An 8-year-old leukemia patient can return to school after receiving advanced CAR-T cell therapy. The therapy, developed at Seoul National University Hospital, was funded by a significant donation from the late Samsung Chairman Lee Kun-hee's family. This allowed treatment for patients not covered by insurance. The donation has enabled the hospital to treat 16 children with its homegrown CAR-T therapy, offering hope for rare childhood cancers.
