Why it matters for lymphoma
Lymphoma is not just one disease, but has more than 90 different subtypes that require specific diagnostic expertise and experience with the latest nuanced treatment approaches. An accurate diagnosis and evaluation by an expert team that focuses on all lymphoma types every day is important because you may need:
- Specialized testing to determine your cells genetic profile. Roswell Park’s pathology expertise and technologies will determine whether your cancer cells have mutations that may respond better to newer treatment options.
- Stem cell transplant. Early evaluation for this option is important to determine whether preliminary testing and donor search should begin. Not everyone will need a stem cell transplant, but if you do, our team can act quickly.
- Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy. This advanced type of cellular therapy uses your own immune cells to create a living drug. Roswell Park is an authorized treatment center for all of the latest CAR T-cell therapies for lymphoma, including Kymria, Yescarta, Tecartus and Breyanzi.
- Treatment only available through a clinical trial. Clinical trials offer the earliest access to the very latest treatments, sometimes months or years before they are available to other providers. If you have lymphoma, you need access to the best treatment for you today.
