Immune Effector Cell Therapy in Hematologic Malignancies: Lessons Learned

The fields of bone marrow transplantation and malignant hematology have been transformed in recent years. In this Grand Rounds, we will explore novel therapies, such as the use of immune effector cells in hematological malignancies. We will discuss the rationale behind these treatments and practical clinical pearls in the management of patients with hematologic malignancies.
