What if cancer treatment could be made more effective by going straight to the source? In this episode of All Talk Oncology, Kenny Perkins sits down with Dr. Jason Williams, a pioneering interventional radiologist who is reshaping the future of cancer care through tumor-directed immunotherapy.

 

Dr. Williams shares how his childhood experience with his grandmother's breast cancer shaped his path toward developing innovative treatments. Instead of administering immunotherapy through traditional systemic methods, he and his team inject directly into tumors, enhancing immune response and potentially reducing side effects.

 

Key points discussed:

 

  • The origin and evolution of immunotherapy: from 2011 to now
  • Why Dr. Williams transitioned from oncology to interventional radiology
  • Direct tumor injection vs. systemic immunotherapy—why it matters
  • Risks and overlooked dangers of traditional biopsy procedures
  • How immune-stimulating drugs like Tocilizumab reduce side effects
  • Addressing insurance limitations and off-label treatments
  • The surprising link between Tylenol and immunotherapy effectiveness
  • Clinical trials, success rates, and future directions in cancer treatment
  • Why patients must take charge of their own care
