CAR-T cell therapy is a type of treatment used for some types of lymphoma that have either not responded to treatment or where the lymphoma has come back (relapsed) after standard treatment. CAR-T cell therapy uses an individual’s own immune system cells – T-cells – which are modified to target and destroy cancerous lymphoma cells.

CAR-T cell therapy is relatively new type of treatment and is available in a limited number of hospitals in the UK. It is quite intensive and so is not suitable for everyone, and requires a stay in hospital so that the individual can be closely monitored.

Aims of the webinar
  • To help individuals with lymphoma who may be eligible for CAR-T cell therapy understand what this treatment is and how it works.
  • To help individuals with lymphoma who may be eligible for CAR-T cell therapy understand what the process of having this treatment is and its practical, physical and emotional aspects.
  • To help family and friends to understand the impact of this treatment and recovery on an individual, and how they can support them.

We are inviting 3 speakers – a Consultant, and Clinical Nurse Specialist and an individual with a lived experience of CAR-T cell therapy to talk with our Lymphoma Action host – Anne Hook
