Dr. John H. Sampson discusses rindopepimut elimiting brain tumor cells that express the epidermal growth factor receptor mutation variant III (EGFRvIII).
John H. Sampson, MD, PhD, MBA, MHSc, chief, Division of Neurosurgery, Duke University Medical Center, discusses rindopepimut eliminating brain tumor cells that express the epidermal growth factor receptor mutation variant III (EGFRvIII).
