The site provides a robust but accessible overview of the science behind cancer immunotherapy, detailed information about cancer immunotherapy clinical trials, and voices from the cancer immunotherapy community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Launched to coincide with the kickoff on June 1 of CRI\u2019s second annual Cancer Immunotherapy Month, the new site includes powerful video and written stories of patients, told in their own words, of their experiences with cancer immunotherapy and how, in some cases, they were not expecting to survive and thanks to these new treatments are now in remission. Like the story of Pam Griffith, diagnosed with stage IV metastatic lung cancer, whose cancer was unresponsive to conventional therapy. In 2013, she enrolled in a clinical trial of an immunotherapy called nivolumab (BMS-936558), and within a month, her tumors melted away. Or the story of Father Dennis Billy, who enrolled in an immunotherapy clinical trial after a second recurrence of his acute lymphocytic leukemia. Using a technology called CAR T cell therapy, Father Billy\u2019s doctors trained his own T cells (a key component of the immune system) to attack his cancer. Today, more than two years since treatment, he continues to be cancer free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Building on the Cancer Research Institute\u2019s more than 60-year commitment to advancing the science and understanding of cancer immunotherapy, the launch of <strong>TheAnswerToCancer.org<\/strong> represents the beginning of a new phase in CRI\u2019s mission to conquer cancer through immunotherapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSix decades of research are now bearing fruit, as immunotherapies for multiple cancers are beginning to provide real benefit to patients,\u201d O\u2019Donnell-Tormey said. \u201cOur organization, so long dedicated to furthering the science behind today\u2019s immunotherapies, is now also devoted to helping cancer patients navigate this new era in cancer treatment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>TheAnswerToCancer.org<\/strong> is supported through a charitable donation from Bristol-Myers Squibb Company.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CRI announces launch of a first-of-its-kind website devoted to cancer immunotherapy, designed specifically for cancer patients and their caregivers, TheAnswerToCancer.org.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5258,"template":"","tags":[101],"resource_cancer_types":[],"resource_patient_age":[],"resource_cancer_stage":[],"resource_treatment_type":[],"resource_treatment_status":[],"class_list":["post-11185","cri_news","type-cri_news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-patient-education"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
