CAR-T (Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell) therapy for the first time at Marengo CIMS Hospital, Ahmedabad, marks a major milestone in advanced cancer care. This heralds a new chapter in the journey of this hospital to provide next-generation, personalized cancer treatment in India.
CAR-T is one of the most advanced and innovative treatments targeting certain types of blood cancers, including B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and specific lymphomas. It involves collecting a patient's T-cells (a type of immune cell) and uses genetic engineering to reprogram them, so they can recognize and attack cancer cells. Treatment with CAR-T offers renewed hope for patients who often have a higher chance of going into remission after other conventional treatments like chemotherapy and bone marrow transplant have failed and relapse occurs.
Till recently, CAR-T therapy was available only in some select global centers and at an extremely high cost, beyond the reach of most patients. With this successful treatment, Marengo CIMS Hospital has made this advanced therapy more affordable and accessible to patients throughout Gujarat and India.
The treatment was performed under the guidance of **Dr. Kaumil Patel**, Consultant Hematologist, Hemato-Oncologist, and BMT Physician, supported by **Dr. Bhavesh Parekh**, Head of Medical Oncology, and a skilled multidisciplinary team of doctors. Coordinated effort by the departments of hematology, oncology, and critical care assured precision, safety, and success in each step of the procedure.
CAR-T therapy represents a paradigm shift in the treatment of cancer, whereby the human immune system itself fights cancer. This treatment is highly targeted and hence succeeds in achieving results in many cases where other treatments have failed. The introduction of this treatment places the Marengo CIMS Hospital among a few medical centers in India where such sophisticated and personalized care is available.
This further testifies to the hospital's strong penchant for research, innovation, and patient-oriented care. At CIMS Marengo, clinical excellence is merged with the latest technology to further bridge the gap between innovation and accessibility.
With the launch of CAR-T cell therapy, Marengo CIMS Hospital reaffirms its position as a regional leader in comprehensive cancer care, committed to delivering global standards of treatment with compassion, affordability, and excellence.
