• Stem cell transplant: This procedure replaces damaged or destroyed stem cells in the bone marrow with healthy stem cells. It may involve the use of high-dose chemotherapy or radiation to eradicate cancer cells before the transplant.
• CAR-T cell therapy: This innovative treatment involves modifying a patient's own immune cells (T cells) in a laboratory to recognize and destroy cancer cells when infused back into the body.
