[The current role of CAR-T cell treatment in lymphoma therapy: focus on diffuse large cell lymphoma and mantle cell lymphoma.]

Abstract

The aim of this work is to provide the information needed to adequately apply chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy in real clinical practice in outpatient, day hospital and ward settings, with a particular focus on patients with diffuse large cell lymphoma and mantle cell lymphoma, which currently represent the main area of use of anti-CD19 CAR-T treatment. The currently approved indications in both contexts are reviewed and the fundamental steps to follow in starting CAR-T cell therapy are described, as well as the data available in the literature regarding each previously presented indication.
