Retired veterinarian is first patient treated with new cell engineering platform at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center

MyVUMC PhotoRhea Dodd is the first patient treated with an experimental cancer vaccine derived from a completely new cell engineering platform. The retired veterinarian, triathlete and climber traveled from her home in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center (VICC), where on Jan. 29 she received an infusion of her own immune cells reprogrammed with tumor antigens and designed to elicit an immune response to an HPV-related cancer.
