Surgical Oncology
A surgical oncologist is a surgeon specializing in the removal of cancerous masses. Essentially, they are general surgeons who undergo additional training in oncology and related surgical techniques. They possess expertise in conducting specific tests to assist in cancer diagnosis. CRISPR gene editing has the potential to genetically modify T cells within months, not the typical year or two, making it an innovative tool for cancer treatment. This could translate to faster treatment for patients.
