Ahmed Galal, MD, FRACP, MSc

I work in the department of cell therapy and malignant hematology. My work is currently focused toward lymphoma and all its subtypes, whether it is B or T lymphoma. I also do the CAR T-cell, which is the most recent way to treat lymphoma, especially lymphoma that’s refractory and relapsed after two lines of therapy. It is a targeted therapy that goes directly to the tumor cells and deals with it without killing normal cells. I love interacting with patients; sometimes I cannot help but be involved heavily with their care. We develop a physician-patient relationship, and I really love to follow up closely on their disease and their progress. I communicate closely with my patients to make sure their concerns are taken care of. It is very rewarding for me to sit with a patient and tell them they are in complete remission. It’s like a new era has opened for them. I love to see my patients doing well, and they’re always on my mind. I love my work.
