A cancer specialist who has treated nearly 200 patients argues that oncology should shift from managing disease to fighting to win. Modern precision medicine can use over a thousand data points per patient, matching the accuracy aerospace achieves with rockets, instead of the few dozen conventional treatment relies on.
This is from patients we treated over about almost 200 patients were in this group. So you need to know this because when you're talking about cancer treatment you don't want to just manage the disease but you want to fight to win. And precision makes all the difference. Look, we know today we've got amazing technology. We can launch rockets into space. We can land them on a pinpoint precision right back on the pad using thousands of data points. But when it comes to technology today and oncology, we're just far behind. We're not using all the latest technology but that's where precision makes the difference. If we can land a rocket right on a pinpoint we should be able to land cancer treatment in the same way conventional cancer care relies on maybe a couple dozen data points and that's the difference. We're using over a thousand data points to get precision and it's going to make a big difference when we're trying to treat people.
