Excerpts:
Q: You have recently (last year) introduced two of the world's latest final stage cancer treatments to India. Can you explain to a layman, what these are and who exactly they will benefit?
A: SUNACT has introduced groundbreaking cancer treatments using advanced cellular therapies, including CAR T-cell therapy, TCR therapy, and gamma delta T-cell therapy. These treatments work by taking the patient's own immune cells (T-cells), altering them in the lab to better recognize and attack cancer cells, and then reintroducing them into the body. Essentially, the body's own defense system is enhanced to target and destroy tumors more effectively. This offers a new, powerful way to fight cancer using the body's natural abilities.
