absolutely, but also a chicken and egg problem.

a lot of immuno-onco is currently only approved for late-stage cancer patients. basically once you're near death and chemo/radio is done, you get the new stuff. and even within those groups you get people that are cancer-free within weeks. astonishing.

long term survival is unknown - sure. no one has been treated ten years ago with this stuff. besides a time machine there is no way of knowing, just waiting.

watching companies like https://www.modernatx.com/ building whole platforms is super exciting though. as someone who has lost family and young colleagues to cancer, this shit cannot come soon enough.
