By Susan Buckles Susan Buckles (@susanbuckles)

Jon Stahlecker had exhausted all treatment options and lost hope of surviving chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) before the Mayo Clinic offered him chimeric antigen receptor-T cell therapy (CAR-T cell therapy) in a clinical trial. “We got all our affairs in order. I was trying to see as many people and relatives as I could,” says Stahlecker. “We had bought land […]

Addressing the challenges of chimeric antigen receptor-T cell therapy

By Susan Murphy Susan Murphy (@susanmurphy)

Article by Marla Broadfoot Chimeric antigen receptor-T cell therapy (CAR-T cell therapy) — a type of immunotherapy that reprograms a patient’s T cells to recognize and destroy cancer cells — has revolutionized the treatment of blood cancers. While the technique has successfully sent patients with advanced disease into remission, it is far from perfect. CAR-T cell […]

Gene therapy: potential and pitfalls

By Susan Buckles Susan Buckles (@susanbuckles)

Research is advancing gene therapy as a possible treatment or eventual cure for genetic diseases that bedevil modern science. Gene therapy was conceived over 20 years ago, and until recently, remained largely in the research lab. But gene therapy products are now beginning to be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for clinical […]

Meet Saad Kenderian: Using the body to recognize and attack cancer

By Susan Buckles Susan Buckles (@susanbuckles)

For as long as he can remember, Saad Kenderian, M.B., Ch.B., wanted to be a physician. Nothing could blunt his resolve –not even when improvised explosive devices, bombs and trappings of war put the medical school in his native Baghdad, Iraq, on a brief hiatus. It is with that same determination he leads Mayo Clinic’s […]
