CAR T-Cell therapy
“This is really a new era in cancer medicine. It is very exciting. We’re finding that we can manipulate the immune system to do a lot of the work.”
- Stephanie Williams, MD, division chief, adult blood and marrow transplant program, Spectrum Health Cancer Center
This breakthrough in the fight against cancer uses your own white blood cells to seek out and destroy cancer cells. It’s called CAR T-cell therapy, an FDA-approved immunotherapy for adults with certain types of blood cancers that have not responded to traditional cancer treatments.
Spectrum Health is one of the select medical centers in the United States to lead this treatment and based on promising – and, in some cases, remarkable – results. We are the only Cancer Center in the region to offer CAR T-cell therapy for patients with refractory or relapsed leukemia or lymphoma.
We’re proud to offer eligible patients leading-edge, responsive and personalized treatment that’s close to home.
