CAR T-Cell Therapy: How Does It Work?

[Rockhound]

My father-in-law was the first person to go through this trial. He has been completely cured of cancer. It's been 8 years since his first infusion and he's doing great.

My wife had lymphoma and was the 26 person to have the infusion at the Cleveland clinic this April 2024 will be 5 years. Totally cured.

I’ve battled multiple myeloma since 2014. I’m going to have this treatment soon. Thank God for miracles 🙏

[LemonJJuicy]

These cells have been inside me for 6 years already and I can say that this therapy definitely worked for me.

Tears just flow as I watch this amazing miracle. In January, I completed my chemo treatment. I am now a Cancer Survivor but am very aware of recurrences. So reassuring that if and when I do have a recurrence, there are outstanding treatments out there.

I've been battling Pancreatic Cancer, since 2020-October. The traditional FDA approved Chemotherapies of which I had 3 separate Tiers of them.
FOLFIRINOX, then Gemcitabine/Abraxane then finally Capecitabine with Radiation. I am so grateful to my Oncologist, Surgical Oncologist, Radiation Oncologist and Thoracic Surgeon. They kept me alive this far.
I will be entering a CAR T Clinical Trial in 2 weeks, as my Pancreatic Cancer has Metastasized. I pray this buys me more time on this side of heaven. I have a 1 and a half year old grandson, and I wish him to know who I am and not who I was. God willing, I'll take him fishing. 🎣

My grandpa had Non-Hodkings lymphoma and took part to this clinical trial in France. He's been on total remission for 6 months now.

Amazing cutting-edge technology. I am planning to become hematologist and I am really glad of this new approach for leukemia.

[bratwizard]

Great presentation, good graphical representation, easy to follow. Thanks!!

I'm currently an operator for this process, and I do this daily. The process I'm working on takes 7 to 10 days from fresh apheresis to frozen CAR-T cells.

Every single person that has a deadly illness should not have to pay a dime to be treated. A sick child in a poor family should get the same care as a rich family! That poor child did not ask to be poor it makes me so sad to think about that.

[gracemassala]

Simply amazing. I'm doing a CAR-T platform training at the moment and I'm loving it. Good stuff

[ianpatrick]

This is such a great explanation of CAR-T cell therapy. Thank you!

[danielmino]

why this isnt the first treatment given to person with cancer?

[tonygray]

Good and clearly explained, well illustrated. Irritating, unnecessary computer "music".

[robhansen]

I’m having this done in a few weeks
I’m kinda scared, but also hopeful

[paulMcGlothin]

Excellent, easy-to-understand presentation.

I hoped in something more specific. Basically, this is a long way of saying "we take lymphocytes and put magic receptors on them"
