This episode was very informative. The fact that there is ‘No free Lunch’ as was mentioned is glossed over by many if not most of the articles and news sources when it comes to new treatments that are very effective. It makes me reconsider if I would want CAR-T at this time since the current regimen of Zanubrutinib is apparently working without many side issues.
I too thank you for the information. CAR-T Cell therapy will definitely be a direction I’ll look at with my UCSF doctor if Zanabrutinib’s effectiveness wanes or becomes toxic. It’s been terrific for a year. I question it’s cost. I am generally excited about the progress of treatments for MCL. Tomorrow will only be better, though today has been mighty fine.
