Hospital blood cancer programme in Baton Rouge providing bone marrow and stem cell transplantation, CAR-T cell therapy and clinical trials.
Our Lady of the Lake Cancer Institute is the cancer programme of Our Lady of the Lake in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, part of the Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System. Its blood cancer and cell therapy service treats adults with leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma and bone marrow failure disorders.
This is mainstream hospital cancer medicine, not a private regenerative medicine clinic. The cell therapies offered are established treatments for blood cancer: allogeneic stem cell or bone marrow transplantation, using cells from a donor; autologous transplantation, using the patient's own cells collected beforehand; and CAR-T cell therapy, in which a patient's own T cells are re-engineered to target cancer. Treatment is delivered by haematologists working in multidisciplinary teams alongside supportive care services.
The programme also runs clinical trials in blood cancers and cellular therapy, so some patients may be offered treatment within a study. Three named directors lead the service. The site does not publish prices; care of this kind is billed through health insurance in the United States and the hospital's financial counselling team would normally be the point of contact.
These are regulated, evidence-based cell therapies used in cancer medicine rather than clinic-style stem cell injections.
The clinic is at 7777 Hennessy Boulevard, Suite 212, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70808, telephone (225) 374-0320, open Monday to Friday from 8am to 5pm. It sits within a large regional hospital system. The website does not state when the cell therapy programme was established, what languages are spoken, or whether there is any service for patients travelling from other countries.
No prices are published. Transplant and CAR-T therapy in the United States are billed through health insurance and require pre-authorisation; ask the hospital's financial counselling team about coverage and out-of-pocket costs.
