Changing the Way We Monitor Immunotherapy with a Personalized Blood Test with Angel Rodriguez, Oncology Medical Director at Natera
Immunotherapy is a kind of treatment for cancer that changed the landscape of oncology. In this episode, we had a very insightful chat with Dr. Angel Rodríguez, Natera’s Oncology Medical Director. At the same time, he explains how immunotherapy works, what it entails, how patients can be treated, and the medical challenges around this.
With immunotherapy, doctors can choose a type of treatment that attacks cancer in a localized way instead of chemo or radiotherapy, which it’s more of a “shotgun approach.” Dr. Rodríguez shares how sometimes immunotherapy can come with more than one challenge, why it is not a standard treatment, and how Natera is innovating with blood tests to identify if there is any disease left in the body. The future of oncology lies ahead, and Natera is leading the way.
