Panelists discuss how the choice between chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR T) therapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (auto-SCT) requires careful evaluation of multiple patient-specific factors. Medical professionals consider disease type and stage, prior treatments, patient age and fitness, cytogenetic risk, donor availability, and timing. CAR T may be preferred for relapsed/refractory cases, whereas transplant remains standard for eligible newly diagnosed patients.

Panelists discuss how patient-specific characteristics in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma significantly impact chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR T) therapy outcomes, suggesting that standardized treatment algorithms may need refinement. Factors like tumor biology, immune status, and genetic profiles could help optimize therapeutic selection and sequencing.

Experts discuss how, nearly half of patients diagnoses with HER-2 positive metastatic brain cancer do develop brain metastasis. It is thought that larger molecule treatments such as the monoclonal antibodies likely do not cross an intact blood brain barrier which is often why patients develop brain metastases
