Episode notes
Jim Allison's groundbreaking work led to the discovery of T cell receptors and how the immune system interacts with cancer cells. By blocking receptors used by cancer to evade the immune system, Allison developed a drug that revolutionized cancer treatment. Subsequent advancements have enabled the customization of immune responses to target specific cancer cells, although effectiveness varies across different types of cancer. Ongoing efforts focus on optimizing treatments to benefit a larger proportion of patients, which involves developing next-generation cell therapies and modifying the tumor microenvironment. Additionally, the integration of digital health technologies plays a key role in remote care delivery and data-driven decision-making.
