Research in Blood Advances proposes shortening CAR-T therapy monitoring period from four weeks to two weeks, as severe side effects peak within the first two weeks.

This change could improve accessibility for disadvantaged patients, save resources for treatment centers, and allow patients to resume normal life sooner.
