“This is an important and meaningful conversation.
As a cancer survivor, I have experienced firsthand the number of questions, doubts, and emotional challenges that patients and their families face throughout their cancer journey.
Conversations like this remind us how important it is to listen to a patient’s life experience alongside science and treatment.
This is also what inspired me to create Cancer 24×7 Patient navigation guide – To provide practical, patient-centred guidance for people with cancer.
I am especially grateful to Dr. Jay L. RossA licensed clinical psychologist specializing in cancer care in… Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centerp, f Assistant Professor of Psychology In clinical psychiatry in Weill Cornell Medical CollegeFor contributing a chapter to the guide.
His contribution brings an important psychological and emotional perspective to the cancer journey – helping patients, caregivers and clinicians find words for experiences that are often difficult to express.
The guide also brings together voices from around the world. doctor. Adrian Bogasyan from Romania, founder of INCKA Psycho-Oncology Center A licensed clinical psychologist with advanced training in psycho-oncology contributes to this booklet.
in india, Dr SVS Duo, Surgical oncologist and Head of the Department of Surgical Oncology in Max Healthcare He contributes a chapter to the next edition.
To me, this is what patient-centered cancer care should look like – bringing together survivors, oncologists, psychologists and experts from various specialties, while never losing sight of the person behind the diagnosis.
Thank you, Princess Dina Marad and Dr Urvi Shah to create a space where nutrition, survival, compassionate communication and patient empowerment are discussed together.
These conversations are really important for patients and survivors.
Quoted from Princess Dina Marad:
“Can nutrition affect the development of cancer?
What role does the gut microbiome play in immune health?
Can dietary changes improve outcomes for people with cancerous conditions?
Why do scientists call nutrition one of the next frontiers in cancer research?
In this episode of Global Health Dialogues, Princess Dina speaks with Dr. Urvi Shaha hematologist, oncologist, physician scientist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and cancer survivor.
Dr. Shah She shares how her cancer diagnosis changed her perspective as a physician and discusses her pioneering clinical research investigating how high-fiber plant-based nutrition affects inflammation, the microbiome, immune function, and the development of multiple myeloma precursor conditions.
Together they explore lifestyle medicine, evidence-based nutrition, the importance of compassionate communication in cancer care, and why empowering patients with practical tools may become an essential part of cancer prevention in the future.
