Patients should consult their care team to determine if they are eligible for a CAR-T cell therapy. As with all medical treatment, individual results may vary; not all patients will respond to treatment with CAR-T cell therapy. Individuals should work with their care team to monitor their status or treatment, as some who respond initially may relapse over time. CAR-T cell therapy is not available for all cancer types.
