Several weeks ago, I was sent an article about T Cell Therapy for the treatment of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). Coincidently, City of Hope, my mom's new center, was also at the forefront of testing this type of therapy! I was very excited to see this interview. Below is a blurb about this new form of therapy:The experimental treatment involves isolating infection-fighting T cells from the bloodstream, genetically altering them with a disabled virus, then re-injecting the cells into the body. The virus essentially reprograms the T cells to recognize and attack cancer cells. Unlike traditional chemotherapy, which kills both healthy and harmful cells, this new technology allows the immune system to seek out and destroy cancer cells, without damaging the body’s healthy cells.Here is a direct link to the interview with the CEO of City of Hope, Dr. Michael Friedman:http://www.thedoctorstv.com/main/content/T_Cell_TherapyWe will talk to our doctor today about treatment types. It will probably NOT be this new T Cell Therapy, but it was very exciting to me to learn that my mom's new cancer home is at the forefront of ALL treatment!
