Last Friday, I participated in the Cure Panel Talk Radio Show in which the featured guest was Dr. Robert Z. Orlowski, MD, PhD-- the Director of Myeloma, and Professor of Medicine in the Departments of Lymphoma/Myeloma and Experimental Therapeutics, Division of Cancer at the University of Texas MD Anderson in Houston, Texas. It was a fascinating interview. One of the most exciting things I heard was that a new treatment is, perhaps, a year or so away. This approach will include boosting the patient's immune system so that it recognizes the myeloma cells and kills them. Wow-- using our own immune system to naturally fight these killer cells? Sounds great to me! You can listen to the recap right here: http://www.curepanel.carefeed.
