The CLL Society, Florida Society of Clinical Oncology, and Gilda’s Club South Florida invites you to an educational Webinar Briefing: A New Advancement for Fighting Cancer: CAR T-Cell Therapy, that will provide an overview of CAR T-cell therapy from Florida’s leading scientists. Learn about the ways in which CAR T-cell therapy treats blood cancer, what CAR T therapy means for the future of cancer treatment, and the current patient access environment and other key considerations. Find out more information and register at cllsociety.org/upcoming-cll....

Also this week we post the second part of my interview about CAR-T therapy with Dr. Utkarsh Acharya who answers three more questions about the challenges, sources of pride and frustrations of being a doctor caring for CAR-T patients so early in the therapy’s development.

Thank you for all of your work Dr. Koffman! As a recently (last month) diagnosed CLLer, I am grateful for your insight, knowledge, and courage. I use your sign-off frequently with my family to help us all cope: ‘“Stay strong. We’re all in this together”. Thank you!
