CAR T-Cell Therapy: Who Might Benefit?
CAR T-cell therapy may be beneficial for individuals with certain types of cancer, including:
- B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma
- Chronic lymphocytic leukemia
- Multiple myeloma
- Acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Patients who have relapsed or are refractory to standard treatments may be candidates for CAR T-cell therapy. Additionally, individuals with high-risk or aggressive forms of cancer may also be considered for this therapy.
The decision to use CAR T-cell therapy is made on a case-by-case basis, taking into account factors such as the patient's overall health, the type and stage of cancer, and the potential risks and benefits of treatment.
