Dana-Faber/Brigham and Women’s Cancer Center (DF/BWCC) is a certified treatment center for the just approved CAR T-cell therapy tisagenlecleucel (Kymriah™) for certain lymphoma patients. This treatment was just approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Michael Mullan was given six months to live when he came to Dana-Farber to be treated for his third cancer diagnosis. Now, two years later, Mullan's cancer is still at bay because of immunotherapy and targeted chemotherapy – and through it all, he achieved one of his dreams: graduating from Harvard Law School.
Common infections such as those that cause the common cold, strep throat, some skin conditions, or diarrheal diseases do not cause cancer or make cancer more likely to occur. However, infections with specific types of viruses, bacteria, or parasites can increase an individual’s risk for certain kinds of cancer.
Stand Up To Cancer announced a $10 million award to a Stand Up To Cancer Dream Team focused on revolutionizing the treatment of multiple myeloma, an incurable blood cancer of plasma cells, through early detection of precursor conditions before they turn into full-blown disease.
