In recent years, much of cancer research has been driven by new types of therapies. These therapies include t-cell therapies and precision medicine. When undergoing t-cell therapy, a patient's t-cells are extracted, engineered to target a biomarker (such as mesothelin, which is often attached to mesothelioma tumor cells but not healthy cells), and then reintroduced into the patient's body. With precision medicine, a molecule or compound is used to target a mutation or pathway known to have a role in the development of mesothelioma.
The Novel Therapies for Mesothelioma session took place at the 2023 International Symposium on Malignant Mesothelioma in Washington, DC. The presentation was led by:
Prasad Adusumilli, MD, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
Raffit Hassan, MD, National Cancer Institute
