WHAT YESCARTA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Yescarta is a gene therapy medicine used for treating adults with
aggressive diffuse large B-cell
lymphoma (DLBCL), primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL)
and follicular lymphoma
(FL) affecting your lymph tissue (part of the immune system) that
affects a type of white blood cell
called B lymphocytes and other organs in your body. Too many of these
abnormal white blood cells
accumulate in your tissue and this is the cause of the symptoms you
may have.
The medicine is made specially for you as a single administration of
your own modified white blood
cells.
