ASH 2017: CAR-T Wallops Blood Cancer
The American Society of Hematology (ASH) annual meeting this past weekend was chock-full of excitement, including an unexpected snowstorm in Atlanta and a slew of game-changing non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and multiple myeloma trial results for chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapies (CAR-T). These CAR-T trial results suggest we're fast approaching a major shift in how we battle blood cancer, so let's look at the latest data.
Cancer cells often express proteins on their surface that healthy cells usually don't, and CAR-T therapy that targets those proteins is proving to be an effective way to battle back against blood cancer.
