CAR T cell therapy is a "living drug" that uses a patient's own immune system to fight cancer cells. Developed at Penn Medicine by Carl June, MD, CAR T cell therapy has successfully cured blood cancers and has the potential to be translated to treating other diseases. Here, Dr. June reflects on the early remarkable triumphs of CAR T and shares the research being done now to expand this treatment within oncology and beyond. #CARTcelltherapy #cancerresearch #cancercure
