If I read correctly, it appears that the treatment is not a new drug, but adding existing immunotherapy drugs to standard radiation and chemo - and sequencing immunotherapy before other treatments. That protocol has keep Dr. Scolyer alive for 2 1/2 years from his neuroblastoma diagnosis.

One of my son’s childhood friends died of neuroblastoma at age 20. His mom documented the daily struggles in CaringBridge. It was horrific. She eventually wrote a book about it. Any relief for people with this terrible diagnosis would be a blessing.
