AnCan is excited to host one of the World’s leading cancer immunologists, Professor Dr. Larry Fong . Not just a leading researcher in the field of immuno-oncology, AnCan’s good friend Larry is a highly compassionate genitourinary clinician who has treated several of our participants over many years. We are honored to have Larry as an Advisory Board Member,
Dr. Fong is the Co-Director and Medical Director the UCSF Cancer Immunotherapy Program, one of 5 Centers privileged to be part of the Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy. While professionally he now has a pan-cancer focus, Larry’s sub-specialty is prostate cancer. He was the Principle Investigator for Sipileucel-T (Provenge) , the first therapeutic cancer vaccine to be approved by the FDA back in 2010!
As you see above, Larry loves to smile – what a gift in the field of oncology! Not only does he smile often – he also has a great sense of humor. There’s a wonderful story behind this heart-warming pix with our dear, departed buddy, Jerry Carniglia – listen in to hear it! Amongst Jerry’s many talents, he was a collectible fine artist; this video, shown at a posthumous show at the Townsend Gallery on UC Berkeley campus, will make you smile and cry! Jerry’s Trust has donated some 18 enormous canvasses for display on rotation in the brand new Bakar Precision Medicine Building.
Dr. Fong will first explain the principles behind immuno-oncology in understandable terms with a pan cancer focus. He will then take questions on specific disease – BUT PLEASE keep your questions general rather than case specific.
