Leukaemia treatment: patients ‘cured’ by new CAR-T therapy
12 October 2018 - Patients battling deadly leukaemia will be “cured” by a breathtaking new therapy that can kill cancer within weeks with just one injection of reprogrammed blood cells.
Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt will today ask state counterparts at a Council of Australian Governments meeting in Adelaide to allow the revolutionary CAR-T therapy in public hospitals, in a bid to save more lives.
Mr Hunt told The Courier-Mail he wanted to make Australia one of the global treatment centres for CAR-T.
