Episode 58
Today we shine a spotlight on a fascinating area of focus within endocrinology that maybe you haven’t heard much about: oncoendocrinology. What is it, and how are health providers working together to care for patients who have endocrine conditions and cancer? Host Aaron Lohr talks with Afreen I. Shariff, MD, an endocrinologist at Duke University School of Medicine with expertise in endocrine disease in cancer patients. Dr. Shariff is the founding director of the Duke Endocrine-Oncology Program and an associate director for the Cancer Treatment Toxicity Program at the Duke Center for Cancer Immunotherapy. She also chairs the oncoendocrinology special interest group with the Endocrine Society, and she is a host of the podcast Checkpoint NOW.
