RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Nov 1 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre (KFSH&RC) has achieved a significant milestone by successfully conducting liquid biopsies on patients spanning various age groups. This innovative approach offers a safer alternative to conventional tissue biopsies. Notably, KFSH&RC stands out as the first healthcare facility in the Middle East to adopt this cutting-edge technology. 

This groundbreaking method is distinguished by its ability to detect approximately 50 genes associated with cancer and over 3,000 genetic mutations. This represents a pivotal advancement in patient care, eliminating the need to extract tissue from the affected area for examination. This transformative step greatly enhances healthcare outcomes and elevates the overall patient experience.

Liquid biopsy offers advantages over traditional tissue biopsies. It’s less invasive, involving a simple 10 ml blood sample that can be repeated during treatment. Additionally, it provides high accuracy in swiftly detecting tumor biomarkers, predicting treatment responses, identifying emerging mutations, and confirming the absence of tumor recurrence, marking a significant advancement in cancer science.

This technology presents a safer alternative to traditional biopsies for patients facing challenges in accessing affected tissue without surgical intervention, as seen in cases like lung cancer. It is particularly beneficial for elderly patients, for whom a lung tissue biopsy may not be suitable due to the potential for severe complications associated with it.

As a strategic health partner at the Global Health Exhibition in Riyadh from October 29 to 31, KFSH&RC will showcase its pavilion in the accompanying exhibition, where visitors can explore Liquid biopsy technology and various other healthcare solutions and technologies.

Liquid biopsy technology holds promise for other stages of cancer treatment at KFSH&RC. Through the routine use of the test, it is possible to build a database of tumor-causing mutations in the local community, which helps in early diagnosis of cancer before tumors form, in addition to tracking changes in the patient’s condition, frequently during treatment, allowing timely adjustments to treatment plans and preventing worsening of the condition.

This achievement is a part of KFSH&RC’s ongoing commitment to harness advanced technologies for enhancing operational excellence and patient care. The test facilitates swift clinical decision-making for cancer patient management and reduces both the testing time and its process through full automation.

KFSH&RC stands as one of the world’s prominent institutions in delivering specialized healthcare, leading the way in innovation, and serving as an advanced hub for medical research and education. Furthermore, it actively endeavors to advance medical technologies and elevate global healthcare standards through collaborations with significant local, regional, and international organizations, aiming to deliver world-class clinical, research, and educational services.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 31 (Bernama) — The King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre (KFSH&RC) celebrated its success in treating the 100th patient with lymphoid leukaemia using Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR T-cell) therapy, aligned with its vision to be the optimal choice for specialised healthcare.

CAR T-cell therapy is an innovative treatment that enhances the ability of T-cells to recognise and destroy cancer cells after genetic modification in the laboratory to improve their targeting ability.

According to a statement, this approach overcomes the challenge of distinguishing between cancer and normal cells, offering a promising method for treating lymphoid leukaemia.

KFSH&RC emphasised that this innovative technology provides hope for patients with resistant leukaemia and lymphoid tumours, especially those not effectively treatable with traditional methods.

As a strategic healthcare partner, the hospital is sharing information about CAR T-cell therapy, its positive impact on healthcare improvement, and various healthcare solutions and innovations during the Global Health Exhibition taking place in Riyadh from Oct 29 to 31.

The hospital explained that this advanced therapy consists of four stages, namely, extracting blood from the patient to obtain specific cells; and then genetically modifying them in the lab for three to four weeks.

Next, shortly before CAR T-cell therapy, the patient receives a low dose of chemotherapy to enhance its effectiveness and the body’s ability to fight cancer. Ultimately, CAR T-cells are infused into the patient’s arm, which is closely monitored for four weeks to ensure the body’s adaptation.

The application of this advanced treatment in the Kingdom represents a qualitative addition to specialised medical care, reducing the financial, social and health burdens of sending such cases abroad, aligning with Saudi Vision 2030 and its healthcare objectives.
