Why refer your patient to Lymphoma Australia?

The referral form has been created for healthcare professionals to connect patients and their loved ones to Lymphoma Australia. The earlier patients can be referred to us, we can:

  • Ensure they have received enough information about their subtype, treatment and supportive care options. We are able to provide age appropriate information too.
  • Patients and their carers will know that we are here for additional support when and if needed.
  • They know about our Lymphoma Nurse Support Line or can email us if they need additional specialist support or information
  • They can learn about the online support group Lymphoma Down Under for peer support with over 2,000 other patients and carers from across Australia
  • They can sign up for our regular newsletters to keep them updated on the latest lymphoma announcements about treatment, education and events organised by Lymphoma Australia.
  • They know where to receive reliable information from our website, throughout their lymphoma journey when they need it. People’s needs change over time and knowing where to find information is important.

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.
