Can CAR T-cell therapy work on mantle cell lymphoma?
Yes, CAR T-cell therapy can work for mantle cell lymphoma. It's approved specifically for relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma, meaning when the cancer returns after treatment or doesn't respond to other therapies.
Two CAR T-cell therapies are available for mantle cell lymphoma:
- Brexucabtagene autoleucel (Tecartus)
- Lisocabtagene maraleucel (Breyanzi)
Since you're currently in remission after R-CHOP and stem cell transplant, that's great news. CAR T-cell therapy would typically be considered if your lymphoma were to relapse in the future or become resistant to treatment.
It's worth discussing with your oncologist as part of your long-term treatment plan, so you know what options would be available if needed down the road. For now, enjoy your remission and keep up with your regular monitoring appointments.
