In this week’s episode of the CURE® Talks Cancer podcast, we chat with Dr. Tanja Gruber, the new chief of pediatric hematology, oncology and stem cell transplantation at Stanford Children’s Health, about how the field of pediatric cancer has evolved over the last decade and where the landscape is headed in the future, thanks to advances in treatments like immunotherapy.
