Intermountain Health first in nation to expand stem cell collection for CAR-T Cell Therapy bringing innovative cancer procedure to Southern Utah
ST. GEORGE, Utah (ABC4 Utah) – Intermountain Health is now offering a national first-of-its kind expansion of CAR-T Cell Therapy, bringing cutting-edge cancer care closer to patients in Southern Utah and Nevada. Intermountain's new CAR-T Cell satellite clinic in St. George marks a significant milestone to improve access to FDA approved CAR T-cell therapies at a regional clinic – and is the first time in the United States that CAR T-Cell collections are now available at a remote site away from a primary treatment center. Before expanding the CAR T-Cell therapy program, patients in southwest Utah, Nevada and beyond, had to travel hundreds of miles to Intermountain LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City for collection, transplant, and follow-up care. This innovative expansion of stem cell collection and CAR T-cell collection procedures at the Intermountain Health St. George Cancer Center provides advanced cancer treatment options closer to home for patients in the region. 'Expanding CAR-T Cell Therapy to Intermountain St. George Regional Hospital is a testament to our commitment to providing accessible, state-of-the-art cancer treatment,' said Brad Hunter, MD, medical oncologist and director of the CAR T-cell program at Intermountain LDS Hospital. 'This clinic will significantly enhance the quality of care for patients in Southern Utah and beyond our state boarders, offering them hope and healing without the need to travel long distances.' CAR-T Cell Therapy is a form of immunotherapy that harnesses the power of a patient's own immune system to fight cancer by genetically reprogramming T-cells to target and destroy cancer cells. 'This therapy has shown remarkable success in treating certain types of leukemia and non-Hodgkin lymphoma and we're grateful for the chance to make it more accessible,' said Dr. Hunter. This process is customized to each individual oncology patient and involves collecting the patient's immune cells or T cells, which are then sent to a different location and re-engineered. About two to three weeks later the patient will travel to Intermountain LDS Hospital for the re-programmed cells to be transplanted back to the patient. The new cells then target and kill the cancer cells by binding to the specific proteins or antigens on the cancer cells. The patient is observed to confirm the treatment is working and then sent home, with follow up appoints close to home. Jacqueline, 68, from Las Vegas, Nevada, received CAR-T therapy for her Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma last year at Intermountain LDS Hospital and says it saved her life. 'It was really miraculous,' said Jacqueline. 'I could see the back of my throat and see the lymph nodes, so swelled up and then within two weeks of the treatment, suddenly, they were just gone. They even scanned me and everything was gone.' Jacqueline and her husband had to travel to Salt Lake numerous times and stay for a month, they say the new Intermountain Health St. George CAR-T Cell satellite clinic will save some miles and will be nice for future cancer patients to have treatment, 'just down the street.' CAR T-Cell therapy is currently FDA approved for patients who have a variety of hematologic cancers, including acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), B-cell lymphomas, and multiple myeloma.

Down with the King: Our film critic discusses his lifelong Stephen King fandom
Still from 'The Life of Chuck.' NEON There have been so many movies made from King's work, yet filmmakers haven't scratched the surface of his prolific oeuvre. Even with the numerous miniseries and television movies, there always seems to be more King to consider. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Even King himself has taken a crack at adapting his work, something most authors shouldn't do. See his directorial debut, 'Maximum Overdrive' for a great example as to why. Anyway, King's screenplay for Mary Lambert's 1989 version of 'Pet Sematary' was pretty good, though the film was far less disturbing than what I'd consider his darkest book (and one of his best). As an added bonus, the movie gave us that awesomely absurd Ramones song. Advertisement King's most recent screenplay was for 2016's 'Cell,' an adaptation of the 2006 horror novel set right here in Boston. The movie was the second pairing of Samuel L. Jackson and John Cusack in a King story, after the superb '1408.' Fans of the novel were really mad about the movie's changes, but My affectionate reaction surprised me, as the book served as my reunion with King — I'd given up on him after several disappointments — so it holds a place in my heart. That uber-violent Boston Common opener won me over big time. I've read everything he's written since. Stephen King Photo by Alex Gotfryd/CORBIS via Getty Images While we're on the topic of books, some of my favorite novels include 'Night Shift,' 'The Stand,' 'The Eyes of the Dragon,' 'Different Seasons,' 'Pet Sematary,' and a few others I'll get to shortly. On the flipside, he hasn't written a book worse than 'It.' Here's a list of 10 movie favorites. You should know by now that 'The Shining' isn't going to be here. 