I think it's because there are other drugs that can work well without the extreme measures of a CAR-T procedure. I think they even prefer a Stem cell transplant before CAR T, but not sure. Car-T is newer. I agree w/ the other comment from Teese, to ask your doctor. That is something he/she should be explaining while discussing your options. Never be shy about asking your doctor questions. That is what they are there for.

That is a valid question for your oncologist to be straightforward about answering. Please let us know the answer you get.
