Coded to Cure

The same platform that ended a pandemic turned to a more personal enemy: vaccines coded from an individual tumour's own mutations, teaching one immune system to hunt one cancer.

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts come largely from trial participants — melanoma and pancreatic patients whose tumours were sequenced and whose vaccines were manufactured for an audience of one: the biopsies and the waiting for a bespoke drug, injection days alongside immunotherapy, scans that stayed clean across years, and recurrences that came despite the marvel. Writers describe the strange intimacy of a treatment with their name on it, trial logistics and lotteries of eligibility, and hope calibrated by oncologists who use the word cautiously.

Who it's for

For patients exploring vaccine trials, families following this frontier, and readers watching personalised medicine arrive one genome at a time.
