Drawing on 35 years of experience in the biotechnology industry developing innovative cancer medicines, Dr. Drew N. Kelner (Ph.D. in Biochemistry from Duke University) provides an insider’s view of how the astonishing new immunotherapies that are changing the lives of cancer patients came about, how they work, and how these powerful new drugs are changing the paradigm of cancer medicine from the toxic and destructive triad of “cut, burn, and poison—surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy—to the use of "living drugs" made from engineered cells, modified viruses, and other molecular marvels that target the root causes of cancer and stimulate human immunity. In Taming Cancer, Dr. Kelner sends a message of hope to cancer patients and their families the world over by presenting a lucid vision of a time when a diagnosis of metastatic cancer is no longer by default a harbinger of impending suffering and death. Written for readers interested in developing a conceptual understanding of cancer and what can be done to confront it, the book also contains extensive endnotes for those who wish to delve deeper into the science. Taming Cancer provides the information needed to understand the changing landscape of cancer medicine and how immunotherapy and other targeted treatments are optimizing cancer care.
