In September 2020, Georgia Urology’s Dr. Lambda Msezane was featured on 11 Alive’s “Atlanta & Company” daily show. She was also featured in an accompanying written piece in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC). In both, she discussed prostate cancer in African American Men and immunotherapy— a treatment option designated to help the immune system fight metastatic prostate cancer. “For immunotherapy, you can take the patient’s own white blood cells, sensitize them to prostate cancer, then reintroduce those cells to aid in fighting metastatic prostate cancer. We’re using the body’s own immune system to fight the cancer,” says Dr. Msezane for the AJC.
