What is Cell Therapy?
Cell therapy involves the use of living cells to treat diseases, including cancer. The cells used in therapy can either be autologous (taken from the patient) or allogenic (taken from a donor). These cells are introduced into the body to either fight cancer directly or help regenerate damaged tissue caused by cancer treatments.
How Cell Therapy Works to Treat Cancer
In cancer treatment, Cell Therapy uses immune cells, like T-cells, natural killer (NK) cells, or dendritic cells, to target and destroy cancer cells. Stem cell therapy can also help regenerate tissue that might have been damaged by cancer treatment such as chemotherapy or radiation.
One of the most well-known types of Cell Therapy is CAR-T cell therapy, which involves modifying a patient's T-cells to better fight cancer cells. This therapy is particularly effective for blood cancers such as leukaemia and lymphoma.
