Relapse after HSCT 2021 | The use of viral-specific T-cells post bone marrow transplantation

Susan Prockop, MD, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY, talks on the use of viral-specific T-cells (VSTs) following bone marrow transplantation (BMT). In comparison to other cellular therapies, VSTs have minimal toxicity and do not induce high rates of graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). Dr Prockop introduces the data that she is going to present at R-HSCT², which includes clinical trials demonstrating the efficacy of third-party VSTs in patients with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated lymphoid malignancies. This interview took place at the 2021 Relapse After HSCT² Workshop in New York, NY.
