New Clinical Trial is Testing CAR-T Cell Therapy for Mesothelioma and Other Hard to Treat Tumors
A new clinical trial that launched this month is testing a new immunotherapy regimen that could offer hope to people with mesothelioma and other hard to treat cancers. It will be examining an experimental treatment that utilizes CAR-T cells, an immune cell engineered to find and attack cancer cells. The[…]
