Precision Medicine for CAR T-Cell Care

If you have certain types of cancer, such as lymphoma or leukemia, but are no longer responding to traditional treatment, you may be a candidate for chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, also known as CAR T-cell therapy.

CAR T-cell therapy uses immune cells from your body to target cancer cells. During treatment, our cancer experts collect your white blood cells and alter them so that they can better identify cancer cells. The altered cells are infused back into your bloodstream, where they can help destroy cancer cells. Chemotherapy may be used in combination with CAR T-cell treatment.

We offer CAR T-cell therapies such as:

  • Axicabtagene ciloleucel (Yescarta) — For follicular lymphoma and large B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
  • Brexucabtagene autoleucel (Tecartus) — For adults with mantle cell lymphoma and acute lymphoblastic leukemia
