CAR T-cell therapy is FDA-approved for patients with certain blood cancers like lymphoma, multiple myeloma or leukemia, particularly those whose disease has either relapsed or not responded to standard treatments.

Dr. George Geils Jr. and Dr. George Keogh of Charleston Oncology at Bon Secours St. Francis Hospital have championed this breakthrough treatment that re-engineers a patient's own cells to attack cancer.
