Lunch with Lymphoma

As part of our free community education, Lymphoma Australia is excited to announce a series of webinars.

Join the Lymphoma Care Nurses online at regular times throughout the year for a lunchtime webinar.

You will be introduced to one of our nurses, or a lymphoma specialist, each week, who will then lead a conversation on a different topic. Have your questions answered, hear from an expert and feel connected.

Please note that this Webinar Series has ended, but you can view all previous recordings below.

Useful Definitions

Refractory: This means the lymphoma does not get better with treatment. The treatment didn’t work as hoped.
Relapsed: This means the lymphoma came back after being gone for a while after treatment.
2nd line treatment: This is the second treatment you get if the first one didn’t work (refractory) or if the lymphoma comes back (relapse).
3rd line treatment: This is the third treatment you get if the second one didn’t work or the lymphoma comes back again.
Approved: Available in Australia and listed by the Therapeutics Goods Administration (TGA).
Funded: Costs are covered for Australian citizens. This means if you have a Medicare card, you shouldn’t have to pay for the treatment.[WO7]

You need healthy T-cells to make CAR T-cells. For this reason, CAR T-cell therapy cannot be used if you have a T-cell lymphoma – yet.

For more information on CAR T-cells and T-cell lymphoma click here.

Special Note: Although your T-cells are removed from your blood for CAR T-cell therapy, most of our T-cells live outside of our blood – in our lymph nodes, thymus, spleen and other organs.
