Medical researchers say New Zealanders are missing out on a transformative cancer treatment that's been proven to make a difference. It's called CAR T-cell therapy. As it stands, Kiwis have to travel thousands of kilometres overseas to receive this treament, which in and of itself is complex and costly. The Malaghan Institute of Medical Research is spearheading an awareness campaign about CAR T-cell therapy this month, and clinical director Professor Robert Weinkove joins me now to discuss it.
