'CAR T will provide so much relief for future patients,' said Gary Carriere, a 64-year-old cancer patient and resident of Cumberland House.
Known as CAR T Therapy – Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell, the treatment is a departure from more traditional forms of cancer therapy, according to Dr. Mark Bosch, a hematologist with the Saskatchewan Cancer Agency.We deliver the local news you need in these turbulent times on weekdays at 3 p.m.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.
The human immune system is designed to fight cancer, but cancer often “out-smarts” the immune system, Bosch said. CAR T gives the immune system more of a fighting chance by boosting the cells that fight cancer. “Sometime after getting my CAR T done, the doctor told me I was knocking on death’s door more than once,” Carriere said. He described himself as a “shrinking” man, having lost 52 kg due to his illness. In the aftermath of his treatment, he quickly gained 18.6 kg back, he said.
