From lab to community: Dr. Disis brings cancer vaccine insights to Spokane


CVI Director Dr. Nora Disis visited Spokane, Washington last month to share the progress and promise of cancer vaccines as a prevention and cure.


In recognition of October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Dr Disis hosted a free community lecture at Gonzaga University. She shared the different kinds of breast cancer vaccines being developed at the CVI and said we expect the first FDA-approved one in five to eight years. 


Beyond her talk, she also engaged with local media.


"Many cancers, once considered death sentences when I started the practice of oncology 25 years ago, can now be managed, allowing patients to live full lives," Dr. Disis said on NonStop Local.
