James P. Allison and Tasuko Honjo were announced to receive the Nobel prize. I remember the big talk by James Allison - and more or less a whole conference last year in London. There are, as usual, many contributors to the field, and my impression over the decades was, that Nobel prizes are often decades after the findings. Is this a relatively fast Nobel recognition?
Cancer is one of greatest health problems, second leading cause of death globally, and is responsible for an estimated 9.6 million deaths in 2018. The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2018 was awarded jointly to James P. Allison and Tasuku Honjo "for their discovery of cancer therapy by inhibition of negative immune regulation." Congratulations!
Yes, Congrats them for Nobel prize for their discovery of Cancer therapy.
Researchers know the main causes of cancer like alcohol; cigarette smoking and junk food. So what is the purpose of Noble price if there is no international coordination to take actions and save lifes? similar to global earming; What do people need to WAKE UP?
