CAR-T Cell Therapy in Israel
CAR-T Cell Therapy in Israel Brightens the Future for Leukemia Patients
CAR-T Cell Therapy in Israel is a pioneering new treatment for leukemia, which is a cancer of the blood. Leukemia, which can cause extreme and devastating symptoms, is sadly the most frequently diagnosed cancer among children. In addition, standard therapies such as radiation and chemotherapy often fail to eradicate all types of this disease. Yet the recent appearance of a revolutionary new approach called CAR-T Cell Therapy is changing the future of leukemia treatment and giving new hope to patients.
Engineered CAR-T cells (chimeric antigen receptor T-cell) were invented originally by Prof. Zelig Eshhar from the Weizmann Institute of Science, in Rehovot, Israel. Many years later, various health facilities in the United States established the use of these CAR-T cells as a treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
In order to fund the CAR-T program for ALL in Israel, Dr. Elad Jacoby, Attending Physician at the Pediatric Hematology and Oncology Department and Investigator in Pediatric Cancer Immunotherapy at the Edmond and Lily Safra Children’s Hospital, Sheba Medical Center, trained at the National Cancer Institute in the US. His unique and comprehensive high-level training enabled the establishment of CAR-T therapy in Israel.
