Colorectal Cancer | Diagnosed June 4, 2012
In my 20 years of experience, I have never seen before such a fast pace of research progress!
Tom’s Story
I have “currently incurable” Stage IV colon cancer. I am also PhD scientist in oncology drug discovery. Two of my current life missions: spread the word on the amazing advances seen in immunotherapies and eventually be cured by one!
Dr. Tom Marsilje is a dad, husband, and music lover living with stage 4 colorectal cancer. He’s also a scientist who’s spent the last 20 years in cancer research. Tom writes a monthly column for Fight Colorectal Cancer called “The Currently Incurable Scientist.” He is being treated with a combination of chemotherapies known as FOLFIRI, and the monoclonal antibody Avastin® (bevacizumab).
Sadly, Tom Marsilje passed away in November 2017.
