Business of oncology
The fundamentals of
how to treat a cancer patient are rapidly changing. In fact, one
presenter stated, "by the year 2020 medical knowledge will
double every two months!" Currently, immunotherapy treatments,
which utilize complex precision medicine techniques, are becoming
extremely popular and seemingly more effective at treating cancer.
Dr.
Patrick Soon-Shiong, a physician, surgeon, scientist and founder
of NantHealth,
spoke about the Cancer Moonshot 2020 program. This program ultimately
aims to eliminate cancers with either a simple blood transfusion or
three subcutaneous shots given in an outpatient setting that utilizes
his novel Genomic Proteomic Sequencing test, which generates a
person's entire molecular profile.
