How much progress have we made against cancer?
from The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio · host Audacy
We’ve heard a ton about medical advancements that happened really quickly in response to COVID - meanwhile, scientists and doctors have been working on a cure and treatments for cancer for decades. Where does that research stand today? Are we any closer to finding a cure…or is that the wrong thing to look at? Dr. Jonathan Chernoff, Cancer Center Director at the Fox Chase Cancer Center, talks us through the progress that we have made, and why it might be slower than we’d like. He also explains what’s on the horizon and how new technologies, like mRNA, could help.