'Misery' (1990) My favorite King book of all time became one of the best adaptations of his work. One of the best books about the art of writing and the evil of fandom becomes a showcase for Advertisement Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie in the 1976 film "Carrie." Photo by FilmPublicityArchive/United Archives via Getty Images/FilmPublicityArchive/United Archives via Getty Images 'Carrie' (1976) Back when I was too young for R-rated movies, my two older cousins would act them out for us after they saw them. This was one of the movies they 'performed.' They were surprisingly thorough — their version of the PG-rated 'Mommie Dearest' deserved Oscars. When my aunt took me to see 'Carrie,' I pretty much knew the entire movie. And I still jumped at the end! I've never heard an audience scream louder in my entire movie-going career. My favorite De Palma, easily. 'Cat's Eye' (1985) and 'Creepshow' (1982) King wrote the screenplays for these short story-based movies that were directed by two of the best helmers of his work, Lewis Teague and George Romero. Romero tackled the better of the two, the gory and fun tribute to EC Comics that gave Ed Harris one of his first roles and had Ted Danson murdered by Leslie Nielsen. That particular tale disturbed me so much that I was almost sorry I snuck into that R-rated movie. Note I said 'almost.' Teague directed Drew Barrymore's second run-in with King (after 1983's 'Firestarter' — sue me, I like that one, too). Tied together by a cute cat, the film gives a shout out to 'Night Shift' by using two of its stories, 'Quitters, Inc' and 'The Ledge.' It's rather brutal at times for animal lovers, but the cat not only survives, it takes its revenge. For a far nastier tale of King kitty cat revenge, try 'Tales from the Darkside: The Movie.' 'Cujo' (1983) Teague also directed this tense, suspenseful adaptation of King's novel about a rabid killer St. Bernard. Dee Wallace and Danny Pintauro are trapped in a car while the rabid dog goes on a tear. Scared the hell out of me as a 13-year old — and I'd read the book! Thankfully, the movie changes King's ending. Advertisement 'Christine' (1985) You can make an argument that this is lesser John Carpenter, but you can't deny it's a damn gorgeous looking piece of widescreen filmmaking. Plus. the titular killer Plymouth Fury is really, really cool. It gets set on fire and still manages to run over its victim. Wil Wheaton, Corey Feldman, River Phoenix, and Jerry O'Connell in the 1986 film "Stand by Me," directed by Rob Reiner. Columbia Pictures 'Stand by Me' (1986) and 'The Shawshank Redemption' (1994) 'Different Seasons,' the four novella book King wrote in 1982, produced two of the top five cinematic adaptations of his work. These two have a companion piece in 'The Life of Chuck,' as they're also not horror films. Before Rob Reiner met Annie Wilkes, he directed this bittersweet, controversially profane tale of four boys who take a trip to see a dead body. All four actors — Jerry O'Connell, Wil Wheaton, Corey Feldman, and the late River Phoenix — give excellent performances, and I haven't met a guy yet who didn't identify with one of their characters. (I'm a combination of Wheaton's King stand-in and Feldman's brutalized kid.) Before he directed his almost-as-good take on 'The Mist,' Frank Darabont made the Tim Robbins-Morgan Freeman prison movie that keeps topping the rankings at IMDb. Not bad for a movie that originally flopped at the box office. Freeman should have won that Oscar. Christopher Walken in 'The Dead Zone.'' Paramount Pictures 'The Dead Zone' (1983) My favorite David Cronenberg film gets dismissed by his fans as a mere work for hire, but he gets a career-best performance out of Christopher Walken. Better than any actor, Walken nails the heartbreak of so many King characters possessed with a power they do not want. It's also a perfect movie to watch in today's political climate. Though it's Cronenberg's tamest movie, he still reminds us he's the king of body horror. Those scissors — shudder!! Advertisement 'The Dark Half' (1993) Romero directed Timothy Hutton in a dual role in this adaptation of one of my favorite King books. Both book and movie require a large suspension of disbelief, but once again, King traverses the mind of a writer with fascinating results. Inspired by his Richard Bachman revelation, King gives Romero plenty of gory mayhem to put onscreen. I didn't think the director could pull off the novel's most disgusting moments, but he does. He even outdoes Hitchcock in the murderous birds department. Odie Henderson is the Boston Globe's film critic.
