Because of Hoag Innovators… “We have enrolled a high number of late-stage pancreatic cancer patients in the NK (natural killer) cell therapy trial. It’s an unheard-of number for one institution. We’re excited about that because all we want is the best for patients and to give them another chance at continuing to live life. Now, Hoag is constantly being asked by other leading immunotherapy companies to open additional cell therapy trials in other cancer types, which will benefit many more patients."
