Sheba Medical Center
- At Sheba Medical Center, doctors apply chemotherapy followed by bone marrow transplant to treat Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas.
- Innovative CAR T-cell therapy is available in the hospital. This is a type of immunotherapy which helps the immune system to detect cancer cells and destroy them. The patient’s T-cells are collected and genetically transformed in the lab. Then they are injected to the patient’s body and start growing to attack cancer.
- The Bone Marrow Department accepts over 4,500 patients each year.
- Doctors carry out autologous (patient’s own stem cells) and allogeneic (from related/unrelated donor) bone marrow transplants for lymphoma and other hematologic malignancies.
- Professor Arnon Nagler, a leading hematologist-oncologist with more than 25 years of experience heads the Hematology and Bone Marrow Departments at Sheba. Prof. Nagler provides CAR T-cell therapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplants (autologous and allogeneic) for lymphoma patients.
- Over 2,000 bone marrow transplants are performed at Sheba annually.
