Despite great advances in biological understanding of cancer, progress in treating advanced disease is mostly a flatline. Yes, some immune and targeted therapies work but too little too late. A new model of carcinogenesis is long overdue: 3quarksdaily.com/3quarksdaily/2…

Cancer sucks Combating some cancers using #CRISPR based CAR-T and NK therapies is very exciting… but isn’t a direct cure for them I suspect diagnostics is going to be the ultimate winner for defeating cancer (prevention), as clinicians like Azra Raza have voiced. 1/2

Improvement in survival of cancer patients by weeks is regularly declared as a “Game Changer”. No one is winning the war on cancer. It is mostly hype, the same rhetoric from the same self important voices for the past half a century. It is an EMBARRASSMENT. We need to face this.

In recognition of #NationalCancerSurvivorsDay, hear from Dr. Melissa Beauchemin and Barbara Trencher, Columbia Cancer patient advocate, about how they view survivorship and some of the needs of survivors clinicians need to address.
