Practical, structured cancer guides for patients and families โ step-by-step help on diagnosis, treatment decisions, second opinions, clinical trials, and international cancer care.
Walk-throughs for the moments that matter โ from reading a biopsy report to preparing for treatment abroad.
Every patient's cancer journey involves dozens of decisions โ what report says what, which specialist to consult, whether to seek a second opinion, what to ask before travelling abroad, how to compare treatment plans, and when to consider advanced therapies or clinical trials.
CancerFax Guides are structured walk-throughs designed to make these decisions clearer. Each guide breaks a specific situation into practical steps, expected questions, and what to watch for โ so families can move forward calmly, with proper preparation, and with better conversations with their oncology teams.

Gene Therapy for Cancer
Leukemia is where gene therapy became real clinical medicine. Tisagenlecleucel (Kymriah) is FDA-approved for relapsed/refractory B-cell ALL with response rates exceeding 80%. Multiple approved CAR-T products target blood cancers. CRISPR-modified next-generation programs are in active trials. Cytokine release syndrome is the primary managed toxicity โ requires treatment at certified centers.
Read guideGene Therapy
Gene therapy for inherited blood disorders โ including thalassaemia, sickle cell disease, and haemophilia โ now includes three FDA/EMA-approved products (Zynteglo, Lyfgenia, Casgevy) and active clinical trials in China delivering CRISPR-based cures. Allogeneic stem cell transplantation at CMC Vellore and Peking University People's Hospital remains the most accessible curative option today for patients in Asia.

CAR-T for leukemia: Kymriah approved for B-ALL (CR 70-90%), Breyanzi for adult B-ALL (CR 63%), liso-cel for CLL (ORR 43%). AML CAR-T is in trials. Chinese academic centres run the most active AML CAR-T programmes globally targeting CD33, CD123, and CLL-1.

The CancerFax perspective
At CancerFax, we believe cancer guidance must be honest, compassionate, and medically responsible. Patients should not be pushed toward any hospital, country, or treatment without proper evaluation.
Our guides are designed to help families understand possibilities, limitations, risks, costs, and eligibility before making treatment decisions. We focus especially on advanced cancer treatment access, international second opinions, clinical trial preparation, and complex oncology navigation for patients who need more than routine medical tourism support.
