The article discusses a new cancer treatment called CAR-T therapy available in the Czech Republic with a reported 99% effectiveness rate. This gene-based therapy involves taking a patient’s immune cells, modifying them in a lab, and returning them to destroy tumors. The treatment is currently available for adults with multiple myeloma who have not responded to previous treatments. It is noted as a one-time treatment that could improve patients' quality of life. However, the cost is extremely high, with public costs estimated at around 11 million Czech crowns per patient. The treatment is also being tested for non-oncological conditions such as autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus, dermatomyositis, systemic sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis. While promising, the experimental nature of the treatment means long-term safety and efficacy are still under evaluation, and it is only available to those whose standard treatments have failed.
