  • Summary

  • In this episode of On the Edge of Breakthrough: Voices of Cancer Research, Dr. Monty Pal talks with Mustafa Raoof, a leading surgical oncologist and physician-scientist at City of Hope, about the challenges and potential in treating some of the toughest cancers.

    Dr. Raoof reflects on his path - from boarding school in Pakistan to pioneering new techniques in peritoneal metastasis treatment at a world renowned cancer center, including the promising intraperitoneal therapy known as Pressurized Intraperitoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy (PIPAC). He breaks down his lab's latest work on DNA repair in pancreatic cancer, shares his perspectives on the value of making research more accessible across low-resource settings, and discusses how he balances life as a researcher, surgeon, and his most important role as a dad.

    This is a grounded, thoughtful conversation that spotlights how innovation meets real-world limitations, and why collaboration —not just within institutions, but across borders — is more essential than ever.
