Last week Josh and Michael discussed early ovarian cancer, but as is always the case many patients either do not respond completely to treatment of their early disease or present with advanced disease and thus are robbed of that chance. In these patients, getting the treatment right is a complex discussion but a vital one. In this episode, we discuss two studies in the advanced ovarian cancer space, a space that could still use more love, but has seen developments in recent years.

Our Back to Basics odyssey nears its end, a journey just as epic as Matt Damon's (we think so, anyway). As we enter the final stretch, we discuss ovarian cancer, a cancer with significant mortality and morbidity despite advances in treatment. In this episode Josh and Michael discuss two studies in the early ovarian cancer space, a topic fraught with challenges as unique as Scylla and Charybdis.

On this episode, Josh and Michael examine the treatment of advanced melanoma, the condition that blazed the trail for immunotherapy to change the face of cancer treatment. However, immunotherapy is not the ONLY treatment for melanoma, as a significant proportion of cases also harbour a BRAF mutation. So, if you have someone with such an example, what do you do? How would you sequence your treatment? This question, and a reflection on the incredible beginnings of immunotherapy is coming to you on today's episode.
