A fascinating journey alongside a team of scientists on the verge of a breakthrough in cancer treatment. Dan Chen is part of a new generation of researchers attempting to crack the centuries-old mystery of how to harness the body's innate defence system to defeat cancer. Here, New York Times-bestselling author Charles Graeber follows Chen and his team to the forefront of medicine in the twenty-first century, shining a light on the rapid advances in cancer treatment over the past decade, and exploring in depth the idea that our own bodies may be the best weapon for recognising and killing cancer cells. This research heralds a new approach to cancer treatment that brings not just hope, but optimism, for a cure.
