Advanced CAR-T Cell & Molecular Therapies

Revolutionary Treatments for Targeted Cancer Therapy

What are CAR-T Cell & Molecular Therapies?

CAR-T cell therapy and molecular therapies are cutting-edge cancer treatments that utilize the body’s immune system and genetic targeting to fight cancer. CAR-T therapy modifies a patient’s T cells to recognize and destroy cancer cells, while molecular therapies use specialized drugs to block cancer-related mutations and disrupt tumor growth at the genetic level.

Why are CAR-T & Molecular Therapies Used?

These advanced therapies are highly effective for cancers that do not respond to conventional treatments like chemotherapy or radiation. Their precision and personalized approach improve treatment outcomes while minimizing damage to healthy cells.

Benefits of CAR-T & Molecular Therapies

  • Highly Targeted – Attacks only cancerous cells, reducing side effects.
  • Long-Lasting Immunity – CAR-T therapy provides a durable response that can persist for years.
  • Personalized Treatment – Tailored to a patient’s genetic and molecular profile.
  • Effective in Resistant Cancers – Works when chemotherapy or radiation therapy fails.

Types of Advanced Therapies

1. CAR-T Cell Therapy

  • T cells are extracted, genetically modified, and reinfused into the patient’s body.
  • The modified T cells recognize and attack cancer cells.
  • Commonly used for blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma.

2. Molecular Targeted Therapy

  • Uses drugs to block cancer-specific molecules or genetic mutations.
  • Effective for lung, breast, colorectal, and other solid tumors. 
  • Helps stop tumor growth and prevent cancer spread.

3. Gene Therapy & Immunotherapy

  • Gene modification enhances the immune system’s ability to fight cancer.
  • Immunotherapy drugs help the immune system recognize and destroy tumors.
  • Works well for melanoma, lung cancer, and lymphoma.

Procedure & Administration

  • Step 1: Blood is drawn for T-cell extraction (for CAR-T therapy).
  • Step 2: Cells are genetically modified in a lab or targeted therapy drugs are prescribed.
  • Step 3: The therapy is administered under strict medical supervision to monitor the body’s response.

Potential Risks & Considerations

  • CAR-T Therapy: May cause immune overactivation, leading to cytokine release syndrome (CRS).
  • Molecular Therapy: Side effects vary based on the drug type but may include skin rash, fatigue, or liver issues.
  • Close Monitoring: Patients undergoing these therapies require frequent follow-ups for safety and effectiveness.

Do’s & Don’ts during treatments

Do’s

  • Keep yourself hydrated
  • Maintain proper hygiene
  • Apply sunscreen while going out

Don’ts

  • Avoid large meals
  • Avoid those who are contagious or have any infections.
  • Avoid eating raw or undercooked food.

FAQ’s

Who can benefit from CAR-T therapy?

Patients with blood cancers like leukemia, lymphoma, or multiple myeloma that do not respond to standard treatments.

Unlike chemotherapy, which kills all fast-dividing cells, molecular therapy targets specific cancer-related mutations, reducing side effects.

CAR-T therapy is currently available at specialized centers like ICTC, and molecular therapies are prescribed based on genetic testing results.
