Hemminki, Crossing the Valley of Death with Advanced Cancer Therapy

The Valley of Death, the gap between research and clinical practices, is hard to bridge. It becomes impassable when the supervisory medical authority claims that advanced therapies are illegal to use as treatment in patients with incurable cancer. Internationally leading oncolytic virus researcher Dr Akseli Hemminki reveals problems, solutions, hopes and enthusiasms relating to advanced cancer therapies. This book reads like a thriller and the reader is taken through many surprising events, which - incredibly - are true.
