In the second part of my ASH 2012 interview, Dr. Wierda gives practical advice about CAR-T trials, and a non-chemo future with the cancer knocked down with one of the small molecules and then knocked out with the immune punch of CAR-T therapy. He believes this might be a path to a cure. See bkoffman.blogspot.com
