Through our geriatrics and palliative medicine program, an interdisciplinary team of geriatricians and other specialists from Columbia and Weill Cornell Medicine work to elevate quality of life for their patients. Our services encompass geriatric primary and emergency care, a major collaboration on elder abuse and neglect, and compassionate management of end-of-life care.

Results from a new multi-center study, led by oncologists at NewYork-Presbyterian and Weill Cornell Medicine, has described for the first time a key biomarker – absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) – that has the potential to predict therapeutic response to chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell immunotherapy for patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. While this FDA-approved treatment is widely used, until now there has not been a way to predict whether B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) CAR T-cell therapy would elicit a good response.
