  • Intratumoral Therapies Offer Novel Cancer Treatment Approach: Injecting cancer treatments such as vaccines and genetically modified bacteria and viruses directly into tumors may shrink or destroy the tumors and stimulate an immune response that attacks tumor cells. These treatments have shown promise in clinical trials, and newer trials are exploring whether such treatments can augment the effectiveness of immunotherapy in patients with metastatic or inoperable disease.
  • High-Risk Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Subtype Targeted in Upcoming Clinical Trial: Early T cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ETP-ALL), an uncommon subtype of T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), carries a poor prognosis and low response rate to traditional chemotherapy drugs. But a clinical trial of a targeted agent that shows promise against ETP-ALL will soon be enrolling patients at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
