Why Choose ACIBADEM For
CAR T-Cell Therapy ?

CAR T-cell therapy is a new type of cancer treatment using immune cells to attack tumors. Acibadem is first in Turkiye and the region to apply the new treatment. This therapy uses the body’s immune system to fight cancer. It changes T-cells to better find and kill cancer cells. This makes the treatment more effective. The special receptor on the T-cells is made from an antibody and a T-cell. It lets the T-cells find specific cancer cells. This helps them know the difference between healthy and cancerous cells.

CAR T-cell therapy is a new hope for people with blood cancers. It uses the body’s immune system to fight cancer. This is a big change from old treatments. This therapy starts with a patient’s T-cells. They are then changed to find and kill cancer cells. It’s a way to boost the immune system to fight cancer better. As scientists learn more, CAR T-cell therapy could change cancer treatment a lot. It gives hope to patients and their families. This article will explain how it works and its benefits.

After the T-cells are changed, they are grown in the lab. This makes a lot of cells ready to fight cancer. Then, these cells are given back to the patient. The CAR T-cells look for cancer cells in the body. When they find one, they bind to it. This starts a process that kills the cancer cell. This therapy can also protect against cancer coming back. Some CAR T-cells stay in the body for a long time. They keep watching for and killing any cancer cells that might come back.

The field of oncology has made big strides, thanks to CAR T-cell therapy. This new way to fight cancer, mainly hematologic malignancies, comes from years of research and discoveries.

CAR T-Cell Treatment Process

The adoptive cell transfer process of CAR T-cell therapy is complex. It uses a patient’s immune system to fight cancer. Each step is vital for the treatment’s success.

Patient Selection and Preparation
Patients are carefully checked to see if they can get CAR T-cell therapy. They go through medical history checks, physical exams, and tests. If they're a good match, their blood is taken to get T-cells for gene therapy.
Manufacturing CAR T-Cells
The T-cells are then taken to a lab for genetic changes. A safe virus is used to add chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) to the T-cells. These CARs help the T-cells find and attack cancer cells. The T-cells are grown in the lab to make a strong team against cancer.
Infusion and Monitoring
Before the CAR T-cells are given back to the patient, they get some chemotherapy. This helps the T-cells work better. The T-cells then go after cancer cells. Patients are watched closely for a few weeks to see how they're doing and handle any side effects.

CAR T-Cell Therapy Success Stories

CAR T-cell therapy has brought hope to many patients with cancer. It uses the patient’s immune system to fight cancer. This makes it a targeted and personalized medicine approach.

Emily Whitehead, a young girl, was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia at six. She tried many treatments but nothing worked. Then, CAR T-cell therapy was her last hope. It worked amazingly well, and she’s been cancer-free for over a decade.

Doug Olson was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia in 1996. He tried many treatments but nothing helped. In 2010, he joined a CAR T-cell therapy trial. It put his cancer into remission and kept it away for over a decade. Doug is now cancer-free and supports this treatment.

These stories show how CAR T-cell therapy has changed lives. As research improves, we’ll hear more stories of hope and victory over cancer.

Fequently Asked Questions

What is CAR T-cell therapy?
CAR T-cell therapy is a new way to fight cancer. It uses your own immune system to attack cancer cells. This treatment is made by changing your T-cells to target cancer, making it a personalized fight against cancer.
First, your T-cells are taken and changed to find and kill cancer cells. Then, these modified T-cells are put back into your body. They can then find and destroy cancer cells, helping to fight the disease.
Right now, CAR T-cell therapy mainly helps with blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma. But scientists are also looking into using it for solid tumors. This could open up new ways to treat cancer.
CAR T-cell therapy is better than old treatments like chemo and radiation. It only attacks cancer cells, not healthy ones. This means fewer side effects. It also has a chance to cure some cancers, giving patients hope.
Side effects include cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and brain problems. CRS can make you feel very sick and have trouble breathing. Brain problems might cause confusion or trouble speaking. But, doctors can help manage these issues.
CAR T-cell therapy is only available at a few places. It's new, so it's not everywhere yet. Insurance coverage varies, but many plans now cover it. There are also programs to help with the cost.
