About this listen
Andhow do we build the infrastructure for safe, legal, affordable accessto psychedelic medicines for people living with cancer?
Inthis episode, we speak with Dr. Linda Carlson, professor ofpsychosocial oncology and co-principal investigator of the CanadianNetwork for Psychedelic-Assisted Cancer Therapy (CAN-PACT), Canada's$5 million initiative building research infrastructure forpsychedelic-assisted cancer therapy. Linda explores what hersystematic review of research actually shows: promising signals butalso knowledge gaps. We discuss why healthcare providers seepotential but identify concerns about psychedelic medicines, and why"demoralization syndrome" may better capture cancer'spsychological impact than depression or anxiety.
Lindadescribes CAN-PACT's approach: building networks with patients asfull partners, identifying top research priorities through consensus,and training therapists in public cancer centers for equitableaccess.
