摘要

Clinical issue

CAR-T cell therapy is complex and is now offered at a growing number of oncology centers in Germany. In addition to the initial CAR-T cell treatment, several advances and complementary therapies are available, which radiologists should be familiar with to properly evaluate treatment response and detect side effects early.

Standard treatment

In hemato-oncologic diseases, combinations of chemotherapy and targeted therapies are usually administered.

Treatment innovations

CAR-T-cell therapy combined with complementary immunotherapies.

Diagnostic work-up

For current indications, cross-sectional imaging—typically positron emission tomography/computed tomography—is used for staging and for evaluating therapy response.

Performance

The response rate is approximately 66.4% (25.5–90.9%).

Achievements

CAR-T cell therapy represents a new era in immunotherapy, and its recent advances mark a significant innovation in oncologic treatment.

Practical recommendations

Radiologists should understand the principles of CAR-T cell therapy in order to accurately assess treatment response and recognize early signs of potential side effects.
