[본방종합] 4기 암이 깨끗이 사라졌다? 보이지 않는 암 '혈액암' 완치로 가는 최신 치료법 총정리 I KBS 생로병사의 비밀 20260422 방송

■ The Most Common Blood Cancer, Malignant Lymphoma Ms. Noh Seon-ae (69) suddenly developed a bulging abdomen one day. At first, it was mistaken for a digestive disorder, but the test results were shocking. It turned out to be ‘Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL),’ a blood cancer that originated in the lymph nodes inside her abdomen. Malignant lymphoma is a type of cancer where symptoms often appear in organs other than the lymph nodes, making diagnosis difficult and potentially delayed. We follow the course of her treatment, which began with the standard treatment method, R-CHOP chemotherapy. ■ CAR-T Cell Therapy – Giving ‘Superpowers’ to Immune Cells Ms. Im Ok-ja (75) was diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma due to lumps in her neck and armpits. Although she achieved complete remission (no cancer cells detected) after her first round of chemotherapy, the cancer returned. The cancer cells had recurred and developed resistance to conventional anticancer drugs. Now, the only remaining option is CAR-T cell therapy, which implants antennas into immune cells to locate cancer cells, thereby granting them superpowers. We explore the field of innovative treatments that induce remission even in relapsed and refractory patients. ■ Another Battle After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation - Graft-Verifier-Host Disease Mr. Lee Tae-hwa (52) was diagnosed with leukemia after visiting a hospital with symptoms of a blood clot in his leg. He received a hematopoietic stem cell transplant from his brother, but this time, the transplanted immune cells began attacking his own body. Graft-Verifier-Host Disease. Just as he had overcome cancer, another battle had begun. Can newly emerging treatments become a source of hope against complications that destroy the quality of life? ■ Hope for Elderly Patients - Targeted Therapeutics Mr. Kim Young-jun was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia at the age of 79. His body was too old to withstand the high-intensity anticancer transplant treatment. What saved him was the targeted therapy drug 'Venetoclax,' which induces cancer cells to self-destruct. With treatment outcomes improving by more than double compared to the past, it has achieved complete remission (no cancer cells detected) in 70–80% of elderly patients. Let’s explore how to overcome blood cancer with a long-term perspective, just as he said, “You just need to deal with the given environment as it comes.” #SecretsOfLifeAndDeath #BloodCancer #CancerCells ■ Official Channel of [Secrets of Life and Death], Korea’s First Health & Medical Program ■ Please subscribe and share! ■ Main broadcast every Wednesday night at 10 PM on KBS 1TV ● Watch on KBS Homepage – http://program.kbs.co.kr/1tv/culture/...
