Guest: Angela Manzitto, PA (Physician Assistant)

Angela Manzitto, PA, has over 20 years of experience in health care. After

many years in family practice, she became passionate about preventive medicine. She

grew frustrated with the traditional Western model that focuses on treating symptoms with

medications rather than addressing the root cause of illness. She believes true health begins

with what we put into our bodies, and that healing requires a multifaceted approach—one

that incorporates diet, exercise, mindset, and the powerful principles of the law of

attraction. Her mission is to empower people to live vibrant, healthy lives, free from disease, and to

experience every day to the fullest. She believes everyone deserves to feel good, thrive, and

enjoy a long life of great quality.

Episode 8: Precision, Compassion, and the Fight Against Cancer"

Guest: Dr. John Cuaron

"Dr. Cuaron is a radiation oncologist who cares for people with gastrointestinal, breast, brain, and spine tumors. I see patients at Memorial Sloan Kettering
Commack on Long Island. I also serve as the radiation oncology Lead Service
Chief of the regional network. In this role I have the privilege of overseeing regional network operations and working to ensure that our patients receive the highest quality of care at every MSK location. Treating cancer is a team effort — I never work in a vacuum. I partner with my colleagues in medical and surgical oncology, radiology, and pathology to make a diagnosis and develop a personalized treatment plan for each patient. Most patients are curious about who is on their care team, how we work together, and what our treatment strategy will be. During initial consultations and subsequent visits, I work to make sure that my patients are well informed of all these aspects of their care. It is very empowering for people to see the blueprint and be a part of the team. Patients also want to know about radiation therapy — what it is, how it works, and what it will feel like. The radiation we use to treat cancer is very different and much safer than what people may have seen or heard about in popular culture. A large part of my initial consultation with patients outlines the specifics of radiation therapy and allows them to become familiar with treatment and side effects so they know what to expect before treatment starts. 

Like many families, mine has been impacted by cancer. My personal
experiences lead me to understand that doctor-patient relationships are
critical to providing great care for people. To that end, I hope my
patients feel informed and confident about their care. I also hope they
feel they have a guide they can turn to during a time that can be
confusing, frustrating, and frightening."
