CAR T – Cell Theraphy and Ethical Aspects (patients’ involvement)
CAR T-cell therapy has demonstrated high response rates, particularly in certain types of blood cancers like acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and certain types of lymphoma. It has provided durable remissions in some patients who have not responded to other treatments.
CAR T-cell therapy specifically targets cancer cells by recognising specific proteins (antigens) on their surface.
Besides the side effects like cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and neurotoxicity the most discussed topic is the access to treatment for patients. This in the light of the rarity of specialised centres and the expensive costs. This high cost can pose financial challenges for patients and healthcare systems, potentially limiting access to those who could benefit from the treatment.
Therefore, patients’ involvement plays an important role in the ethical considerations in the CAR T-Cell therapy.
