Welcome to OncLive On Air^®! I'm your host today, Ashling Wahner.

OncLive On Air is a podcast from OncLive^®, which provides oncology professionals with the resources and information they need to provide the best patient care. In both digital and print formats, OncLive covers every angle of oncology practice, from new technology to treatment advances to important regulatory decisions.

In today’s episode, we sat down with Kelly E. McCann, MD, PhD, and Sara Nunnery, MD, MSCI, as they shared their stories and perspectives as leading women in oncology in honor of International Women's Day, which is observed annually on March 8. Dr McCann is a breast medical oncologist in the University of California system. Dr Nunnery is a breast medical oncologist with Tennessee Oncology in Nashville.

Forming the backdrop of our exclusive discussion were insights shared during the 2026 OncLive Women in Oncology event, which took place on March 5, 2026, to kick off the 43rd Annual Miami Breast Cancer Conference. In our exclusive interview, Drs McCann and Nunnery used the Women in Oncology discussion as the basis for relaying their own experiences, observations, and advice regarding setting boundaries, striving for work-life harmony, advocating for oneself, and more.
