In this episode of Cancer Has No Borders, host Zach Randles-Friedman sits down with Lynn Godfrey, Chief Constituent Experience Officer at Blood Cancer United (formerly the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society). Lynn shares why the 76-year-old organization rebranded, how it’s supporting patients with more than 100 types of blood cancers, and the ambitious goal of extending 1 million years of life for patients.

From investing $1.8 billion in research and pioneering breakthroughs like CAR-T therapy, to offering one-on-one patient and caregiver support, Lynn explains how Blood Cancer United is driving global innovation, awareness, and advocacy. You’ll also hear inspiring stories of resilience, the critical role of clinical trials, and why this rebrand is about making support more inclusive, accessible, and impactful than ever.

In this episode of Cancer Has No Borders, we delve into the stark disparities in cancer care across the European continent—where mortality rates in parts of Eastern Europe are nearly 50% higher than in the West. What’s driving this gap, and more importantly, how can it be closed?

Joining us are Caroline Berchet from the OECD and Sebastian Bojkow, Head of Market Access for Sub-region Europe at BeOne. Together, we explore the transformative role of prevention, the promise of policy reform initiatives like the Joint Clinical Assessment (JCA), and the impact of innovation and local partnerships in improving patient outcomes.
