Jerald Radich, MD, of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle, sits down with Saad Usmani, MD, of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, to reflect on progress made in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and the work still ahead to ensure equitable care worldwide.
“The issue with CML is that most of the CML in the world is in developing countries, and they can’t afford a drug, they can’t afford testing,” Dr. Radich said on the podcast.
The pair also discussed current funding cuts. “As a culture and a government, we’ve lost our imagination,” Dr. Radich said, adding that giving up the edge provided by our institutions for basic discovery “is not smart.”
