In this episode, Adrian Pogacian, a licensed clinical psychologist, psycho-oncology specialist, and founder of the INCKA Psycho-oncology Center — shares his perspective on the emotional and relational dimensions of cancer care.

We explore his journey into psycho-oncology, the role of trust, human touch, and communication, and how families can navigate a cancer diagnosis together. Adrian also discusses post-traumatic growth, cultural barriers, and why multidisciplinary collaboration is essential for healing.
