Medical oncologists Dr. Kamal Abbi and Dr. Brian Burnette discuss BiTE therapy, a groundbreaking immunotherapy treatment for various cancers. They explain how this therapy works by harnessing the body’s own immune system, its rapid evolution, and who is eligible for treatment.
“We’re at the tip of the iceberg… moving a non-curable but manageable disease to a curable disease with a time-limited, not indefinite treatment.” – Dr. Brian Burnette
In this episode of Cancer Covered, you’ll learn:
- This bispecific T-cell engaging antibody therapy acts like a magnet, bringing the body’s own “killer T-cells” into direct contact with cancer cells to destroy them.
- This targeted treatment is showing remarkable results, with the potential to turn previously incurable cancers into curable diseases.
- Green Bay Oncology is committed to bringing this life-changing treatment to communities across the region, so patients don’t have to travel to distant centers.
- What a newly diagnosed patient should ask their oncologist about BiTE therapy and clinical trials.
