UCLA joins collaboration to advance cancer immunotherapy research | UCLA “Cancer immunotherapy is one of the most important medical advances of our time, and there is now widespread scientific consensus that the immune system is a powerful mechanism to defeat cancer,” said Dr. John Mazziotta, vice chancellor of UCLA Health Sciences and CEO of UCLA Health. “With the pioneering work being done at UCLA and the Parker Institute’s paradigm-shifting research model, we can dramatically accelerate the development of new treatments and potentially save the lives of millions of people.” Interesting. My wife got a second opinion from UCLA for her cancer. The UCLA doc concurs with my wife's present doc. The first round of chemo didn't work on my wife, so now it's more rounds of chemo. Only this time, the doc is using a new form of chemo that is brand new on the market. He got and was granted special approval for this.
