What Special Technologies Are Offered at Sheba?
CAR T-Cell Therapy
Sheba’s Hemato-Oncology Department is one of only a few medical facilities in the world to offer this revolutionary treatment for blood cancer. CAR T-cell therapy programs the patient’s own altered white blood cells to kill cancer cells. It has led to many positive outcomes, putting cancer into remission in many patients who did not respond to other treatment methods. CAR T-cell therapy is highly specialized and personalized to consider each individual’s unique needs and overall well-being.
