Immunotherapy drugs that marshal the body’s immune system to fight cancer. Genomic analyses that examine cancer at the cellular level, allowing for precise treatments personalized to each patient. These and other breakthroughs have been made possible because of one little-understood, yet fundamental aspect of cancer care: the clinical trial. How do clinical trials work? What progress have they made? Why do so few patients enroll in them? And what is the future of cancer research in the age of COVID-19? Pat Basu, MD, MBA, President & CEO of Cancer Treatment Centers of America® (CTCA), and his guest, Arturo Loaiza-Bonilla, MD, MSEd, FACP, Medical Director of the Clinical Research Program at CTCA, answer those questions on this week’s Focus on Cancer podcast.
