Medical Research Matters

This Substack is a chronicle of my effort to survive Stage 4a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a process that spanned over a decade and involved numerous experimental treatments, oncologists, and alternative therapies. It is about my personal experience with WF-10, an experimental drug initially developed for radiation exposure, which provided a crucial reprieve, and later with Rituxan, a monoclonal antibody that ultimately led to remission.

WF-10, The Drug That Saved My Life

This week’s Emerging Cures Substack explores Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) therapies, specifically CAR-T and CAR-NK treatments, which harness the body's immune system to combat cancer. These innovative approaches involve genetically engineering immune cells to recognize and destroy cancer cells, offering a new frontier in personalized medicine beyond traditional methods like chemotherapy.

CAR-T therapies have shown significant success in blood cancers. CAR-NK therapies are emerging as a promising alternative with lower toxicity and the potential for "off-the-shelf" availability, addressing key logistical and cost challenges.

AI is a crucial element in the design and implementation of these therapies.

The post closes with another novel cancer treatment, bacteria-based approaches

Treatments for cancer are rapidly evolving.

Significant Positive Results Are Being Achieved in CAR-T and CAR-NK Cancer Treatments

This week’s Emerging Cures Substack explores one of the most challenging areas of AI-driven cancer treatment – creating individualized patient therapies. It is also one of the most effective and promising. Although available in very few cancer treatment hospitals and treatment centers currently, it is the future of cancer medicine.

AI Is Now Designing Treatments For Each Cancer Patient As Unique As That Patient's Fingerprint

The Increasing Role of AI in Medical Research for Deadly Diseases

The new drugs, surgical procedures and diagnostic processes are vastly superior to those they are replacing.

The State of the Art in Cancer Research (As of July 2025)

Cancer treatment is undergoing a huge transformation toward highly personalized, adaptive approaches. These are enhanced by continuous adjustment based on real-time data from liquid biopsies analyzed by artificial intelligence. This is nothing short of a revolution in treatment, though currently offered by very few cancer treatment and research centers.

The Survivor Mindset

Your mental attitude must be protected and preserved. Eyes on the prize: survival.
