##Immunotherapy_and_cancer

@slymeat thanks for the video, I was so intrigued I bought the The Cancer Code book and devoured it over the weekend. It was well researched and fascinating, and medical jargon translated into layman English.

In sum:

  • Immunotherapy may be the gamechanger for cancer treatment - ie boosting the immune system to kill out metastic cancer cells
  • Cancer drugs and treatment have not changed much over the decades
  • Cancer drug industry is prone to 'copycats' that use a winning formula and tweaks them, to be considered a 'new drug'
  • FDA classification of efficacy has historically not focused on survival rates, but rather shrinking tumour sizes which may or may not be beneficial depending on the cancer.
  • There have been historical FDA mishaps which have approved cancer drugs but have actually yielded no beneficial treatment.
  • There's harmful cancer, and non harmful cancer
  • Cancer is old as time
