Overview
At Sarvodaya Hospital, we offer cutting-edge Cell & Gene Therapy, a promising frontier in modern medicine that treats diseases at their root cause, not just the symptoms. These advanced therapies use living cells or genetic material to repair, replace, or regenerate damaged tissues and functions.From rare genetic disorders to complex conditions like certain cancers, Cell & Gene Therapy opens new hope for patients where conventional treatments fall short. Our expert team ensures that each therapy is personalised, precise, and focused on long-term healing. One such breakthrough includes gene therapy for sickle cell disease, transforming lives with fewer interventions.
Why is Cell & Gene Therapy Required?
Cell & Gene Therapy is a revolutionary approach used when traditional treatments offer limited or temporary relief. It is especially beneficial in inherited genetic disorders such as Thalassemia and Sickle Cell Disease, where correcting the faulty gene can offer lasting improvement.These therapies are also used in certain types of cancers, particularly blood cancers, through advanced options like CAR-T therapy, which involves the transfer of healthy live cells into a patient to treat or cure a disease.
Patients with immunodeficiency disorders, degenerative conditions, rare diseases with known gene mutations, and enzyme or metabolic deficiencies can also benefit from different types of gene therapies.
Conditions Treated
- Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA)
- Inherited Retinal Diseases
- Haemophilia A and B
- Beta Thalassemia
- Sickle Cell Anaemia
- Certain Blood Cancers
- Autoimmune Disorders
Technology and Infrastructure
At Sarvodaya Hospital, we’ve built a dedicated laboratory to ensure the highest safety and quality standards. We use high-throughput screening and molecular diagnostics to ensure precision at every step.All procedures are conducted in biosafety cabinets within sterile environments, under the expertise of trained geneticists, molecular biologists, and cellular therapy professionals. Additionally, our real-time patient monitoring systems ensure a seamless and safe therapeutic journey.
Benefits of Cell & Gene Therapy
Cell & Gene Therapy offers a groundbreaking shift in how we treat complex and chronic conditions. It focuses on healing from within, by addressing the underlying genetic or cellular causes, rather than just managing symptoms. Here’s how patients benefit:- Targets the root cause of disease: Acts at the genetic or cellular level for deeper, more effective healing.
- Long-term remission or potential cure: Offers sustained relief or even complete cure in eligible cases.
- Reduced dependency on medications: Minimises or eliminates the need for lifelong drug therapy.
- Minimally invasive, personalised treatment: Tailored to the patient’s condition and biology, with less physical burden.
- Fewer side effects: Lower risk of complications when compared to traditional therapies.
- Better quality of life: Enhances long-term health outcomes and day-to-day well-being.
- Hope for rare disorders: Especially helpful in treating genetic or previously untreatable conditions.
Post-treatment Lifestyle Modifications
After undergoing Cell & Gene Therapy, patients are guided with specific lifestyle measures to support recovery and long-term success:- Regular follow-ups: Essential to track therapy effectiveness and detect any early side effects.
- Medication adherence: Continue any prescribed immunosuppressive or supportive medicines as directed.
- Infection precautions: Minimise exposure to crowded places and maintain good hygiene.
- Nutritious diet: Focus on foods that boost immunity and promote healing.
- Physical rest: Avoid heavy exertion until cleared by your doctor.
- Mental wellness: Seek counselling or support if feeling anxious or overwhelmed.
- Know the signs: Learn to identify early symptoms or complications that may require attention.
