“Ricky Frazer, Consultant Medical Oncologist at Velindre Cancer Centre, Deputy CEO of the Immuno-Oncology Clinical Network, Co-Founder of The Immunobuddies Podcast, and Honorary Lecturer at Cardiff University, shared a post by OncoDaily, on LinkedIn, adding:
“Delighted (and slightly surreal!) to be featured in the latest OnCoffee x CancerWorld episode – huge thanks to Vahe Grigoryan OncoDaily for such an engaging and thought-provoking conversation.
We got into the realities of modern oncology – not just the excitement of immunotherapy, but the complexity that comes with it: toxicity, acute oncology, decision-making under pressure, and what patient-centred care actually looks like.
We also touched on something I care deeply about – how our own experiences shape us as clinicians, and why communication, honesty, and a bit of vulnerability matter just as much as any guideline.
Reflecting on it, absolutely none of this is ever a solo effort. I’m incredibly fortunate to work alongside and learn from some brilliant indivuduals teams and communities:
• The Immunobuddies Podcast – growing a global, practical, no-nonsense community around immunotherapy
• Immuno-Oncology Clinical Network -Oncology Clinical Network (IOCN) – driving collaboration and shared learning across borders
• Velindre Cancer Service – where innovation meets real-world compassionate care every single day
• Cardiff University / Prifysgol Caerdydd – leading amazing research and helping shape the next generation of oncology leaders
I’d also like to shine a light on two incredible charities making a real difference for patients, helping to ensure people in Wales can access the latest advances in immunotherapy and beyond.
Moondance Cancer Initiative
Craig Maxwell OBE Family Genomics Fund
If you’re interested in where cancer care and immunotherapy is heading – and how we make it work in practice, not just on paper – I’d love you to take a listen.”
