What’s it like to be at once a journalist and a cancer patient?

What should you watch for at this year’s biggest cancer conference? Why are people having 23andMe-induced identity crises?

We discuss all that and more on the latest episode of “The Readout LOUD,” STAT’s biotech podcast. First, Jill O’Donnell-Tormey, CEO of the Cancer Research Institute, joins us to talk about the emerging science she’ll be monitoring at the annual gathering of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, or ASCO. Next, we’ll talk about the story of a man who believed he was entirely Korean until his ancestry testing results told him that he was half Japanese — only to later say he was entirely Korean again. Then, Alexandra Glorioso, a reporter for Politico, calls in to tell us about what it’s like to cover health care while undergoing treatment for breast cancer.
