Episode 4: Mission Immuno-possible - The Cancer-Fighting Secret Agent - a podcast by AbbVie StoryLab

Brett heads out to California to meet with a specialist in immuno-oncology, but even her job title makes him wonder: what does the immune system have to do with cancer? Does this have something to do with these CAR-T cells he keeps hearing about? Why are some cancers considered “worse” than others? And if we can find a way to prevent smallpox and get a man on the moon, why aren’t we closer to finding a cure for cancer? Brett just doesn’t get it.

In our fourth episode, Diane Hollenbaugh, senior director, immuno-oncology, discovery, AbbVie, helps Brett understand what cancer is, how it acts, and why our own immune systems may one day be cancer’s kryptonite.
