en This is a rapidly evolving field, and it's bringing a lot of different disciplines together. Unlike drugs or radiation, which are given to the patient, do their damage, and leave, what we're doing is asking the patient's own immune system to mount an attack on the cancer. It's very, very different from standard chemotherapy.

en What we see is that each person's cancer is genetically different. Some respond better to radiation, some to chemotherapy. The responses have to be assessed and the patient treated accordingly.

en You have more police officers in the year 2000 for a problem that is much less. It's like giving a cancer patient more radiation and chemotherapy after the tumor has shrunk. It doesn't make sense.

en You couldn't ethically give these (high) doses by the oral route because of toxicity, and because of the effect on the immune system. They could potentially depress the immune system and leave the patient open to opportunistic infections that could be fatal.

en IP therapy is not a new treatment approach, but it has not been widely accepted as the gold standard for women with ovarian cancer. There has been a prejudice against IP therapy in ovarian cancer because it's an old idea, it requires skill and experience for the surgery and for the chemotherapy, and it's more complicated than IV chemotherapy. But now we have firm data showing that we should use a combination of IP and IV chemotherapy in most women with advanced ovarian cancer who have had successful surgery to remove the bulk of their tumor.

en One of the longstanding problems in medicine is how to cure cancer without harming normal body tissue. Standard chemotherapy destroys cancer cells and normal cells alike. That's why patients often lose their hair and suffer numerous other side effects. For us, the Holy Grail would be finding a way to selectively kill cancer cells and not damage healthy ones.

en Approximately 30% to 40% of patients with advanced laryngeal cancer will not be cured with chemotherapy and radiation. The survival rates for such patients have traditionally been poor. That's why these patients should be identified as early as possible. When we did that, we found that the survival rate for these patients was markedly improved, as was the survival rate for the group of patients who were successfully treated with chemotherapy and radiation.

en As each patient comes in we sit down and access - with their physician, the team, and with the patient's family - what is the highest level of functionality we can hope to get this patient to. Depending on the patient, the expectations are different.

en Immune system genes respond to pathogens, which change rapidly, so the genes also change rapidly. If the pathogen is no longer there, then you don't need the immune system gene in the host.

en In this trial, we'll remove half of a lobe or less. The less lung we take, the more lung function we leave behind, so patients will be better able to handle the surgery. Without this option, we would be able to treat the high-risk patients only with radiation and chemotherapy, and these treatments aren't as successful as actually removing the cancer.

en This was the most terrifying aspect of our findings. Even though antiretroviral drugs rescue the immune system, AIDS is still stalking the brain. A protective blood barrier prevents drugs from entering the brain, transforming it into a reservoir where HIV can multiply and attack cells unchecked.

en One of the potential uses we envision is to use the ART treatment as a way to use tumor components to immunize cancer patients against their own cancer cells. The current problem with this treatment strategy is that the tumor gives off a variety of soluble products which we don't fully understand, but which we know wreck havoc on the immune system by suppressing its various components. If we can use the ART drugs to increase the number of newly produced T cells in cancer patients first, we can potentially improve the likelihood of getting a cancer vaccine to work.
