Insights into cellular therapies for cancer treatment

Drug Target Review

Stem cell transplants primarily help the immune response through the “graft-versus-leukaemia effect,” and we have to manage the “graft versus host effect.” This involves the use of CAR-T cell products derived from donor T cells, hence the term “off the shelf,” making it easier to standardise treatments.

AI Tool CHIEF Paints a Landscape of a Cancer, Refining Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prognosis

PLOS: DNA Science

Diagnosis began to shift from a body-part basis to a molecular one, which I wrote about in “Mutation and location important in cancer treatment” for The Lancet in 2015. This removes the cancer’s blocking of the immune response, so that T cells can fight the cancer.

Top five breakthroughs in advancing breast cancer therapies

Drug Discovery World

While advances in treatment over the last few years have resulted in good overall survival rates for patients with non-metastatic disease (90% five-year survival rate in the US 1 ), outcomes are still poor in certain cancers that do not respond to standard therapies. Advances in understanding treatment resistant cancer cells (part 1).
