"True change will entail extending survival not by months, but by years, moving ever closer to the five-year cancer-free mark that is considered a cure. Unfortunately, this remains an elusive goal for many types of cancer due to the near inevitability of recurrence.
The reasons for this are many and controversial, but few dispute that the problem lies in the complexity of cancer, the growth and metastasis of which involve multiple processes, pathways and cell types. Because most drugs target only one of the many factors that give rise to cancer, it is not surprising that the disease so commonly displays an aptitude for evading them.
Given cancer's complexity, most agree that the long-coveted cure will be found not in a magic bullet, but in a combination of bullets aimed simultaneously at several specific targets. Here, immune-based drugs present a number of distinct advantages: their favorable safety profile is conducive to combination therapy, and a number of different immunotherapy candidates have shown promising activity against well-established tumor targets.
However, because the U.S. Food and Drug Administration requires each of these experimental treatments to be tested individually, it is far from clear that any of these products alone could pass the demanding test of significantly improving overall survival - even if there is good reason to believe that they could provide significant benefit together.

We need the FDA to consider Combinatorial Therapy as a new Product/Process that is capable to win this war on Cancer.
I have lived it first hand, and have benefited from this form of therapy. It was no fluke that I was able to jump-start my immune system. With the help of my Oncologist we were able to string the right clinical trials together to produce the right immune response. Some day we will all look back to this day and say to ourselves, why did no one take notice.
The CURE is right under our noses. Think outside the box!
