Thought I’d post this link about the NHS now using CAR-T therapy. Very exciting treatment, especially with regards to how it might be used in the future (hasn’t been used on MPNs yet as far as I know, but has been getting 80% success rates on some advanced blood cancers). Each treatment is tailored specifically for the individual patient. Basically they take a patient’s blood, “teach” the drug to target the cancer cells, and then put it back into their body. Hugely expensive and early days but exciting.
