Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong spoke today at the Future of Genomic Medicine, Scripps’ annual conference in San Diego. The obvious focus of his presentation was the Cancer Moonshot 2020 – the U.S. government-sanctioned effort to speed up the development of cures for cancer through immunotherapy.
As Soon-Shiong put it, oncologists must learn to be immunologists because as things are currently, we have “lost the war on cancer.”
