CAR T-Cell Therapy in India
CAR T-Cell Therapy is a revolutionary cancer treatment that empowers the patient’s own immune system to fight cancer. The procedure is effective by modifying the patient’s T-cells to express chimeric antigen receptors (CARs), allowing the immune system to identify and destroy cancer cells. CAR T-cell treatment, which was initially developed for blood cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma, is showing promising outcomes, even in patients who have not responded to traditional treatments.
India has emerged as the premier destination for CAR T-cell therapy, offering advanced treatment at significantly lower costs than Western countries, without compromising quality or outcome.
