ASH19 CAR-T — Victor Segura Ibarra and Rita Serda, Ph.D., NCI, NIH

The Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday approved a futuristic new approach to treating cancer, clearing a Novartis therapy that has produced unprecedented results in patients with a rare and deadly cancer. The price tag: $475,000 for a course of treatment.
