Immunotherapy 2.0

The story of cancer therapy is in two parts. Therapcies were brutal instruments - surgery and poisons - until two decades ago. The second part - the dividing line - was the invention of immunotherapy. Discovering how cancer cells are organized and function at a molecular level, a few scientists, their ideas dismissed as folly, demonstrated that the immune system could be harnessed to kill cancer cells. Many cancers were no longre a death sentence.

The drugs we select at CFF represent the next evolution of immunotherapy. These first-in-class therapies travel down different biological pathways to chase and kill cancer cells, The drugs, for insstance, block multiple immune checkpoints, target overexpressed proteins on malignant tissues, and strik cancer cells when they leave an opening while repairing their DNA.
