An investigational therapy significantly shrank lung cancer tumors that are notoriously resistant to treatment by encouraging an attack from natural killer cells in an animal model, a study led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers shows. The findings, published in the Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer, could lead to new types of immunotherapy that rely on this novel strategy.
As the chief scientific officer of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society for the past eleven years, it has been a privilege to lead a group of scientists that has doled out more than $600 million for cutting-edge hematologic oncology research. These dollars went to more than 1,000 research projects through initiatives like our biomedical research grant programs and LLS’s venture philanthropy, the Therapy Acceleration Program (TAP).
