The Oncology Podcast, brought to you by Oncology News Australia, is proud to present Episode 9 in our series The Oncology Journal Club.

The C Word: COVID-19 Special Edition with Professor Raina MacIntyre 

As regular listeners will know, our hosts Eva Segelov, Craig Underhill and Hans Prenen have resisted an episode on COVID-19 because like the rest of Australia, they hoped we had escaped the worse of the pandemic. However in the last couple of weeks the situation has become much more difficult in Victoria, and dire in some places, particularly in nursing homes. We felt it was time for a special episode to bring you up to date with the latest literature on COVID-19 and cancer.

Our format is a little different this week as Professor Eva Segelov gets us started with a very special interview with Professor Raina MacIntyre, one of the world leading authorities on pandemics who shares some important insights on COVID-19. Raina and Eva's discussion is wide-ranging, covering healthcare worker infections, vaccines, mask wearing, 'Super-Spreaders' and much more.

Full bios and the list of all papers discussed are available on our website.
