The Breakthrough: Immunotherapy and the Race to Cure Cancer 1st Edition by Charles Graeber
Requirements: .ePUB Reader
Overview: For thousands of years, physicians observed cases of "spontaneous remissions" from cancer. These sudden and dramatic cancer cures were chalked up to magic or miracle. In fact it was the immune system, mysteriously unleashed.
Now scientists have learned to recreate that miracle with medicines so new that cancer patients- and even many doctors- don't realize they exist.
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Good Nurse comes an empowering and accessible story of the discoveries of the tricks cancer uses to avoid the immune system, and the important new cancer immunotherapies already unleashing the immune system to fight -- and beat -- the disease.
Four years in the writing, THE BREAKTHROUGH is an "exciting read" about the discoveries which received the 2018 Nobel Prize winning discoveries in October, and a dramatic and exciting turning point in our relationship with a disease that has for too long defined us.
