Biggest breakthroughs in past several years in oncology:
1. Immunotherapy: harnessing the body’s own immune system to recognize and eliminate cancer cells. A game changer for several cancers; less advantageous for others.
2. Cellular therapy: not the game changer we hoped it could be, but the science provides a wonderful platform to build upon. Can we genetically alter one’s own immune cells, propagate them, and deliver them back to the patient to attack cancer?
3. Supportive care: in the cases of many cancer subtypes, the chemotherapy used hasn’t changed in decades, but the medications administered with chemotherapy to counteract the side effects of chemo have helped to improve survival by enabling us to administer full doses and full courses of chemotherapy.
