For the first time in history, physicians can responsibly use the C word when talking about Cancer: cure.
In this engaging and exciting presentation, the New York Times bestselling author of "The Breakthrough" gives us the surprising story of how our basic misunderstanding of the immune system led to a century of misdirection on how to think about cancer and the recent scientific breakthrough that changed everything.
We will address questions such as:
For over 100 years, physicians believed that cancer was unlike all other diseases, an "emperor of all maladies" that could only be attacked through "cut poison burn" approaches that aimed to kill the disease without killing the patient in the process. Now, recent discoveries have given us fascinating new insights on the complex system of spies and garbagemen, signalers and helpers, flag bearers and killers that make up our natural immune systems, and finally allowed us to help that natural defense system to recognize, attack and kill cancer cells, the way it does other diseases. We've discovered the tricks cancer uses to evade or shut down our immune armies and a means to block these tricks and "secret handshakes," which has transformed science and changed the direction of researchers and the outcomes of millions of cancer patients. From 19th-century unexplained anecdotes about spontaneous cures to Nobel prize-winning surprise discoveries, we'll explore how the bumpy past history of immunotherapy research is now yielding a new scientific understanding of both disease and ourselves and reshaping the future of treatment. Join us for an all-access ride through this pivotal moment in medical history.
