“The Immuno-Oncology Curve” with Dr. Steven O’Day – Guests are Dr. Joseph Grossman and Dr. Benny Johnson

Steven O’Day, the Chief Medical Officer of Agenus, shared on LinkedIn:

“In the latest episode of my podcast, ‘The Immuno-Oncology Curve‘, I’m joined by my Agenus colleagues Dr. Joseph Grossman and Dr. Benny Johnson. We talk about why we left the practice of medicine for Agenus.

And, we reflect on this year’s ASCO GI Cancers Symposium, covering the rise of early-onset cancers, the promising use of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) as a biomarker, the ongoing challenge of diversity in cancer clinical trials, and the overall potential of I-O to reduce dependence on chemotherapy and surgery.”
