Anyone knows about this emerging technology ? It talks about ALL and CLL.
Do you think CML patients may also get benefited ?
I have been watching this on CNN ..it is just amazing

There is quite a bit of background in this article from 2012: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/10/health/a-breakthrough-against-leukemia...

Note that there were hefty side effects though and one young patient almost died from them.
