Episode #95: A Playbook for Responding to Esophageal Cancer Risk | Lisa Mathew | Vivek Kaul | University of Rochester
Tuesday, 18 August, 2026
Dr. Lisa Mathew interviews Dr. Vivek Kaul, professor of medicine in the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at the University of Rochester Medical Center, about the arrival of a new technology and its endorsement in society guidelines, and how clinical practice models help physicians decide whether to adopt something new before the guidelines arrive. Kaul served as project coordinator for the clinical practice model for TissueCypher, a test that predicts a patient's risk of progression from Barrett's esophagus to esophageal cancer. Gastroenterologists from academic centers, health systems, and private practice considered current risk stratification in Barrett's and developed a playbook for the practical questions that come with adopting a new test like TissueCypher, such as which patients are appropriate candidates, how to raise the option, and what a result means for the next steps in care. Join Dr. Mathew and Dr. Kaul as they examine how societies produce guidelines and why the process takes time, which practice settings are represented in a clinical practice model, and how a physician in private practice can decide whether the model fits their patients. Produced by Andrew Sousa and Hayden Margolis for Steadfast Collaborative, LLC Mixed and mastered by Hayden Margolis Gastro Broadcast, episode 95, presented by TissueCypher from Castle Biosciences
