E113: Cancer Care Beyond Treatment with Dr. Abida Taher & Dr. Robyn Lesser

The Get Healthy Tampa Bay Podcast

Welcome to the Get Healthy Tampa Bay Podcast!
This week, I’m joined by Dr. Abida Taher, an oncoradiologist and founder of UnCancer, and Dr. Robyn Lesser, a pediatric dentist. Together, they are bridging the gap in cancer care by providing essential support beyond medical treatment.
In this episode, we discuss the challenges cancer patients face outside the clinic, particularly with oral health, nutrition, and comfort during treatment. Dr. Taher and Dr. Lesser share how UnCancer offers practical solutions, from specialized oral care products to thoughtfully designed comfort wear for patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiation. They also explain the critical need for better collaboration between oncologists and dentists and how their mission is improving the overall well-being of cancer patients and survivors.
Tune in to learn how these innovations are making a real difference in the lives of those navigating cancer treatment and recovery!
