In recent years, CAR-T cell therapy has sparked a revolution in cancer treatment worldwide, achieving remarkable results, especially in lymphoma care. As one of the global leaders in CAR-T therapy, China has attracted a large number of international patients seeking this cutting-edge immunotherapy. So, what types of lymphoma patients are suitable to travel to China for this advanced treatment?

## Indications: The First Choice for Relapsed or Refractory Lymphoma Patients

CAR-T treatment in China primarily targets patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), follicular lymphoma (FL), and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). Specific patient groups that are suitable include:

1. **Relapsed DLBCL**: Patients who did not respond to first-line treatments, such as R-CHOP, or relapsed within 12 months after treatment.

2. **Follicular Lymphoma (FL)**: Patients with grade 1-3a FL who have relapsed or are refractory after at least two lines of treatment.

3. **Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL)**: Patients whose disease remains difficult to control even after multiple treatments, including BTK inhibitors.

4. Patients whose lymphoma is resistant to traditional treatments or who experience rapid relapse after therapies such as conventional chemotherapy and targeted treatments.

5. More indications include diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (not otherwise specified), DLBCL transformed from follicular lymphoma, primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma, and high-grade B-cell lymphoma with MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 rearrangement, as well as grade 3b follicular lymphoma.

CAR-T therapy offers new hope to these patients by targeting the CD19 antigen on the surface of tumor cells.

## Physical Condition: Stable Health is Key

While CAR-T therapy has shown significant efficacy, the potential for serious side effects, such as **cytokine release syndrome (CRS)** and **neurotoxicity**, means that patients must be in stable health to tolerate the risks associated with treatment. Suitable patients should meet the following conditions:

– **Good heart and lung function**: The patient’s cardiovascular and respiratory health should be adequate to handle the stress of treatment.

– **Normal liver and kidney function**: Liver enzymes (such as ALT) and creatinine levels should be within normal ranges to ensure that the patient can properly eliminate toxins from the body.

– **Stable immune system**: Patients should not have severe infections or immunosuppressed conditions, as CAR-T therapy can further weaken the immune system, increasing the risk of infection.

Additionally, patients need to achieve a performance status score of 0-1 on the ECOG scale, indicating that they have good functional ability and can handle daily activities independently.

## Pre-Treatment Testing: Ensuring Proper Antigen Expression

CAR-T therapy targets specific antigens (such as CD19) on the surface of tumor cells, so patients’ cancer cells must express these antigens for treatment to be effective. If tests show that the tumor cells do not express the relevant antigens, CAR-T therapy will not work effectively.

## Costs and Resources: The Advantages of CAR-T in China

Compared to Western countries, CAR-T therapy in China is relatively affordable, usually costing between hundreds of thousands to one million RMB, whereas in the U.S., CAR-T treatment can cost several hundred thousand dollars. For patients with the financial ability but who find it difficult to bear the high costs of treatment in the West, China offers a significant cost advantage.

Moreover, China boasts several top-tier hospitals with established CAR-T treatment programs, such as leading cancer centers in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. These hospitals have extensive clinical experience, offering international patients convenient access to treatment.

Why More and More Foreigners Are Choosing China for CAR-T Cell Therapy

**Why More and More Foreigners Are Choosing China for CAR-T Cell Therapy**

In recent years, China’s advancements in cell therapy, particularly CAR-T therapy, have been remarkable, attracting numerous international patients seeking treatment. With its cutting-edge technology, reasonable costs, and outstanding efficacy, China has become a preferred destination for cancer patients worldwide. Today, we will explore why an increasing number of foreign patients choose to come to China for cell therapy.

**The Rise of CAR-T Therapy: China’s Advantages**

First, CAR-T therapy is a personalized immunotherapy that specifically targets blood-related cancers such as lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and leukemia. By engineering a patient’s own T-cells to recognize and attack cancer cells, CAR-T therapy has shown significant efficacy, especially in patients with advanced cancer.

China’s advantages in cell therapy can be summarized into three key points:

  1. **Technological Expertise**: China has accumulated extensive experience in CAR-T therapy, particularly in top hospitals in major cities like Shanghai and Beijing. These institutions boast world-class medical teams and advanced treatment systems, providing international patients with high-quality treatment plans that ensure global leading outcomes.

  2. **Affordable Costs**: While CAR-T therapy can cost millions of dollars in countries like the U.S. and Europe, the treatment in China is much more affordable, usually about one-seventh to one-tenth of the cost in the U.S. This affordability makes China an attractive option for many international patients.

  3. **Shorter Waiting Times**: In Western countries, patients often wait several months for CAR-T therapy, whereas in China, many hospitals can complete the entire process — from diagnosis to cell infusion — in just a few weeks. This is crucial for patients with urgent medical needs.

