Conventional chemotherapy: millions of cures, unresolved therapeutic index - Nature Reviews Cancer Conventional chemotherapy has successfully cured millions of patients with cancer, yet the mechanisms of action for this remain unclear. In this Perspective, Letai and de The assess the existing mecha...

It's craaazy that chemo has been in the clinic for so long, yet its therapeutic index remains incompletely understood. In this #Perspective, Letai & de The explore existing models + knowledge gaps, & suggest principles for optimizing dosing + scheduling.

This year, the term “scientist” turns 190 years old!
It was coined by William Whewell, who also considered the alternatives:
“savant”,
“philosopher”,
“nature-poker”, and
“nature-peeper”
Did he choose the right one?
