Professor Sanjay Popat is a medical oncologist and thoracic oncology professor whose life was shaped by a career spent advancing lung cancer and mesothelioma treatment through research, clinical trials, and patient-centred care.

In this episode of Breathe Strong, Professor Popat answers patient-led questions on early-stage and stage four EGFR lung cancer, treatment decisions around Osimertinib, trials, vaccines, menopause and HRT, mesothelioma immunotherapy, genetic testing, and the promising therapies now emerging on the horizon.

Sanjay leaves listeners with a sense that while these diseases remain complex and difficult, real progress is happening through science, better understanding, and the willingness of patients and clinicians to keep pushing treatment forward together.
