This presentation gives a thorough description of the CAR T-cell therapy process for B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-cell ALL), and discusses short- and long-term side effects and toxicities, expected outcomes, and ongoing research related to this therapy.

CAR T-cell therapy is a type of specialized immunotherapy that uses the patient's own modified T-cells to fight cancer. It is approved to treat certain blood cancers like lymphoma, leukemia, and multiple myeloma.

Multiple studies have shown that most patients who receive chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy report a good quality of life long-term. Learn how CAR T-cell therapy is performed and its short-term and long-term effects on patients and caregivers. Discover key differences between CAR T-cell, stem cell transplant and other and chemotherapy treatments.

This video will discuss why a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) may need CAR T-cell therapy; the steps involved in making a CAR T-cell product; how CAR T-cells are administered to patients; and both short- and long-term side effects, and outcomes associated with CAR T-cell the
