Jason Fung does a very good job of challenging this perspective in his latest book ‘The Cancer Code’

This is a great talk. Jimmy explains about the hope there is in cancer research so even a non scientist can follow and be encouraged. Thanks so much Jimmy.

Jimmy Lin boiled down a great deal of complexity to a compelling story that gives us all hope. His vision and approach may seem novel now, but it's been long in coming, and it sheds light on what the future will look like.

Cancer snipers! Love it. I plan to use this video in my BIO for Majors classes. I am excited to show them how the stuff in the textbook actually relates to real life solutions. I find this extremely motivational and hopeful. Thank you Dr. Lin for all you do and for taking the time to share with the rest of us.

A very well done explanation of the latest treatments in fighting cancer. Imagine what will be available in fighting cancer 10 years from now! Amazing stuff!

I love how passion and excited he is. Also you make harder concepts of science very easy to understand!

This talk was amazing. There is hope and it's great to hear that treatment or even a cure is not too far away.

This is fantastic news, with a lot of hope for cancer victims and everyone (because we all know someone).

when this is watched in conjunction with Dr Soon Shiong's work it is absolutely tenable. Good job Jimmy.

Thank you Jimmy, for all your hard work. Scientists researching cures are the true heroes of society.

Thank you for the talk, Jimmy. You gave the outsiders like me a great overview about what the field is going on. You let us know about the forefront of the research. This is really amazing.... BTW, my wife is doing cancer immunotherapy.

Love your talk, love your positivity.

How about an update on research and treatments available in 2018. Good stuff Mr. Lin.
-
Thank you for this view into the development of treatments. Hopefully we can get these distributed to the world quickly.

This is an excellent talk!!! As a physician and cancer researcher myself, I find this talk not only motivating and inspiring, but also reminding me of how I got into cancer research in the first place and our common goal to make cancer a curable disease. We have indeed come a long way in the fight against cancer, and maybe started winning, one small step at a time. Dr. Lin did a fantastic job explaining these amazing scientific advances in cancer medicine to a general audience. Thank you, Dr. Lin!

It's sooo exciting! So proud of you Jimmy!

Amazing, Jimmy, thank you so much for sharing these good news with us!

And yet, if I had cancer today, chemotherapy is what would happen until I was broke and then died because cancer is a business and hope is funding it. With cancer, the cure is, and always has been exciting, promising, and right around the corner . Sad
