Max Hospital, Patparganj, introduces Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell therapy, a new and innovative treatment option for leukaemia and lymphoma, the most common types of cancer affecting white blood cells. CAR T-cell therapy targets T-cells (also known as T lymphocytes), which are an integral part of the immune system, to fight cancer.
This cutting edge treatment involves the modification and reprogramming of a patient's T-cells to recognise and attack specific cancer cells. The process begins by:
- Extracting a patient's own T-cells through a simple bedside process called leukapheresis and genetically engineering these T cells in a lab to express chimeric antigen receptors.
- The modified T-cells are cultured and multiplied to increase their numbers. Once a sufficient number of these engineered CAR T-cells is obtained, they are infused back into the patients bloodstream.
- The CAR T-cells are now equipped to recognise and target the specific cancer cells they were engineered to attack.
- Upon binding, the CAR T-cells become activated, triggering an immune response and leads to the destruction of the cancer cells.
CAR T-cell therapy is a curative treatment option for blood cancers arising from B lymphocytes such as B Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemias and B cell lymphomas especially for those who have undergone other treatment options but did not respond well to treatment or experienced relapse.
At Max Super Speciality Hospital, we are committed to providing patients with the best possible care. CAR T-cell therapy is a beacon of hope in the fight against cancer, bringing optimism and potential for better outcomes even where all currently available treatments have failed. It is a powerful tool that targets and eliminates cancer cells in a highly precise manner. For the patients who have exhausted standard treatment options, this therapy offers new hope and possibilities.
