Rapid Recognition and Management of T-Cell Therapy-Related Toxicities in B-Cell Lymphomas: Crucial Updates for the Emergency Department

Program Overview

The advent of CAR T-cell therapy and bispecific antibodies has revolutionized care for patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas, but they also come with inflammatory and neurological safety concerns that may be unfamiliar to emergency department clinicians. In this activity, clinicians will learn directly from Drs. Joshua Brody and Jeremy Abramson how to recognize, evaluate, and treat these adverse reactions according to guidelines.
