        Here are the two video’s, first from Dr. Weber at ASCO 2018 at the 1:17 min mark and second one from ASCO 2019 featuring Dr. Jason Luke talking about NkTR-214. https://www.onclive.com/inside-oncology/asco-2018-news/asco-2018-dr-weber-highlights-exciting-abstracts-in-melanoma

          This is fascinating Ed, especially the “Antifreeze” component actually elongating half-life of IL-2, etc

          On a side note, it wasn’t until just recently I’ve started watching the video links (i’ve been used to reading the articles). I have to say, these onclive videos are so FUN (i know that sounds weird) to watch. What would take me days of reading and rereading to even understand, is clearly articulated by these doctors in a different format that is easily ingested. I think I have a much better handle on these treatments from watching these videos. Does Dr. Weber or any of these doctors ever sleep! They do so much, as well as you. THANK YOU for sharing this, the information in this form is so digestable!

            WOW! That’s great news, Ed! Thanks for sharing! Here’s my take from ASCO 2019 (it’s the first one I reviewed in this link) as well as some perspective on the studies (from 2013 and 2018) leading up to the present – for those of you who are interested: https://chaoticallypreciselifeloveandmelanoma.blogspot.com/2019/06/new-stuff-treatment-options-and-current.html

            Slowly we turn, but turn we do!! c

              Don’t worry Ed, I already have GERD! Dr. Diab though did take a few run throughs. Celeste, just watched videos from Dr. Sondak from Moffitt on intralesionals. Pretty fascinating about how they are trying use the intralesionals not only to treat the injected tumor but also stimulating an overall immune response. I’ve gone down the rabbit hole of watching these videos, have to stop and get dinner now.
