Of course — here is a polished English translationLeipzig, 15 November 2025 – During the Cancer Information Day hosted by Leipzig University Hospital, the SaxoCell Cluster presented its own Patient Day and attracted great interest. Numerous visitors took the opportunity to learn more at the SaxoCell booth about new therapy approaches developed in Saxony, which are already benefiting patients with blood cancer today.
Serving as key points of contact, Nicole Modler and Stefanie Binder from SaxoCellutions – the coordination hub of SaxoCell – engaged in many in-depth conversations, answered questions, and provided insights into current developments in cell and gene therapy. The strong engagement from attendees highlighted how essential clear and accessible information about modern treatment options is.
An emotional highlight of the day was a reading by author and former UKL cancer patient Stefan Schwarz from his book “Bis ins Mark” (“To the Core”). With humor, honesty, and heartfelt sincerity, he shared his experiences during treatment – a contribution that moved and encouraged the audience in equal measure.
Scientifically, the event was enriched by two impressive lectures from Leipzig University Hospital: Prof. Ulrich Hacker gave an easy-to-understand overview of personalized cancer medicine, while PD Dr. Vladan Vucinic presented the latest advances in innovative cell therapies as well as current progress within the SaxoCell Cluster.
The consistently well-attended sessions and lively discussions demonstrated both the high demand for information and the trust patients place in advanced therapeutic approaches.
SaxoCell extends its thanks to the University Cancer Center Leipzig (UCCL) and the event management team of UKL for their excellent organization and collaborative partnership in making this valuable Patient Day possible.
