Industry analyst Jeff Kagan offers comment. Kagan give Keynote Speeches at meetings and talks about industry breakthroughs like this.
On “60 Minutes” this week, Dr. Sanjay Gupta interviewed Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong on this cancer breakthrough. This piece started on CNN.
Soon-Shiong is a scientist and surgeon. He is also a billionaire through his other breakthroughs and is investing heavily into cancer research.
Soon-Shiong is attacking cancer research from several different new angles at the same time. He says one of the most promising areas is cancer genomics, where doctors can map the genome of each patients individual tumors and find individualized treatments for each.
“It seems to me that using technology to battle cancer in this is an entirely new way to wage battle on this disease. This is turning the way we battle this disease upside down and inside out.” Says Wireless Analyst Kagan.
“This is also a huge opportunity for Blackberry the wireless handset maker. They are partnered with Dr. Soon-Shiong’s company NantHealth and have developed a version of the new Passport smartphone device with the extra large screen. I have commented on this before and said this kind of device may find a home with special uses. And this cancer fight is one of these perfect cases.” Says Telecom Analyst Kagan.
“Soon-Shiong calls this Blackberry device the worlds first browser of the cancer genome. So if this genomic path turns out to be correct, then Blackberry could find a new angle for their brand and importance going forward. This is truly inspiring for Blackberry, for Soon-Shiong, for NantHealth and for the battle against cancer.” Says Tech Analyst Kagan.
