CAR T-cell Therapy
CAR T-Cell Therapy for Sarcoma
This trial is testing a new cancer treatment that uses patients' own immune cells. Researchers will insert a new gene into the cells that will make them better at fighting the cancer. The cells will be given to patients after they have received chemotherapy, which should help the cells to better fight the cancer.

Introduction to sarcoma
What are the top hospitals conducting sarcoma research?
When it comes to cutting-edge clinical trials focused on sarcoma, several top hospitals are leading the way. Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New york stands out with an impressive 17 active sarcoma trials and a remarkable record of 89 completed trials throughout its history. Since conducting their first sarcoma trial in 1993, this renowned institution has been at the forefront of innovative research for this rare form of cancer. Meanwhile, Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston has also made significant contributions with six ongoing sarcoma trials and a total of 38 completed trials since their pioneering investigation started in 1999.
Heading west to Los Angeles, UCLA/Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center is another major player in the field. With six active clinical trials focusing on sarcoma and a cumulative count of fifteen past studies addressing this disease since recording their inaugural trial in 1999, they have become instrumental in advancing our understanding and treatment options for those affected by sarcomas.
In Chicago, Northwestern University Medical Center has emerged as a formidable force against this type of cancer as well. They currently have five active sarcoma trials underway and can proudly look back on thirty-one prior investigations conducted since initiating their first recorded trial dedicated to tackling sarcomas back in2009. Lastly but not leastly still contributing important insights into the worldof potential treatmentsand solutions; Dana Farber Cancer Institute located once again InBoston offers five current open-minded experiments conducing grounds breaking work that promised new discoveries about Sarcomas' nature after participating alongside32 previous examinations from starting from around fourteen short years ago until2007
