  1. What a waste of money!!! Below are two brief points:

    1. As usual, IU was very slow when the revolution of immuno-oncology took off. In fact, there appears to be NOTHING that has come out of IU in this area. Initially, there were the checkpoint inhibitors which took off first. By now, everyone has heard of the most successful one from Merck, Keytruda. In 2018, the Nobel Prize went to two investigators. One of those scientist was James P. Allison, who is at MD ANDERSON CANCER CENTER (https://www.mdanderson.org/research/departments-labs-institutes/labs/allison-laboratory.html). It is important to us here in Indianapolis that years ago, the Community Health network has been affiliated with MD ANDERSON (https://www.ecommunity.com/services/cancer-care)

    2. The next area in immuno-oncology area which was developed of CART-T therapy. The utilization of CART-T therapy for certain types of cancer is NOT unique to IU. Franciscan Health, here in Indianapolis, has its own program (https://www.franciscanhealth.org/health-care-services/car-t-cell-therapy-624).

    These are just two examples of how IU cancer program has been mostly hype and no substance What a waste of all that money!!!. Over the years, we citizens of Indiana have suffered because the leaders of our State have not pushed to get more research medical schools up and running in our State. We deserve better. The IU cancer story is the tip of iceberg.

    1. Perhaps a new tag line is in order – “Average care, poorly delivered at the highest cost”.
      What a waste of resources – dollars and caregivers alike.
