next, I'm here in the

studio with Emerson Chen, who's a GI oncologist, and he's going to take me to task for some of my

comments on the polo trial. But I'm going to double down, and I'm going to raise him one as I outline what the correct

randomized control trial would have been for a lap rib.

You won't want to miss this discussion.

Stay tuned.

But first, a plug.

If you like this episode and you like this podcast, I need you to do three things.

One, go to patreon.com and back this podcast. Backing an artist you support on patreon.com is a great way

to keep something going. Next, go to the iTunes store and don't just give us five stars. Write a review.

Tell us what you like about the podcast and what you don't like.

A written review goes a long way. Third, recommend plenary session to a friend. If you have a

friend, a colleague, someone you think is going to like this podcast, give them a recommendation.

We can use it on plenary session. Now, what can plenary session do for you? Well, we can answer your questions.
