CAR-T CELL THERAPY IN INDIA
CAR-T cell therapy in India
CAR-T cell therapy reprograms your own immune cells to attack certain blood cancers. India now has its own approved CAR-T therapy, which has made it more accessible. We arrange a review of your reports by haematology teams in Delhi NCR.
Medical recommendations come from your qualified treating clinicians.
How CAR-T works
Your T cells are collected from the blood, genetically modified in a laboratory to recognise the cancer, multiplied and infused back into you. It is used mainly for certain B-cell lymphomas and leukaemias that have come back or not responded to standard treatment.
- Assessment and tests
- T-cell collection (apheresis)
- Manufacturing, usually a few weeks, often with bridging treatment
- Short chemotherapy, then the CAR-T infusion
- Close monitoring for side effects such as cytokine release syndrome
What decides suitability and cost
The haematology team decides whether CAR-T suits you. The main factors are:
- Your cancer type and previous treatment
- Your general health and organ function
- Which CAR-T product is used
- Days in hospital and intensive care if side effects occur
What an estimate usually covers
Ask whether the estimate includes assessment, cell collection, the CAR-T product, the infusion admission and monitoring. Treatment of side effects can add to the cost.
How long to plan for in India
Plan for about one to two months: assessment, cell collection, manufacturing, infusion and at least the first weeks of monitoring near the hospital.
Choosing a CAR-T centre
Choose a centre with a bone marrow transplant unit and experience managing CAR-T side effects.
