Fighting Side Effects of Chemotherapy for Lung Cancer
Chemotherapy can impact the bone marrow, and thus kill some of our good cells in the bone marrow, like the white blood cells and the red blood cells. This new treatment is really exciting in that it actually allows us to protect those cells from being harmed, before chemotherapy is given.

Promising news for patients, this approach is being studied in clinical trials for other cancers as well.
