030 CAR-T Therapy Explained: A Personalised Treatment for Myeloma

Описание: In this episode Doctors Jam & Sally explain CAR-T cell therapy for myeloma - how it works, what the treatment journey looks like, the potential side effects, and why it offers hope for longer treatment-free time.



📌Key Takeaways:




• Your own immune cells can be re-engineered to find and destroy myeloma - a truly personalised treatment.


• After CAR-T, many patients can have months or years off regular therapy.


• It’s powerful and promising - but not everyone can access it yet, and it doesn’t work for all patients.
