Is how we think about and approach cancer all wrong? By reexamining the roots of cancer evolution, a shift in thinking may lead to significant new developments. Listen up to learn: How Richard Jacobs became invested in researching cancer and the immune system The shortcomings of current cancer treatment The questions we should be asking of researchers and scientists Richard Jacobs, the founder of the Finding Genius Podcast, joins the conversation with Perry Marshall to discuss revolutionizing the way we approach cancer treatment and the possibilities the future holds. Cancer is one of the most significant and prevalent issues plaguing humankind. However, despite tremendous research budgets and efforts, there has been little progress in finding any base causes for the condition. While chemotherapy and radiation are the industry standard, the reality of the situation is that they alone often aren't enough and can cause damage of their own. However, if we take a fresh perspective on cancer and lose inhibition in asking new questions, we may just find a magic bullet that has never before been considered.

T cell differentiation is an essential process in our body, initially being able to control infection and limit tumor growth. However, if the process reaches T cell exhaustion, it can cause a variety of problems in our immune response. While T cell exhaustion is similar to viruses and tumors, the response can be varied, even if slightly. Still, the reversal of T cell exhaustion has been shown to be effective and will only become more comprehensive as research progresses.
