CAR-T Therapy
About This Treatment
Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell therapy, also called CAR-T therapy, is an advanced cellular therapy which harnesses the body's immune system to fight cancer. CAR-T therapy modifies a patient's T-cells to target and destroy cancer cells, offering a cutting-edge approach to personalized cancer care.
The Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders is proud to be one of the first community physician practices in Texas to deliver a CAR-T therapy outside a hospital or academic center. As one of the first independent practices to deliver this innovative therapy outside of a hospital in Texas, The Center's program marks a milestone in expanding patient access to cutting-edge care in cancer centers close to where patients live. Our medical oncology team was the first in Tarrant County to treat a patient with CAR-T therapy for aggressive lymphoma.
The Center's CAR-T care delivery model allows for seamless monitoring and care coordination between the Center's physician-based clinic and local hospitals, ensuring patient safety and improving treatment outcomes.
