CVI Director Dr. Nora Disis visited Spokane, Washington last month to share the progress and promise of cancer vaccines as a prevention and cure.
In recognition of October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Dr Disis hosted a free community lecture at Gonzaga University. She shared the different kinds of breast cancer vaccines being developed at the CVI and said we expect the first FDA-approved one in five to eight years.
Beyond her talk, she also engaged with local media.
"Many cancers, once considered death sentences when I started the practice of oncology 25 years ago, can now be managed, allowing patients to live full lives," Dr. Disis said on NonStop Local.
