Singapore doctors develop new cell therapy that saved patients from treatment-resistant cancer.
Sixteen patients went into complete remission within a month of the treatment.
They previously had a less than 10 per cent chance of survival as the cancer did not respond to chemotherapy and other treatments.
The new therapy uses CAR T-cells, which are a type of immune cell that has been genetically modified to attack cancer cells.
Doctors at St Gallen told Maria Schreierer’s parents that her chances of survival were less than 5% .
But one doctor, Dr Jeannette Greiner , refused to give up hope and approached Prof Allen Yeoh in Singapore for help.
When the parents heard of the new treatment, they made an immediate decision to bring Maria to Singapore .
They arrived in December 2022 for the experimental treatment and stayed for four months .
