A new FDA approved cancer treatment is available exclusively at Oklahoma's City's Stephenson Cancer Center.
CAR T-Cell therapy is a new option for cancer patients whose conditions have not improved with standard treatment.
It's a one-time treatment that uses the body's own immune cells to fight tumors.
