Redefining Cancer Treatment: Sean Pitroda, MD

How do we rethink the future of cancer care? In this episode of Smarter Systems, Better Care, we sit down with Dr. Sean Pitroda, a leading physician-scientist whose groundbreaking work is transforming how metastatic cancer is understood and treated.

Dr. Pitroda’s research challenges the entrenched belief that metastatic disease is always incurable. Instead, his team integrates molecular profiling, bioinformatics, immunologic assays, and advanced tumor modeling to uncover why some patients with oligometastatic cancer respond to surgery or ablative radiotherapy — while others do not.

In this conversation, you’ll learn:

➡Why the “one-size-fits-all” approach to metastatic cancer treatment no longer holds true

➡How ablative radiotherapy and immune checkpoint blockade interact in the metastatic setting

➡The future of personalized oncology, precision medicine, and translational research

➡What it means to redefine curability for patients with metastatic disease

If you’re a healthcare leader, clinician, or innovator seeking fresh insights into next-generation cancer treatment strategies, this episode is for you.
