SUMMARY:Film Screening and Panel Discussion: N of 1
DESCRIPTION:Sometimes\, in medicine\, innovation can come from unexpected sources. N of 1 follows a striking mix of characters on an international journey to save the life of Kayte\, a 26-year-old from Alabama\, whose doctors had run out of options for treating her rare\, highly lethal liver cancer. Via a Facebook group for the few people in the world sharing her diagnosis\, Kayte connects with Howard\, a Canadian electronics businessman with no medical training\, who has doubled in his spare time as a patient advocate\, often scouring medical journals to understand cancer better to help patients like her. Howard recruits for Kayte a pioneering immunologist from Israel and renowned transplant surgeon from England to travel to India\, where Kayte will undergo a first-of-its-kind procedure to save her life\, and possibly dramatically advance traditional cancer treatment as we know it. This experimental treatment\, a partial bone marrow transplant followed by a live liver transplant\, may have pushed the regulatory boundaries of evidence-based medicine. But when you're an N of 1   a singular patient\, dying from a very rare and little researched disease   in the words of Kayte\, to get to a cure\, "someone has to be the first to say 'I'll try it.'"
