Summary

We start this week's episode by critically examining the new paper titled "Racial/Ethnic Variation in Nasal Gene Expression of Transmembrane Serine Protease 2 (TMPRSS2)" and asking, is it racist? After that, we discuss advances in prostate cancer imaging with two imaging specialists from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Drs. Anton Becker and Sungmin Woo. Finally, we have a far-reaching interview with Dr. Thomas Newman of University of California San Francisco on clinical epidemiology and his new book Evidence-Based Diagnosis: An Introduction to Clinical Epidemiology.

0:00.0	Welcome. I'm Dr. Vinay Prasad. I'm a hematologist, oncologist, and I'm associate professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. In my professional life, I see patients, I teach trainees, and I do research in health care policy. This is plenary session.
0:23.2	Plenary session is a podcast at the intersection of medicine, oncology, and health policy,
0:27.6	and you're listening to Season 3. On this week's episode, we've got three guests. First up,
0:35.0	we've got the duo Dr. Becker and Dr. Wu.
0:38.0	These are two imaging specialists in Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center,
0:41.3	and they're going to be talking about some advances in prostate cancer imaging.
0:45.1	Is every bit of new imaging good imaging?
0:47.9	We're going to talk about that.
0:49.5	Next up, we've got Dr. Tom Newman.
0:51.2	Dr. Newman is Professor Emeritus at the University of California, San Francisco.
0:55.4	With Michael Cohen, he literally wrote the book called Evidence-Based Diagnosis. We're going to talk
0:59.2	about that. It's now out in the second edition. You won't want to miss this far-ranging
1:03.2	discussion. And first up, this week, we're going to have the monologue on the paper. The paper,
1:08.8	that's the talk of the town, racial and ethnic variation in nasal
1:12.9	gene expression of transmembrane serene protease 2, or TMPR SS2. This is the paper that came
1:20.7	out last week in JAMA, and it's been deemed all sorts of things, particularly racist. The
1:26.1	authors are racist and the piece is racist. This week,
1:28.3	we're going to explore that and two other questions. So, stay tuned. If you like this podcast
