Bispecific T-Cell Engager Therapy (BiTE Therapy)
About This Treatment
Bispecific T-cell engager therapy, also called BiTE therapy, is an innovative form of immunotherapy that helps the body identify and destroy cancer cells. BiTE therapies work by bringing a patient’s T-cells into direct contact with cancer cells so the immune system can attack them more effectively. This treatment is most often used for certain blood cancers such as lymphoma and leukemia, particularly when the disease is aggressive or has not responded to standard therapies.
The Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders is proud to be the first provider of BiTE therapy in Tarrant County. Our medical oncology team was the first in the county to treat a patient with BiTE therapy for aggressive lymphoma, representing one of the newest and most promising treatment options available for patients with advanced blood cancers. Our leadership in bringing forward advanced therapies reflects our ongoing commitment to innovation, expertise, and exceptional patient care.
BiTE therapy is delivered through an infusion with close monitoring by oncology-trained nurses and physicians. Your care team will determine the treatment schedule and support you through each step, managing side effects and assessing your response to ensure the therapy remains safe and effective.
