“While this [implementation of bispecific T-cell engager therapy] is not an easy thing to make happen, it’s possible for it to be done safely and effectively. That’s what we’re trying to show community cancer centers across the country—that they’re able to offer this therapy to their patients.” 

 Hear more about this innovation at the ACCC 41st National Oncology Conference, October 9-11, 2024, in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
