Nandhini Iyer, Resident Physician at MacNeal Hospital, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Our analysis shows that patients from lower socioeconomic groups remain underrepresented in CAR T-cell therapy across hematologic malignancies.
Barriers such as distance from academic centers, cost of care, and limited caregiver support continue to restrict access.
Achieving equitable CAR T delivery will require dedicated resources for housing, caregiving, and financial assistance, ensuring all eligible patients can benefit from this transformative therapy.”
