PATIENT STORY
Nathaniel Lam was stunned when he was diagnosed with testicular cancer at 26 years old. “My first thought was why is it happening to me?,” he said. Then, he shifted his perspective.
“For me, it was accepting that it has happened and what I can do to fight and defeat it. I’m so grateful for the entire medical team plus my friends and family that were always there for me.”
Nathaniel is now a survivor and is back to his active lifestyle. He encourages others his age to stay on top of their regular checkups, and is passionate about advocacy.

SU2C SCIENCE
The St. Baldrick’s Foundation-SU2C Pediatric Cancer Dream Team conducted clinical trials utilizing a cell-based immunotherapy called CAR-T therapy for children and young adults with a type of blood cancer, leading to the first CAR-T therapy approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Thanks to this initial FDA approval, CAR-T therapies – which are less toxic than standard treatments – are now used widely for a number of cancers.
