ORLANDO, Fla. – Cancer patients at AdventHealth Cancer Institute in Orlando have access to a groundbreaking treatment that transforms their own immune cells into cancer-fighting agents, offering new hope for those with multiple myeloma.
The treatment, known as CAR-T cell therapy using Carvykti , allows patients to fight cancer using modified versions of their own immune cells. AdventHealth Cancer Institute serves as the only facility in Central Florida offering this innovative approach.
“They are putting a sensor called a receptor in these T Cells so that the T Cell can now sense cancer cells and not just the infection,” said Dr. Rushang Patel, Medical Director of Stem Cell Transplant and Cellular Therapy at AdventHealth Cancer Institute.
