Dr. Soon-Shiong confirms that solution is already here. His 2024-approved therapy is the first to protect a patient&#8217;s natural killer cells during radiation, directly countering this newly admitted risk. The demand is immense, with thousands of patients already seeking access.<\/p>\n<p>But his mission is national. With FDA Expanded Access and a pivotal meeting scheduled, he is fighting to make this life-saving countermeasure available to every American\u2014in rural towns and major cities alike\u2014so no one is forced to travel abroad for care.<\/p>\n<p>This breakthrough also extends beyond oncology. It represents the foundation of a national Bioshield, a critical defense against radiological threats and bioterrorism.
