Guest commentary: Early trials support use of CAR T-cell therapy in glioblastoma
Healio What’s pretty remarkable about that trial is that they had a patient who experienced complete regression of multiple lesions after several infusions of the CAR T cells; they published that data last year. An open trial at Baylor is using CAR T cells to … |

Two patients show the promise of a historic treatment, with an equally historic price tag
CNBC Kymriah is among a new wave of therapies that use a patient’s own cells as medicine. The technology it uses is CAR-T, for chimeric antigen-receptor T–cell therapy. It uses viruses to deliver genetic material to patients’ immune cells, equipping them … Cancer Cure News: More Companies’ Version of CAR–T Treatment Expected to be ApprovedChristian Post How to invest in the fight against cancerMoneyWeek |
