We spoke with veteran journalist Neil Canavan about his book, A Cure Within: Scientists Unleashing the Immune System to Kill Cancer.

This week, we spoke with Canavan about the inspiration for the book, why immunotherapy may be the new “darling of oncology” and why individuals with cancer should give it a read.
