SYNOPSIS


For parents, coping and caring for a child with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) can be challenging, including the choice of treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery and bone marrow transplantation. Though these treatments are useful, they are not always successful and could result in many long-term side effects. Recently, chimeric antigen receptor modified T cells (CAR-T) become a new form of treatment for ALL. In this webinar, Dr. Chan,Dr Leung and Dr Li will share practical information with patients, survivors, their family members and caregivers on CAR-T Therapy and how it can save more children with ALL with less side effects.

应对和照顾患有急性淋巴细胞白血病(ALL)的孩子,对父母是一项艰巨的挑战,包括该选择化疗、放射治疗、手术还是骨髓移植等治疗方案?这些虽然是有效的治疗方案,但未必适用于每个病童,并且可能导致许多长期的副作用。嵌合抗原受体修饰T细胞(CAR-T)是近期治疗ALL的一种新方案。在本次网络研讨会上,梁医生,陈医生和李医生将与患者、康复者、他们的家人和护理人员分享有关CAR-T治疗的实用信息,以及它如何能够以较少的副作用挽救更多患有 ALL 的儿童。
