"My experience tells me that the best way to tackle the challenges keeping us from curing all cancers in all patients using immunotherapy is through team science," says @andyjminn, the inaugural chair of MSK's Immuno-Oncology Program and co-director of the Marie-Josee Kravis Center for Cancer Immunobiology.
"I believe that through this process, we will deliver the hope for meaningful and durable responses to immunotherapy for many more patients — the type of responses the immune system is meant to provide. And I can think of no better place than MSK to do this work of further unlocking immunotherapy’s potential."

.@PedramRazaviMD, a physician-scientist at MSK, explains MSK's efforts to prevent drug resistance from developing in #breastcancer patients.
“In the past, we’ve always been reactive — we give a treatment, the cancer adapts to survive, and then we give a drug that blocks that path of resistance,” says Dr. Razavi. “But the next line of therapy generally does not work as well as the first. Now we are trying to develop ways to predict the behavior of cancer and stay ahead of it.”
A new study seeks to anticipate the malignant cells' next move, like playing poker with cancer and being able to see most of its cards.