**Real-Life Cases: Why Foreign Patients Choose China**

Several real-life cases clearly demonstrate why international patients are increasingly seeking treatment in China.

– **Ethan from Singapore**

  Ethan had been battling cancer for nearly ten years, trying various treatments globally with little success. Eventually, he decided to seek treatment in China. After a thorough evaluation at Jiahui International Hospital in Shanghai, Ethan received a personalized CAR-T therapy plan. Within just four weeks, his cancer cells had significantly decreased, and his health began to improve, along with his weight. Ethan remarked, “The treatment in China is not only effective but also much more affordable than in Singapore.”

– **A Russian Patient’s Story**

  Borzinkov, a 70-year-old patient with high-risk advanced multiple myeloma, had experienced multiple treatment failures before learning about China’s CAR-T therapy. He traveled to China for treatment, successfully completed cell collection, and received CAR-T infusion. Just 13 days later, he was discharged, and his follow-up results have been very promising. He chose China not only for the lower costs but also because of the shorter waiting time.

These cases illustrate that international patients in China can receive high-quality, effective treatment at more affordable rates and with faster recovery times. So far, patients from countries like Russia, Singapore, Malaysia, and others have undergone CAR-T therapy in China and achieved significant results, with many experiencing complete remission within months, with no signs of cancer after treatment.

**China’s Leading Position and Future Prospects**

China has already established itself as a global leader in CAR-T therapy, accounting for over 50% of the world’s clinical trials in this field. Chinese researchers and doctors excel not only in the basic research and clinical applications of CAR-T therapy but also in managing side effects such as CRS and neurotoxicity.

In cities like Shanghai, Wuhan, and Beijing, doctors provide cutting-edge treatment to international patients daily, consistently delivering excellent outcomes. As China’s medical system continues to advance, more and more international patients are choosing China as their destination for treatment.

**Conclusion**

The reasons why foreign patients are choosing China for cell therapy are clear: China excels in technology, offers reasonable treatment costs, and delivers outstanding results. As the world becomes more aware of the progress in China’s healthcare system, more patients will seek advanced medical care in China. In particular, China’s breakthroughs in cell therapy will continue to attract cancer patients from across the globe.

### Preparing for the Trip

Preparation for medical treatment in China involves several steps, including contacting medical institutions and obtaining a medical visa. It is advisable to seek assistance from international medical coordination agencies. When consulting, prepare a description of your condition, past medical records (such as reports and images), your preferred hospital, budget, and expected timeframe.

### Connecting with Medical Institutions

Coordinate with Chinese medical institutions through international medical agencies to confirm whether treatment will be accepted and to obtain detailed information about the treatment plan, timeline, and costs. Adjust your stay plans based on the information provided.

👑🍋Precision Treatment Journey: Defeating Multiple Myeloma with Chinese CAR-T Therapy👑🍋
Multiple Myeloma

Multiple Myeloma

 
💪Meet John, a resilient man from New Zealand who has been battling multiple myeloma, a relentless form of cancer. Severe bone pain has confined him to bed for an extended period, disrupting his daily life. However, a glimmer of hope emerged when he sought treatment at Renji Hospital’s Hematology Department in Shanghai, China.
🍒Renji Hospital’s medical team, led by Professor Hou Jian, specializes in CAR-T cell therapy, a revolutionary approach to target cancer cells with precision. John’s journey began eleven years ago when he was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. Despite undergoing numerous chemotherapy sessions and two autologous stem cell transplants, his condition deteriorated rapidly over the past year.
🍈Intense back pain rendered him unable to stand or walk, forcing him into prolonged bed rest and heavy reliance on pain medication. Further assessments revealed widespread extramedullary plasmacytomas in his bones and throat, along with complex chromosomal abnormalities, indicating a grim prognosis.
🍓Having exhausted conventional treatments, John explored alternative options and learned about Renji Hospital’s expertise in CAR-T cell therapy for refractory multiple myeloma. In 2016, Professor Hou Jian’s team initiated clinical trials utilizing CAR-T cell therapy, accumulating significant experience in treating relapsed and refractory cases.
🍇Upon evaluation, John’s medical team identified substantial tumor burden and compromised bone marrow function due to extensive chemotherapy. Despite the challenges, Professor Hou Jian’s team tailored a personalized treatment plan, opting for dual CAR-T therapy targeting CD19 and BCMA antigens.
🥑John has since returned to New Zealand and maintains regular contact with his medical team at Renji Hospital. Ongoing monitoring and follow-ups ensure his progress is closely tracked. “John is gradually reclaiming his daily life. Recently, he even shared photos of hiking and fishing adventures with us,” Professor Hou Jian shared.
