For the May podcast for The Journal of Community and Supportive Oncology, Dr David Henry highlights original reports on the prognostic significance of HPV status in postoperative squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, the contributions of caregivers in American Indian cancer patients, and the omission of dexamethasone from antiemetics treatment in breast cancer patients with hepatitis B infection or diabetes. He also describes how providers at a comprehensive cancer center devised a framework for implementing survivorship care planning, and, in keeping with the ‘how we do it’ theme, he discusses an article by 2 practicing on oncologists on managing and treating multiple myeloma. The line-up is rounded off with articles on the effects of exercise interventions during different treatments in patients with breast cancer, the approval of trabectedin for some forms of advanced soft tissue sarcoma, and a Case Report on a rare case of hypoglycemia induced by a classical gastro-intestinal stromal tumor.
