Immunotherapy pioneers Michel Sadelain, MD, PhD, of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), and Carl June, MD, of the University of Pennsylvania, have published a seminal review of the current landscape of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) therapy in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM). In the comprehensive review article, Drs. Sadelain and June highlight the emerging immunotherapy treatment for hematologic cancers known as CAR T cells, which was developed at MSK. The paper is the first in a series being published by NEJM. Known as Frontiers in Medicine, it will showcase ways that new technologies are influencing contemporary medicine and science.
