from your blood.

Receptor) will be added to these T cells in a special laboratory —
This helps the T cells to recognize and attack cancer cells.

body through an IV.

About the clinic
CAR T-cell therapy at Istanbul Florence Nightingale Hospital in Turkey may cost around $200,000 for the complete package. This advanced treatment targets hematological malignancies like multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The JCI-accredited facility offers this therapy at significantly lower costs than US or EU hospitals, led by hematology expert Prof. Ömür Gökmen Sevindik with 14 years of experience.
About the Treatment
CAR T-cell therapy reprograms a patient's immune cells to fight cancer. The process involves collecting T-cells, modifying them in a lab, growing millions of copies, then reinfusing them. Patients stay hospitalized for 28 days with continuous monitoring. The hospital manages potential side effects like cytokine reactions.
