Its not game-changing. That said, its a great step forward. The T-Cell treatments or CAR-T cell treatments is one of the most promising lines of research in cancer treatment. Fred Hutch is doing a lot of research on right now. Seattle Cancer Care (which is associated with Fred Hutch) has an entire floor devoted to CAR-T trials.

CAR-T has shown that its most effective on non-solid tumors or blood based cancers. A few months ago there was a Stanford press release on them doing a combination of injecting solid tumor CAR-T and alcohol, which caused a singular tumor to be attacked and removed. |
