Episode Synopsis



Guest: Ihtisham Ahmad

To explore whether these effects translate to human populations, a recent study examined a potential link between cannabis use and the development of prostate cancer. Hear from Ihtisham Ahmad, a fourth-year medical student at the University of Toronto, as he explains the methodology and findings from his research, which he presented at the American Urological Association 2025 Annual Meeting.
