Catherine Cheng and Roy Dreyfuss having a conversation while sitting in a hospital room.

Roy Dreyfuss received CAR T-cell therapy for Hodgkin lymphoma as part of a clinical trial in 2016. This was more than a year before the FDA approved this treatment for other blood cancers; Dreyfuss became the first patient to receive CAR T-cell therapy at UNC Health.

UNC Lineberger’s Pengda Liu, PhD, and Benjamin Vincent, MD, were selected as Yang Family Biomedical Scholars in the eighth installment of this annual School of Medicine award.

UNC Lineberger's annual scientific retreat brought together faculty, staff and trainees to learn about the latest research at the cancer center.

A genomic study of more than 200 people with the most common type of bladder cancer that has spread could help guide how the cancer would respond to immunotherapy.

UNC Lineberger researchers have found a possible way to overcome barriers that block anti-cancer immune responses. Their findings could have implications for treating solid tumors, including breast and pancreatic cancer.

UNC Lineberger’s Yuliya Pylayeva-Gupta, PhD, was the corresponding author of a paper published in Cell Reports Medicine that examined how B cells might be reprogrammed to improve anti-tumor immune response in pancreatic cancer. The study was led by a former research associate, Rahul Mirlekar.

After seeing friends and family members struggle with cancer and tired of feeling helpless, Betsy Jordan decided to do something about it by making a gift to support innovative research.

Chad Pecot, MD, and colleagues used biospecimens from a patient just after he succumbed to lung cancer to unravel how a KRAS mutation developed resistance to a treatment that had initially proved effective.

Susan G. Komen has awarded three grants in support of metastatic breast cancer research as part of a collaboration between Komen, UNC Lineberger and Duke Cancer Institute, called the Susan G. Komen Metastatic Breast Cancer Collaborative Research Initiative.
