She also discusses an important challenge: some people who develop lung cancer may not fit the profile current screening programs are built to catch. Joseph Mikhael, M.D., Professor in Clinical Genomics and Therapeutics Division at TGen, explores how quickly treatment is evolving in multiple myeloma. He shares why newer immune-based therapies are generating excitement and how simpler approaches now in development could make advanced treatment more accessible.
