Novel ‘Cure’ For Cancer Treatment
June said, Now we can finally say the word cure with CAR T cells. In 2010, when the trial began, the idea for this sort of therapy was way out there, he added. In CAR T therapy, T cells (white blood cells that fight viruses) are removed from a patient s blood and re-introduced after being genetically engineered to fight cancer. Patients T cells are taught to recognize and destroy B cells, a key player in cancer formation throughout the body. Without B cells " or cancer " patients require regularly-scheduled infusions of immunoglobulin infusions, which replenish antibodies. Many people with blood cancer have benefitted from CAR T therapy, which has proved especially effective against acute leukemia. Roughly a third of patients who underwent the CAR T therapy have gone into remission, but many patients later relapse. Dr. John F. DiPersio, chief of the division of oncology at Washington University in St. Louis, said, The question is not only why some patients relapse or are resistant to therapy but why are some patients cured? He continued, Oncologists don t use words like cure lightly or easily or, frankly, very often, he said. I guarantee that it s not being used lightly. The patients we treated had far advanced disease, he noted, adding, the biggest disappointment is that it doesn t work all the time.
