Who is Dr. Schuster, Hematology / Oncology Specialist in Stony Brook, NY?
Revolutionary new treatments are now widely available for blood cancers, using the patient's own immune system to destroy cancer cells. Therapies such as bi-specific antibodies, CAR T cells and other types of antibodies conjugated with chemotherapy drugs have produced results never previously seen. Understanding the growth and signaling mechanisms inside cancer cells has also led to targeted drugs that have resulted in what we can honestly call "miraculous" treatments. I have been fortunate to be involved in clinical trials helping to bring these drugs into clinical practice and look forward to continued research in these areas.
