Rebecca asked Nicholas Nash:

Just finished reading your amazing thrill ride! It had me guessing all the way to the end. Wanted to ask what kind of research you did for it? Is any part of the cancer treatment do able in the future?

Nicholas Nash I went through a lot of recent work done in the biotech arena in the field of immunotherapy. Everything in the book about cancer research and immunotherapy is true and based on current research and ongoing development. You can Google "CAR-T cell immunotherapy" for what I'm referencing. This treatment will be available for cancer patients within the next 5 years. The universal cancer vaccine is a bit further away in my opinion. Several researchers are working on this but cancer is a complex disease and a single vaccine, while being a true game changer, is probably a decade away from being a practical therapy for cancer patients. Hope this helps. Feel free to let me know if you have more questions. I can point you to the articles that reference each of these treatments.
