Cancer Won’t Wait, Hope Is Here!

Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell therapy, also called CAR-T therapy, is an advanced cellular therapy which harnesses the body's immune system to fight cancer. CAR-T therapy modifies a patient's T-cells to target and destroy cancer cells, offering a cutting-edge approach to personalized cancer care.The Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders is proud to be one of the first community physician practices in Texas to deliver a CAR-T therapy outside a hospital or academic center. As one of the first independent practices to deliver this innovative therapy outside of a hospital in Texas, The Center's program marks a milestone in expanding patient access to cutting-edge care in cancer centers close to where patients live. Our medical oncology team was the first in Tarrant County to treat a patient with CAR-T therapy for aggressive lymphoma. The Center's CAR-T care delivery model allows for seamless monitoring and care coordination between the Center's physician-based clinic and local hospitals, ensuring patient safety and improving treatment outcomes.

Surgical oncology focuses on the use of surgery to diagnose, treat, or help prevent cancer. Surgery may be used to remove a tumor, evaluate whether cancer has spread, relieve symptoms, or support other treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, or targeted therapy. The approach your surgeon recommends depends on the type of cancer, the stage of disease, and your overall health and treatment goals. Many cancer surgeries today are performed using minimally invasive techniques that can shorten recovery time and reduce discomfort. Your surgical and oncology teams work closely together to create a coordinated, personalized plan that supports both safety and long-term outcomes.

Radiation therapy uses highly targeted, high-energy radiation to destroy cancer cells and shrink tumors. It is one of the most common treatments for cancer. Radiation may be used on its own or combined with other treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or targeted therapy, depending on each patient’s diagnosis and care plan.Radiation therapy affects only the area of the body being treated. It works by damaging cancer cells so they can no longer grow and divide. Healthy cells in the surrounding area may also be exposed to radiation, but they can usually repair themselves and return to normal function. Your care team will plan each treatment carefully to deliver the most precise dose while protecting as much healthy tissue as possible.
