Some advanced cancer patients find that they don’t get durable responses from any treatments, and their condition continues to deteriorate. They need to identify new treatment options while also dealing with side effects, weakening health, and blows to their resiliency. Things get even more urgent when the tumors start pressing on organs, and the cancer mutates to an even more aggressive form.

Consider the case of Amit Gattani, a stage 4 (metastatic) prostate cancer patient, who has been battling the disease for over four years. He is 53, and was diagnosed when he was 49. He is on his eighth line of treatment (including an immunotherapy trial) in the four years, and he has not found anything that has substantially reduced his aggressive disease.
