Cell therapy involves using healthy cells to replace or repair damaged cells in the body, enhancing the body’s natural ability to heal itself.
It works by enhancing the immune system or directly targeting cancer cells to destroy them, providing a more natural approach to cancer care.
Cell therapy is effective for various cancers, including leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and some solid tumors.
Yes, cell therapy is generally considered safe, especially when using the patient’s own cells. It reduces the risk of rejection and minimizes side effects.
It targets only the diseased cells, has fewer side effects, promotes tissue repair, and often provides long-lasting results.
The processed cells are typically infused intravenously in a procedure similar to a blood transfusion.
The procedure is generally outpatient, involving cell infusion that may take a few hours, followed by observation.
Side effects are usually mild and may include fever, fatigue, or temporary discomfort at the infusion site.
The time to see results can vary, but patients may begin to see improvements within weeks to months, depending on the condition.
Yes, cell therapy can be used alongside conventional treatments like chemotherapy or radiation for a comprehensive approach.
Patients who are not responding to conventional treatments or those seeking a natural approach to cancer care may be good candidates.
Recovery is generally smooth with minimal downtime. Patients can usually resume normal activities within a few days.
Yes, ongoing clinical trials are exploring new applications and improvements in cell therapy for various cancers.
Regular follow-ups and monitoring will help assess the effectiveness of the therapy based on symptom relief and medical imaging or tests.
