Matthew Ko, founder and CEO of DeepScribe, shares the personal experience that inspired him to launch the company after his mother’s breast cancer diagnosis and the realization that clinicians needed a better way to handle the burden of clinical documentation. He discusses how DeepScribe’s ambient AI technology is designed to give physicians more time to focus on their patients and build deeper connections, why clinician acceptance of AI-generated notes is just as important as accuracy, and how the company’s early focus on oncology helped shape its specialty-specific approach. Matt also offers a behind-the-scenes look at how ambient AI has evolved from an automated documentation tool into a broader platform for clinical workflows, with applications spanning pre-visit preparation, documentation, coding, and intelligent insights across the oncology care journey.

Freddy Escorcia, MD, PhD, an expert in radiopharmaceuticals formerly with the NCI and now with RayzeBio, provides a practical introduction to radiopharmaceutical therapy and explains how these treatments compare with other targeted approaches. He discusses his experience developing alpha-particle emitters for hepatocellular carcinoma, the differences between alpha and beta particles, advances in imaging and radiopharmaceutical therapy, and which tissues and cancers may—or may not—be suitable for this approach. Dr. Escorcia also explores therapies that can work without a traditional molecular target, the logistical challenges and toxicities associated with radiopharmaceuticals, and what the near future may hold for this rapidly evolving field.
