“Where do ideas come from? In each episode, scientists Itai Yanai and Martin Lercher explore science’s creative side with a leading colleague.”
The newsletter now has a dedicated homepage (thisweekmathonco.substack.com), which allows us to post cover artwork for each issue. We encourage submissions that coincide with the release of a recent paper from your group.
Caption: In the simplest sense, the ultimate goal of treating cancer is for the patient to remain alive. This is not synonymous with eradicating every tumor cell in the body. Similar to the failure of high-dose synthetic pesticides in agricultural pest management to result in “cured fields,” high dose treatments in metastatic disease rarely, if ever, result in a cure. So, until truly curative therapies are developed, the treatment of metastatic disease could greatly benefit from the development of a long-term management clinical paradigm that judiciously uses the plethora of therapies that are already available. Coined as “Integrated Metastatic Management,” this new clinical paradigm would draw heavily from the principles of agricultural pest management and could result in the slowing or curtailing of widespread resistance to treatment, reducing overall drug usage, and increasing the overall survival and quality of life of cancer patients.
