Early diagnosis and prompt, effective management by specialists improve the chances of curing B-Cell lymphoma. The London Clinic provides expert care from leading consultant Haematologists and Oncologists to identify lymphoma and the very latest treatments to relieve symptoms, treat the cancer, and support your recovery.
A transfusion means that donated blood is added to your own blood through an intravenous drip into a vein in the arm.
The London Clinic offers this transformative cell therapy to cancer patients. CAR-T cell therapy is a cutting-edge treatment for adults with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Immune cells are collected from patients and genetically modified to destroy cancer cells. This revolutionary therapy can offer hope for people who have no other treatment options.
The cell saver programme recovers and recycles the patient’s own blood that may be lost during an operation. The process ‘cleans’ the blood, extracting the red cells, which can then be transfused back into the patient.
Haemochromatosis treatment is straightforward. It involves taking blood a pint at a time to deplete the body’s iron stores in a procedure called venesection. A typical schedule could involve taking a pint of blood each week until serum ferritin levels are at the lower end of the normal range.
Analysis of a blood sample will show abnormally large, fragile red blood cells (megaloblasts) and a low haemoglobin count, but these are characteristic of all forms of anaemia. Usually, if atrophic gastritis (a thinning of the stomach lining) is identified at endoscopy, this is a very positive sign that pernicious anaemia has developed.
Stem cell therapy uses the cells’ unique ability to regenerate and repair tissues. Stem cells have been used effectively for many years in the treatment for conditions such as cancers of the blood and marrow, thalassaemia and sickle cell disease.
