Israeli Breakthrough Thwarts Resistance to Cancer Treatments

Professor Yuval Shaked, head of the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology Integrated Cancer Center, recently published groundbreaking discoveries related to cancer therapy resistance in Nature Reviews Cancer.

“Current modern immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer care. However, despite considerable advances in cancer treatment, most patients do not respond to therapy at all or from a particular stage,” Shaked explained. “Without the ability to predict the effectiveness of treatment, many suffer from disease recurrence or spread, which sometimes erupts with even greater violence. Over the years, many have investigated and are still investigating the effect of therapy on the tumor itself, but few have analyzed the effect of the therapy on the patient.”
