The podcast series Déjouer la maladie : mon doc et moi – sharing how health research changes lives every day at the CHUM
In the five-part podcast series Déjouer la maladie : mon doc et moi (in French only), veteran radio host Paul Arcand shines a spotlight on the importance of health research, and especially how it is changing lives.
From cancer to women’s heart health to mental health, hear the moving stories of patients who were at an impasse with their existing treatment options, until they were given new hope because of medical innovations, funded in part by donors like you.
Get an inside look at the research being conducted at the CHUM and its research centre through interviews with internationally recognized researchers and doctors.
Episode 01 | Cancer
Hearing the word “cancer” can turn your world upside down. In this first episode, Paul Arcand speaks with Lise Roy and Lynda Piché, who share their journeys with the disease. Plus, Dr. Antoine Désilets from the CHUM explains how tumour sequencing is helping save lives in a very real way, as this medical breakthrough allows cancer to be targeted with precision so that doctors can pinpoint the best treatment for each patient.
