The side effects of cancer treatment are often cited as the more harrowing part of fighting the disease. But thanks to the success of a clinical trial at MUSC Hollings Cancer Center, and a $3.2 million grant from the National Cancer Institute, treatment for certain cancers may come with fewer complications. Brian Hess, M.D., and Shikhar Mehrotra, Ph.D., have partnered on a project to develop “purified” CAR-T cells to treat people with certain B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas who have already tried other therapies. CAR-T cell therapy is FDA-approved for certain types of blood cancer, but the Hollings trial is testing a new patented variation that the researchers hope will have longer-lasting results with fewer side effects. #ChangingWhatsPossible Read more: https://lnkd.in/ewBjKec8 #CancerResearch #cancer

Patients aren't the only ones who benefit from visits from therapy dogs like Berry here. Our MUSC Therapy Animal program serves staff and visitors, lending a furry-friend break when it's needed most. Volunteer Elise came round with Berry to the surgical trauma intensive care unit (STICU) and was a hit with the hard-working nursing team. Thank you to Elise and Berry - we are fur-ever grateful to you!
