In this deeply personal episode oncologist and author Dr. Chadi Nabhan joins Rome for a conversation that bridges cutting-edge science with timeless human connection. Dr. Nabhan shares the pivotal moment that defined his career—a dying patient’s simple request: “Just promise you’ll come back tomorrow and smile.” This encounter revealed medicine’s profound truth: while genetics and AI are revolutionizing cancer treatment (like his work accelerating clinical trials through AI at Right), healing begins with empathy.
Dr. Nabhan breaks down complex topics—from genomic tumor testing (reading a cancer’s blueprint) to overcoming healthcare distrust with patient stories from his book The Cancer Journey. He offers practical wisdom, urging listeners to ask doctors three key questions about their cancer’s origins and targeted treatments, while emphasizing: “No question is stupid.” For anyone navigating cancer (patients, caregivers, or providers), this episode is a powerful reminder that precision medicine’s future lies not just in DNA, but in the dignity of human connection.
