CAR-T Cell Therapy
from The Word on Medicine
We have an amazing program in store for you this Saturday as The Word on Medicine explores the world of CAR-T Cell Therapy. Investigators at the MCW Cancer Center have now treated their 100th patient using a process that they developed which extracts healthy T-cells from the patient’s body to manufacture a personalized, and potentially lifesaving, treatment for their unique form of blood cancer. With much success, the team has been led by Dr. Nirav Shah. Dr Shah is an expert in CAR-T cell therapy, and is joined by Katie Zellner (PA), who has been with MCW and Froedtert Health since 2009 in the field of Bone Marrow Transplant. Patients Joel and Keen add the patient perspective, which is why The Word on Medicine is so unique in bringing our listeners what is really important in medical breakthroughs and scientific discovery. Make sure to listen to this inspiring program!
