At Aster MIMS Calicut, we offer cutting-edge CAR-T Cell Therapy. This revolutionary cancer treatment harnesses the power of your body's immune system to target and destroy cancer cells. Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy involves modifying a patient’s T-cells to express a receptor that recognises and attacks cancer cells more effectively. This treatment is particularly effective in certain blood cancers, such as leukaemia and lymphoma.
Our multidisciplinary team of haematologists, oncologists, and skilled medical staff work together to provide personalized care and support throughout the CAR-T treatment journey. By integrating advanced technology with compassionate care, Aster MIMS Calicut is proud to be at the forefront of innovative cancer treatments, offering hope for patients with conditions that were once difficult to treat. Consult with our experts today to discover more about CAR-T cell therapy and how it can transform your cancer treatment plan.
1. What is CAR-T Cell Therapy?
CAR-T Cell Therapy is an innovative treatment that involves modifying a patient’s T-cells (a type of white blood cell) to target cancer cells. These modified cells are infused back into the body to recognize and destroy cancer.
2. What cancers can CAR-T Therapy treat?
CAR-T Cell Therapy is primarily used to treat certain types of blood cancers, including leukaemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. It may also be considered for other cancers in certain cases.
3. How does CAR-T Therapy work?
T-cells are collected from the patient's blood, modified in a lab to recognize specific cancer markers, and then re-infused back into the patient’s body. The modified cells then target and attack cancer cells.
4. Who is eligible for CAR-T Cell Therapy?
Eligibility depends on various factors, including the type of cancer, previous treatments, and overall health. A thorough evaluation by our oncology team will determine if CAR-T therapy is suitable for you.
5. How long does CAR-T Therapy take?
The treatment process generally involves several stages: cell collection, modification in the lab, and re-infusion back into the patient. This process can take several weeks, followed by ongoing monitoring.
6. What are the benefits of CAR-T Cell Therapy?
CAR-T therapy offers a promising treatment option for patients with certain types of blood cancers who have not responded to traditional treatments. It can lead to long-term remission or even a cure in some cases.
