Kymriah Therapy at Roger Williams Cancer Center

Roger Williams Cancer Center is the only cancer program in Rhode Island to offer an exciting therapy for the treatment of blood cancers.
Kymriah is an innovative CAR-T cell therapy for certain types of blood cancers, in which the patient’s own T cells are removed from the patient’s body, reengineered to destroy cancer cells and then returned to the patient’s body. Immunotherapy has changed the landscape of cancer therapy and CAR-T-cell therapy is the culmination of about 30 years of that research.
For eligible patients, the response rates from Kymriah therapy show 90% of patients may go into a deep remission and potentially 60% of patients can be cured. Given that those patients were effectively out of standard options before this therapy became available, those response rates are staggering.
