For 70 years we have been taking prostate glands out of men in an attempt to “cure” prostate cancer. For about the same length of time we have been sticking needles in prostate glands in a scavenger hunt looking for cancer cells. These approaches seem logical and have become the standard of care. But there is a problem, the current approach to diagnosing and treating prostate cancer has not been demonstrated to actually cure cancer, or even help men live longer. On the other hand biopsies, surgery and radiation cause harm. How did we get stuck in this place, and is there anything we can do about it?

August 1 is #WorldLungCancerDay. The American Cancer Society predicts that there will be more than 100,000 deaths from #LungCancer this year. When lung cancer is found at an earlier stage before it spreads, it’s more likely to be treated successfully. That’s why it’s so important that more individuals get screened – even if they may not be experiencing symptoms. At On Target, we’re committed to helping patients and doctors fight this disease. Our targeted intraoperative molecular imaging agent helps surgeons visualize early-stage lung cancer, remove more cancer during surgery, and contributes to a world with better #LungHealth. #WLCD24 To learn more about our intraoperative molecular imaging agent and risk related information, please visit https://bit.ly/3yr0tVN

Metastatic cancer is responsible for the majority of cancer-related deaths since surgery and subsequent radio- or chemotherapy often fail to remove all cancer cells. In addition, metastases frequently develop immunosuppressive resistance mechanisms protecting them from immunotherapy that work well in primary tumors. Researchers at Technische Universität München developed cells to be used in NK-or T-cell based therapies that overcome the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and thus retain their full cytotoxic activity.

Multidisciplinary Treatment Approach for Rectal Cancer – Discussion with Drs. Deb Schrag & Krishan Jethwa The discussion revolves around the findings of the Prospect study, which explored the possibility of avoiding radiation in select rectal cancer patients to minimize long-term side effects. The study showed that outcomes were comparable between traditional treatment methods and the selective approach, with a quality-of-life advantage for the latter. The hosts and guests also touch upon the evolving paradigm of radiation therapy, the importance of MSI high status testing, and the considerations for omitting surgery in certain cases. They emphasize the need for a multidisciplinary approach and tailoring treatment based on individual patient characteristics. Overall, the episode highlights the significance of personalized treatment strategies in managing locally advanced rectal cancer and the importance of staying abreast of the latest research and advancements in the field.

In the latest episode of my podcast, “The Immuno-Oncology Curve,” I'm joined by my Agenus colleagues Dr. Joseph Grossman and Dr. Benny Johnson. We talk about why we left the practice of medicine for Agenus. And, we reflect on this year’s #ASCO GI Cancers Symposium, covering the rise of early-onset cancers, the promising use of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) as a biomarker, the ongoing challenge of diversity in cancer clinical trials, and the overall potential of I-O to reduce dependence on chemotherapy and surgery.
