‘Miracles do happen’: Blood cancer treatment comes to Saskatchewan
“It involves using the patient’s own immune cells and manufacturing them to identify and attack their own cancer,” Bosch said.He added those cells will get sent back and will be infused into the patient.
“When these engineered cells come into contact with cancer cells they will immediately destroy them throughout the patient’s body.” He said this treatment doesn’t work for everyone and some may get severe side effects, but added it’s a life-saving treatment for many.Minister of Health Paul Merriman said making this treatment available in the province was a collaborative effort between multiple groups.
Merriman said the provincial government supplied over $2 million for the initial development of the program and will be providing roughly $6.7 million annually to run the program and fund the cost of treatment for patients. He noted this takes stress off families who would otherwise have to travel out of province for these treatments.
