Thank them for not giving up on immunotherapy, which was apparently dismissed decades ago. If you look at Dr Allison's publications he's been spending a lot of time on cancer immunotherapy specifically

[NourLababidi]

Congratulations and thank you for making many lives better!

Wow this is exciting! I just finished learning about immunology at A level this has got me even more excited about our immune system. Congratulations to the winners!

Can't argue with this one. Richly deserved.

[hebaelwassef]

They both deserve it, they started the research area of cancer immunotherapy and their discoveries have led to the development of many drugs targeting different types of cancers lastly a new one approved by FDA for cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. They are great men with great minds.

[snehakhanal]

congratulations
It was very well deserved

[albertash.m]

just amazing and a realy breakthrough in cancer therapy.. it has the advantage of being more specific against the harmful cells only not in rondom way just like previous lines of ttt it looks like the revolution of antibiotic to a large extent

[alokkumarnpbt]

He is great among the greatest scientists. For me, it's really very proud to be his student.

[lyricsuniverse]

Science is so amazing. These people have proved it.

[Mal-xzzu]

Well deserved, but there should be more of these prizes. For instance, why have Stewart Adams, and the rest of the team that developed Ibuprofen, not won the Nobel prize?
Just imagine all the pain they have relieved! Maybe they should have a Nobel prize for medicine every month. This would keep what's really important in people's minds every month, rather than just once a year.

Wonder Why every questions are from Chinese?

[MikeJunior]

@17:17 Wow! What a disrespectful question!

[cynthiaponce]

The one who asked about the other LI CHEN something... is it because he is Chinese and you are also and that is why you have asked!
