    Listen to ASCO’s Journal of Clinical Oncology Art of Oncology article, "Tamales” by Megan Dupuis, an Assistant Professor of Hematology and Oncology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. The article is followed by an interview with Dupuis and host Dr. Mikkael Sekeres. Dupuis reflects on how patients invite their doctors into their culture and their world- and how this solidified her choice to be an oncologist.

    Narrator: Tamales, by Megan Dupuis, MD, PhDI do not know if you know this, but tamales are an important—nay, critical—part of the MexicanChristmas tradition.

I did not know that the simple tamal, made of masa flour and fillings and steamed in a corn husk, is as essential to the holiday season as music and lights.

    My patients — and my family and friends — often ask me what they can do to reduce their risk of cancer. I’m an oncologist and a cancer epidemiologist, which means I investigate patterns and causes of cancers. As more Americans drink less, one question that has come up is whether casual drinking, or drinking alcohol infrequently, increases cancer risk. The answer is “probably,” though at a very low level. Cancer risk is not binary: Having one drink, or smoking one cigarette, will not cause cancer.
