In clinical trials, TIL therapy has been successful in treating patients who have exhausted the standard paths of care. This gives the team hope that this new therapy will provide long-lasting remissions.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was a time when melanoma patients had no good treatment options,\u201d Dr. Kazemi says. \u201cImmunotherapy has been a breakthrough. A lot of patients go into remission and are even cured. While these treatments don\u2019t work for everyone, we\u2019ve made progress.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jefferson Health first introduced TIL therapy in 2024.\u00a0Drs. Nair, Kazemi and Blackham are pleased to make this groundbreaking treatment available in the Lehigh Valley.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBeing able to provide access to TIL therapy for advanced melanoma locally at Lehigh Valley Hospital\u2013Cedar Crest<\/a> through our Stem Cell Transplant and Cellular Therapy Program<\/a> is very convenient for our patients and families, and it\u2019s possibly lifesaving,\u201d Dr. Nair says.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In clinical trials, TIL therapy has been successful in treating patients who have exhausted the standard paths of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":121770,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[119,121,120],"class_list":["post-121769","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-allentown","tag-allentown","tag-allentown-headlines","tag-allentown-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121769","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=121769"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121769\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/121770"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=121769"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=121769"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=121769"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
