    Can a Novel Approach Lead to Less-Toxic Treatments for Leukemia?
    Children's Hospital Los Angeles

    Traditional cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation can come with collateral damage. In the process of killing cancer, the treatments harm normal cells, too, leading to both short- and long-term side effects. Even today’s targeted drugs and immunotherapy can have effects on normal tissues.
