in the audience
emotions of sadness and anger and fear,
osjećaje tuge, ljutnje i straha,
from the front lines of cancer research.
s prve crte istraživanja raka.
the war on cancer.
u ratu protiv raka.
developments within cancer research.
unutar istraživanja raka.
encoded by DNA
kodiranih od strane DNK
in the DNA called mutations
to go out of control.
da nekontrolirano raste.
I was part of the team at Johns Hopkins
u bolnici Johns Hopkins
the mutations of cancers.
over 90 projects in 70 countries
u sedamdeset zemalja
the genetic basis of these diseases.
genetske osnove ovih bolesti.
of cancers are understood
desetke tisuća pojava raka
is precision medicine,
to be able to treat cancers,
za sve tipove raka,
that are able to target cancers
kojom možemo ciljano liječiti rak,
of these tailor-made drugs,
ovih specijaliziranih lijekova
their therapy for their patients,
terapiju za svoje pacijente,
is immunotherapy,
je imunoterapija,
to leverage the immune system
iskoristiti imunosni sustav
where we find the off switches of cancer,
gdje smo našli prekidače za gašenje raka,
to turn the immune system back on,
aktivirati imunosni sustav,
where you can take away immune cells
kojima možete uzeti imunosne stanice
and put them back into the body
science fiction, doesn't it?
znanstvena fantastika, zar ne?
at the National Cancer Institute,
pri Nacionalnom Institutu za rak,
with some of the pioneers of this field
od pionira na ovom polju
preko 600 kliničkih testiranja
to explore all aspects in immunotherapy.
svih vidova imunoterapije.
revolutions are ongoing,
revolucije događaju,
with a skin cancer called melanoma.
has gone everywhere.
to map the mutations of this cancer
mapirali mutacije ovog raka
that targets one of the mutations.
koje cilja jednu od mutacija.
the end of the story.
ponovo je slikano.

različitih stanica.
in these different cancers
u tim stanicama
to different drugs.
na različite lijekove.
that's highly effective,
izrazito učinkovit
that there's a small population
What do we do with this information?
Što radimo s ovim informacijama?
advancements in cancer therapy earlier,
u terapiji raka ranije,
is early detection.
je u ranom otkrivanju.
results in better outcomes,
dobijemo bolje rezultate
if you detect cancer in stage four,
ako ga otkrijete u četvrtom stadiju,
survive at five years.
this cancer as early as stage one,
of women are detected at stage one,
žena dijagnosticiramo u prvom stadiju,
are detected in stages three and four.
dijagnosticirano u trećem i četvrtom.
better detection mechanisms for cancers.
za otkrivanje raka.
fall into one of three categories.
spadaju u jednu od ove tri kategorije.
for colon cancer.
like PSA for prostate cancer.
kao za rak prostate.
infrastructure to implement.
in some populations,
kod nekih populacija,
in some circumstances,
u određenim okolnostima,
of false positives,
lažnih pozitivnih rezultata,
and unnecessary procedures.
nepotrebnim pretragama i liječenjima.
while useful in some populations,
kod nekih populacija,
to all patients.
na sve pacijente.
in women with dense breasts.
kod žena koje imaju gusto tkivo dojki.
that is noninvasive,
koja nije invazivna,
to be able to detect cancers
giving a talk if it didn't.
da ne postoji.
this latest technology we've developed.
informacije o najnovijoj tehnologiji.
is a simple blood test.
jednostavan test krvi.
while seemingly mundane,
iako se čini vrlo običan,
and nutrients to your cells,
faster than normal cells,
brže od normalnih stanica
of these cancer cells
genome sequencing projects,
sekvenciranja genoma raka,
to be large enough to cause symptoms,
dovoljno uznapredovao i izazove simptome,
to show up on imaging,
kako bi se vidio na slikama,
on medical procedures,
medicinskim procedurama,
while they are relatively pretty small,
dok je još relativno malen,
of DNA in the blood.
with a simple blood test --
počinjemo testiranjem krvi,
is extract the DNA out of it.
većinom zdrave stanice,
will be from healthy cells.
less than one percent,
manje od 1 posto,
to be able to enrich this DNA
koristimo metode molekularne biologije,
to be associated with cancer,
da su povezani s rakom,
from the cancer genomics projects.
koji su se bavili genomikom raka.
into DNA-sequencing machines
i staviti je u sekvencer
into A's, C's, T's and G's
u A, C, T i G
of billions of letters
o milijardama slova
and computational methods
i računalne metode
the small signal that's present,
mali signal koji je prisutan,
of cancer DNA in the blood.
DNK raka u krvi.
of really predicting right now
da zaista predvidimo
that we have today,
i uz najbolje lijekove danas,
these recurrences of cancers
povratak raka
at University College London,
sa Sveučilišta u Londonu,
an example of one patient.
primjer jednog pacijenta.
who undergoes surgery
koji odlazi na operaciju
and imaging methods.
i metode vizualizacije, odnosno slikanja.
the cancer comes back.
Are we able to catch this earlier?
uočiti ranije?
we've been collecting blood serially
serijski smo skupljali krv,
the amount of ctDNA in the blood.
količinu ctDNK u krvi.
kako smo i očekivali,
of cancer DNA in the blood.
DNK raka u krvi.
in subsequent time points
kasnijim vremenskim točkama
after subsequent points.
of cancer DNA in the blood,
skok DNK raka u krvi
for days 400 and 450.
oko 400. i 450. dana.
in the cancer DNA in the blood.
DNK raka u krvi.
over a hundred days earlier
stotinu dana ranije
where we can give therapies,
u kojima možemo liječiti,
where we can do surgical interventions,
možemo obaviti operaciju,
for the cancer to grow
da rak raste,
for resistance to occur.
da se stvori otpornost.
means the matter of life and death.
znači razliku između života i smrti.
about this information.
zbog ovih informacija.
we've done additional studies now
odradili smo dodatne studije
we can find these cancers.
koliko ranije ćemo uočiti ove vrste raka.
of our standard physical exams,
kao dio svakog liječničkog pregleda,
we will be able to compare
moći ćemo napraviti usporedbu
signatures of cancer,
months to even years earlier.
pa čak i godinama ranije.
koje imamo trenutno,
of lives could be saved.
života mogli spasiti.
recent advancements in immunotherapy
nedavne napretke u imunoterapiji
are working feverishly
vrlo aktivno rade
