"Immunotherapy holds the key for curing cancer," says Zihai Li, the founding director of the Pelotonia Institute for Immuno-Oncology. In this episodes, Dr. Li provides an update on the important work of the institute, which has recruited 15 world-class cancer researchers in the past year, and describes two new genetic mutations that have been discovered — GARP and the hedgehog mutation — that hide cancer cells from the body's immune system. He also explains how immunotherapy drugs in development allow T cells and natural killer cells to detect and destroy cancer. "We're not there yet for every patient and every cancer, so we have a lot of work to do," Li says.
