Nagpur first in central India to Offer CAR T-Cell Therapy for Blood Cancer
Nagpur: In a major medical development for central India, CAR T-cell therapy — considered one of the most advanced cancer treatments in the world — was successfully performed at a private hospital in the city, bringing hope to patients battling resistant blood cancers like Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL). The complex immunotherapy was administered to two patients who relapsed despite undergoing multiple rounds of chemotherapy. The treatment involves re-engineering the patient's own immune cells to fight cancer, and its availability in a Tier-2 city like Nagpur marks a major leap in regional cancer care. Dr Kanchan Dubey, a 37-year-old physician diagnosed with ALL in 2023, was one of the first to receive the treatment. "As a medical professional, I knew the odds were against me. This therapy gave me not just hope but life again, as a doctor and as a mother," she said. Another patient, 25-year-old Praful Gawande from rural Vidarbha, also exhausted all conventional treatment options. "We stopped planning for the future. This treatment saved my life and restored my family's belief in miracles," he said emotionally. Doctors treating the patients emphasised the significance of this advancement. "CAR T-cell therapy is no longer a technology exclusive to metro cities or foreign hospitals. It is now a reality in Nagpur," said Dr Nishad Dhakate, consultant haematologist. His colleague, Dr Rajat Rajeev Bajaj, added, "This is not just a scientific breakthrough, but a reminder that access to such care must not be limited by geography. " The introduction of CAR T-cell therapy in Nagpur is expected to benefit patients from across Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, and Madhya Pradesh, who were earlier forced to travel to metro cities for this treatment. Neeta Rajwar, chief operating officer of the hospital, said, "CAR T-cell therapy is one of the most advanced cancer treatments in the world, and our success in performing it in Nagpur ensures that such innovation is no longer restricted to metros or overseas institutions. We've made it accessible, effective, and life-changing right here in Nagpur."

'Doctors said my daughter had anxiety - but what she had was my worst nightmare'
Skye was later diagnosed with cancer. A mum has told how she suffered every parent's worst nightmare - as the pain in her daughter's side turned out to be cancer. Christina Harris took Skye to their GP when she complained of the sharp pain, which was accompanied by a fever and breathlessness that came out of nowhere. And the 46-year-old said that medics told her initially that her 10-year-old was actually suffering from anxiety. But Christina knew that it was unlike her 'bubbly and active' daughter and that there was more to it. But she was not prepared for what was about to come after acting on her mother's instinct and taking her to A&E a few days later. Christina, of Essex, told The Mirror: "Sometimes you just have to go with your instincts when you know something is wrong". Determined to know what was causing her daughter to be in pain, doctors then did several scans, including an X-ray and noticed shadowing on Skye's ribcage. "They initially thought it may be an infection or something and gave her some antibiotics to clear it up," Christina recalled. "I hoped this was the case, and we went home with antibiotics." But after a few days, and still unsure, Christina rushed her daughter back to A&E after Skye had another temperature in the middle of the night. She knew deep down her daughter wasn't getting any better. "You just go into a pilot mode, I was blocking out any type of negative thoughts I was having, and just wanted what was best for my daughter." During this visit, doctors then found Skye's lungs full of mucus. She was diagnosed with pneumonia, which was the reason for her excruciating pain. And after further investigation and more blood tests, it turned out to be something much worse. On December 7, 2021, the keen dancer was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL), a rare type of blood cancer and was blue-lighted to Great Ormond Street Hospital to begin her chemotherapy treatment.

