Assan, B-cell Lymphoma, Kazakhstan

2026-2-6

Assan was diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma involving the stomach in December 2023. He initially received chemotherapy treatment in Singapore. Although the treatment was effective at first, a relapse was detected about a year later during routine follow-up examinations. The recurrent lesion was located in the stomach, and surgery was performed to remove it.
Following the relapse, Assan began searching for additional treatment options that were both medically advanced and financially accessible. Through an international medical referral platform and online research, he was introduced to several hospitals across different countries, including China, Turkey, and Israel. After a series of online consultations, he connected with Dr. Yajing Zhang from GoBroad Healthcare Group.

“Dr. Zhang carefully reviewed my medical records during the online consultation and explained that CAR-T therapy would be the most suitable option for my condition,” Assan recalled. “Compared with other centers I contacted, the treatment plan at GoBroad was not only clear and professional, but also far more affordable.”

In January 2025, Assan traveled to Beijing to begin treatment. He received CD19 CAR-T cell therapy and stayed at the hospital for approximately six weeks. The treatment process went smoothly, and early evaluations showed a positive response.

Since completing CAR-T therapy, Assan has returned to GoBroad for regular follow-up visits. His most recent evaluation, conducted one year after treatment, showed encouraging results: no evidence of lymphoma cells in the bone marrow or cerebrospinal fluid, and effective control of tumor activity in the stomach.

Physically, Assan reports feeling well overall. “My immune system was weaker for a period after CAR-T therapy, so I was careful to avoid infections,” he said. “I gradually started walking, exercising, and monitoring my health indicators. Over time, my condition has continued to improve.”

Beyond clinical outcomes, Assan emphasized his appreciation for the medical and support teams. “The doctors, nurses, and coordinators were professional, patient, and supportive throughout my treatment and follow-ups,” he noted. “The care experience made a difficult journey much easier.”

Reflecting on his experience, Assan shared that he has recommended GoBroad to other patients seeking advanced cellular therapies. “GoBroad specializes in CAR-T therapy, and that expertise is very clear. I’m grateful for the care I received here and hopeful as I continue toward long-term remission.”
