Show Notes
- Alex Young, a 37-year-old UCLA genetics researcher, opens up about his stage 4 colorectal cancer diagnosis despite having no known family history or identifiable genetic risk.
- Young describes months of warning signs, a false-negative blood test and delayed colonoscopy before doctors discover rectal cancer that has spread to his liver.
- After chemotherapy, radiation and surgery, Young turns to next-generation immunotherapy while confronting the physical and emotional toll of fighting cancer at such a young age.
- A GoFundMe campaign raises roughly $120,000 in a matter of hours, allowing Young to pursue a personalized cancer vaccine designed around the unique mutations in his tumor.
- Young explains how personalized cancer vaccines train the immune system to recognize tumor cells and why greater research, faster manufacturing and wider access could make the technology available to more patients.
