23 June 2021: Combinations of therapy to substantially reduce cancer deaths

This essay introduces our strategy of using combinations of therapies directed at all aspects of the malignant process, appropriate for each cancer type, to substantially reduce cancer related deaths. This strategy is based on the understanding that cancer is the result of intersecting webs of biological activity for the cancer cells, their microenvironment and systemic networks affecting the cancer. Effective treatment must damage the end result of these webs sufficiently so that their overall malignant properties cannot continue. This typically cannot be achieved by a single drug.

11 June 2021: What will success look like in the war on cancer?

 

What will success look like in the war on cancer? When we begin with the end in mind, it

helps us focus on what we want to achieve, understand better how this success can be

attained and create processes to do so. The goal of our strategic plan is to reduce US

cancer deaths from the present 600,000 per year to 100,000 per year by 2030. But how will

this happen?

1 June 2021: The importance of systemic networks in cancer treatment

 

Cancer is a systemic disease. This means it is important to treat not just the obvious tumor

mass but also the systemic cellular networks that nurture the tumor. Surprisingly, most

cancer treatment plans ignore the systemic networks.

 

Targeting systemic tumor networks will be difficult, requiring combinations of combinations of

therapy. We will need different therapeutic strategies for the primary tumor and many of the

systemic networks. Each type of therapy may need to consist of combinations of treatments

to block a sufficient number of steps in the web-like pathways that exist for each cellular

function.

 

This subject was discussed in the abstract below, which was not accepted at a recent

conference. Although disappointing, the advantage of this rejection is that I can publish it

now without any copyright restrictions. The full paper is at
