The study, “Axicagagene Ciloleucel (CD19 CAR T) in Refractory Large B-Cell Lymphoma,” was led by Sattva Neelapu of the MD Anderson Cancer Center and Frederick Locke of the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute.
The cancer death rate dropped 1.7% from 2014 to 2015, continuing a decline that began in 1991 and has reached 26%, resulting in nearly 2.4 million fewer cancer deaths during that time.
