Emerging Frontiers: CAR T-Cell Therapy for Solid Tumors in Thyroid Cancer

Host: Matt Birnholz, MD Guest: Saad Kenderian M.B, Ch.B CAR T-cell therapy has been revolutionary in the treatment of blood cancers like chronic lymphocytic leukemia and multiple myeloma, and according to recent research, this therapeutic approach may also help patients with thyroid cancer. However, there are several challenges associated with applying this technology to target solid tumors in thyroid cancer, like tumor heterogeneity and resistance. Joining Dr. Matt Birnholz to talk about these challenges and how a research team is working to overcome them is Dr. Saad J. Kenderian, Assistant Professor of Oncology, Immunology, and Medicine at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
