Advancing Cancer Interception
Susan M. Domchek, Robert H. Vonderheide
Abstract
Rapid advances in technology and therapeutics, along with better methods to discern who is at risk for cancer by genetic testing and other means, has enabled the development of cancer interception. Targeted therapies and "immuno-interception" may eliminate premalignant lesions and require clinical trial and treatment paradigms altogether distinct from current approaches.