She said: "I knew something wasn't right, she kept complaining of this pain, even in her sleep, it wasn't normal". But after a few days, and still unsure, Christina rushed her daughter back to A&E after Skye had another temperature in the middle of the night, and she knew deep down her daughter wasn't getting any better. The Mirror reports she said: "It was scary when they told me she had pneumonia. Obviously I did not anticipate what was to come. It's every parent's worst nightmare." Christina, a mother of two, sadly lost her job as an estate agent because she needed to support her daughter and became a full-time carer. Her son Marley, 13 at the time, was able to spend time at his dad's house more frequently as Christina cared for Skye. She said: "You just know deep down when something isn't right, but I never thought it would be that Skye had leukaemia, you just have to go with your instincts in these moments and I am so glad I did. "When we got the news, I just went into flight mode and I couldn't think of anything other than the fact my daughter had cancer. I cried so much when we got to Great Ormond Street, but in a strange way, I finally felt safe. I was just so pleased that they had found out what was wrong." Skye then spent 11 days in Great Ormond Street, where she began her chemotherapy treatment. "We were at Great Ormond Street multiple times a week, as well as appointments at our local hospital too. She was having such aggressive chemotherapy which went on for six months. I had to also make sure I was keeping an eye on her temperature, as if it went to 38 degrees I'd need to rush her to hospital. I knew when she wasn't right." Skye was put on strong antibiotics every time she had a high fever due to her weakened immune system and was having chemotherapy given in multiple ways, including into her thigh, as well as into her spine. She added: "This type of leukaemia is one of the longest cancer treatments for children and it made Skye really poorly." Skye finished her treatment after a year, and then moved on to maintenance chemotherapy, designed to help keep cancer from coming back after it has disappeared following the initial therapy. While she felt extremely unwell during her treatment, Skye said she enjoyed going to Great Ormond Street as she had become friends with all of the doctors and nurses. She was also treated to takeaways and feasted on food when she felt up to it. Skye said: "I wasn't at school and I wasn't making any friends so it was hard, but I got to know all of the nurses and they were really nice to me. It wasn't a nice experience but I managed to find some joys in between. "My mum let me have any kind of food I wanted so we would always get a Nando's or a Pizza Express. This type of leukaemia is one of the longest cancer treatments for children and it made Skye really poorly." Skye finished her treatment after a year, and then moved on to maintenance chemotherapy, designed to help keep cancer from coming back after it has disappeared initially. Recalling the time spent in hospital, Chrisina said it was "horrendous" and detailed: "It was really hard. You never want this for anyone, let alone your own children and it was really difficult. I think you just sort of switch off from everything else and just go into this type of pilot mode. "You have to give her everything she needs and I got to a point where I had this diary where I'd tick off hour by hour which medication I was giving her. She needed certain medications at exact times so it was a lot to do - I was basically a nurse looking after her. I was trying to just block out any negative thoughts and just focus on giving her what she needed. "The first nine months, when she was having the most intensive part of the treatment, we couldn't leave the house and the only people that could come in were the nurses. My parents live in Denmark so I was doing it all alone, and my son Marley had to get dropped at his dad's a lot of the time, especially when Skye needed to be rushed into hospital quickly." Skye was finally able to ring the bell on March 30 last year and has been in remission since. She also celebrated with an end of treatment party, something she had been looking forward to for the past three years." Now 13, Skye is doing really well and says she wants to be a nutritionist at GOSH. She said: "I really want to be a nutritionist, my time in treatment has really inspired me to help others like the way the doctors and nurses have helped me. GOSH Charity is currently raising £300m to build a new Children's Cancer Centre at Great Ormond Street, which will help thousands of children like Skye. Skye and her mum Christina say the new centre will be "amazing" for patients like her.

Donor search for boy who was told cancer had returned on 16th birthday
Reece Khan faces gruelling treatment and has been given a one-in-five chance of survival by medics. His mother Selina Niman, 51, a care worker from Lincoln, said the news has 'broken' the family. Reece was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), a rare cancer than affects the blood and bone marrow, at the age of 11 in March 2020, days before the first Covid lockdown. Mrs Niman said it was 'absolutely devastating' for the family, adding: 'It was horrendous. And because it was Covid, we couldn't have any visitors up here.' Reece, who loves baking and watching food programmes, also had further complications due to having type 1 diabetes. He was told he was cancer-free 18 months ago after three and a half years of treatment. However, he started getting headaches earlier this year and went to hospital for an MRI scan in April. The next day – his 16th birthday – Reece received the news that his cancer had returned and spread to his brain. His chemotherapy will be much stronger and he will need radiotherapy and a stem cell transplant. Mrs Niman said: 'He's scared now. I said, 'You beat it once, you can beat it again'. 'We're just broken as a family. We just don't know what else to do or where to go. Words cannot explain how we feel now. 'I just want to jump in his hospital bed and swap places with him.' As Reece is mixed race, it will be harder for him to find a stem cell donor. Reece's brother Kyle, 25, has been tested and is a half match. The family are working with the charity Anthony Nolan, which is searching worldwide registers to find a full match and give the treatment the best chance of success. Selina said: 'Reece is mixed race, white and Asian, and it's harder to find a match. 'That's why it's so important that as many people as possible join the stem cell register. Go to the Anthony Nolan website and order a swab. 'It's just a swab for the inside of your cheek. It's not painful. Stick it back in an envelope and that is all it takes. Literally a minute of your time and it would mean the world to me, to me and Reece.' Rowena Bentley, head of programme and community recruitment at Anthony Nolan, said: 'Reece's story is especially poignant because he was told about the relapse on his 16th birthday; the date that young people can join the Anthony Nolan register and potentially save a life. 'It's vital that we raise awareness of stem cell donation and encourage more people to join the register. 'We know that younger stem cell donors give patients the best chance of survival. That's why we're calling on healthy 16 to 30-year-olds to join the register now, so that people like Reece can have a second chance at life.'
