Welcome to Plenary Session.

I'm your host, Dr. Vinay Prasad.

I'm a practicing hematologist, oncologist, and I'm associate professor of medicine.

I'm interested in issues at the intersection of medicine, oncology, and health policy, and that's what you're going to get on this podcast.

Welcome to Season 2.

This week on Plenary Session, you're in for a real treat.

We have Dr. H. Gilbert Welsh, giving a lecture on cancer screening.

You won't want to miss this lecture.

This is a lecture he gave as Grand Rounds, and it is spectacular.

It goes through all of the classical fallacies of cancer screening

with some new material to boot that you won't want to miss.

A student came to me afterwards and said,

that lecture was the best, and I said,

You mean you liked it?

And he said, no, I mean it was, in fact, the best lecture I've been to.

So, on that positive note, stick around for this bonus episode, a lecture on cancer

screening by Gilbert Welsh.

But first, a thanks.
