Why doesn't our immune system recognize and fight cancer like it does other illnesses, like the cold? The answer to this decades-old medical mystery has to do with the 'tricks' cancer uses to short-circuit defenses. The body's natural tricks that scientists have recently discovered and are now learning to combat. We are in the midst of a revolution in our understanding of cancer and how to finally beat it. Innovative, fascinating and told by experts, Immunotherapy and the race to Cure Cancer is the story of world-changing, Nobel Prize-winning scientific discoveries that unleash our natural ability to recognize and fight cancer, told through the experiences of front-line immunotherapy patients, clinicians and researchers. This is the incredible story of the race to find a cure, and the definitive account of a penicillin moment. A historical moment in medical science.
