Every year, 2,500 Australians are diagnosed with Myeloma, an incurable blood cancer. While patients undergo multiple rounds of chemoimmunotherapy to control their symptoms, most myeloma patients survive less than six years from their diagnosis.
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells which target B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) protein on myeloma cells are a new and highly effective cellular therapy in patients who have exhausted all other treatment options.
Join us for this free community health talk to learn about A/Professor Agnes Yong and her team’s research aims to help Western Australian patients access this life-saving treatment at Royal Perth Hospital.
