Summary

This week we begin with a critique of the recent perspective article in the New England Journal of Medicine, titled "Talking about Toxicity — 'What We’ve Got Here Is a Failure to Communicate'". After that we interview Dr. Eitan Amir on his paper on undisclosed conflicts of interest among authors of ASCO guidelines. Interspersed between segments of the interview, we invite guest Dr. Sven Olson on to offer a correction to a recent Hem/Onc boards question of the week on Lynch Syndrome (original question posed in episode 2.11) and we invite Ian Straehley on for a question of the week inspired by the USMLE Step 2 CK.
