Transcript:

Hello, my name is Eduardo Rego. I work for the University of São Paulo in Brazil. There [are] many important talks [at SOHO 2024], but my area of interest [is] mainly acute leukemias. I'm eager to hear about the incorporation of different immunological approaches in the treatment of acute leukemias.

This [type of treatment] has been going on for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) for some time, but now we have some results also about acute myeloid leukemia. I'm very interested to know what hurdles are still in order to implement this strategy for a broader number of patients.
