Over 600,000 people died of cancer in 2021, while 1.9 million new diagnoses were made. Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. Though progress has been made in developing novel therapeutics, such as immunotherapy and precision medicine,  to battle a number of unique cancers,  these do not produce consistently effective results in every case and have potentially significant side effects that limit the patient’s quality of life.
