CAR-T Gene Therapy to be approved in Alberta

The Government of Alberta and Alberta Health Services (AHS) have announced that CAR-T Gene therapy will now become approved within the province.

The therapy will be provided at The Tom Baker and Cross Cancer Centers. This is a novel, and state of the art therapy that Albertans with cancerous blood conditions, and their providers are welcoming. Below is a video of the announcement from AHS, as well as an article by CTV Calgary.

If you have any questions on this therapy and how it may impact your treatment, please contact your care providers.
