In this episode, Dr. Matthew Halpert and Justin Taylor Hughes join Haylie Pomroy to discuss how immunotherapy can play a critical role in cancer treatment, particularly for patients who may not qualify for clinical trials.

Dr. Halpert outlines the clinical process used to support and treat patients, provides an in-depth explanation of immunotherapy and its role in targeting cancer, and discusses the concept of correcting biological dysfunction through biological intervention.

Justin shares his personal cancer journey, from exploring multiple treatment modalities to ultimately choosing a holistic and metabolic approach to his diagnosis. He also reflects on his experience with immunotherapy and the importance of spiritual and emotional support for himself and others navigating cancer.

Dr. Matthew Halpert, a PhD graduate in Microbiology and Immunology from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), spent 10 years at Baylor College of Medicine as a leading Cancer Immunologist. His groundbreaking work in cancer immunotherapy has been widely published and cited over 450 times. Dr. Halpert founded Diakonos Oncology, pioneering Dendritic Cell Treatment, which is currently in FDA clinical trials, including a "Fast Track" Glioblastoma trial. In 2021, he established the Immunocine Cancer Center to provide immediate access to this innovative treatment for patients ineligible for trials.
