About

Immunotherapy & CAR-T Cell Therapy in Mumbai for UAE Patients

UAE patients considering Immunotherapy and CAR-T Cell Therapy often face difficult choices. Concerns arise about finding leading expertise, accessibility of advanced treatments, and managing overall costs outside their home country.

Many explore international options for innovative, affordable therapies. Mumbai is a top choice, recognized for its advanced medical facilities specifically for complex oncology treatments and integrated care.

Mumbai’s hospitals feature specialized oncologists and hematologists for cellular therapies. These centers provide a seamless patient experience from consultation to recovery, ensuring trusted and coordinated medical care within the city.

Is Mumbai the right city for your advanced cancer treatment?

What is Immunotherapy and CAR-T Cell Therapy?

Immunotherapy and CAR-T Cell Therapy harness the body's immune system to fight cancer. Immunotherapy boosts immunity to detect and destroy cancer. CAR-T is a specialized therapy where a patient’s own T-cells are genetically engineered to specifically target and eliminate cancer. These "living drugs" offer targeted, less toxic alternatives, providing new hope for specific advanced cancers.

What are the Types of Immunotherapy and CAR-T Cell Therapy?

  • Checkpoint Inhibitors
  • Monoclonal Antibodies
  • Oncolytic Viruses
  • CAR-T Cell Therapy
  • Cancer Vaccines

When is Immunotherapy or CAR-T Cell Therapy Required?

  • Advanced or metastatic cancers (e.g., melanoma, lung, blood cancers).
  • When traditional treatments fail or are unsuitable.
  • Recurrent cancer.
  • Specific tumor biomarkers or genetic mutations.

What is the Pre-Treatment Evaluation Process?

  • Medical History & Exam
  • Blood Tests
  • Biopsy & Pathology
  • Imaging Scans (PET-CT, MRI)
  • Cardiac/Pulmonary Tests
  • Specialist Consultation

How is Immunotherapy or CAR-T Cell Therapy Performed?

The procedure is always tailored to the patient's specific cancer, stage, and overall health condition.

For Immunotherapy (General)

  • IV drugs given in cycles.
  • Regular monitoring.

For CAR-T Cell Therapy (Specific Steps)

  1. T-cells collected (Apheresis).
  2. T-cells engineered in lab.
  3. Chemotherapy prep.
  4. CAR-T cells re-infused.
  5. Close hospital monitoring.

What is the Recovery Process After Treatment?

Recovery varies. Immunotherapy involves managing side effects with follow-ups. CAR-T requires intensive hospital observation (2-4 weeks) for risks like CRS and neurotoxicity. Post-discharge, patients remain near the center for monitoring. Long-term recovery demands ongoing surveillance and strict adherence to care plans.

What Are the Risks and Success Rates of These Therapies?

  • Immune-Related Adverse Events (irAEs)
  • Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS)
  • Neurological Toxicities (ICANS)
  • Infections
  • Persistent Fatigue

Success rates depend on cancer type, stage, and patient factors. Immunotherapy offers durable responses for some advanced cancers. CAR-T shows remarkable remission rates for specific blood cancers. Not all patients respond, and relapse is possible, but outcomes are improving.

What is the Cost of Immunotherapy and CAR-T Cell Therapy in Mumbai?

Treatment costs in Mumbai vary by therapy type, cycles, patient complexity, hospital, specialist, and hospital stay. Pre-treatment assessments and post-treatment care also contribute.

Immunotherapy per cycle: INR 2,50,000 - 6,00,000. CAR-T Cell Therapy (total): INR 1,50,00,000 - 3,00,00,000, based on specific needs.
