Abstract Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has revolutionized cancer immunotherapy, particularly for hematological malignancies. This personalized approach is based on genetically engineering cells derived from the patient to target antigens expressed—among others—on malignant cells. Nowadays they offer new hope where conventional therapies, such as chemotherapy and radiation, have often failed. Since first FDA approval in 2017, CAR rapidly expanded, proving highly effective against previously refractory diseases with otherwise a dismal outcome. Despite its promise, continues face significant challenges, including complex manufacturing, management of toxicities, resistance mechanisms that impact long-term efficacy, limited access well high costs, which continue shape ongoing research clinical applications. review aims provide an overview therapy, fundamental concepts, applications, current future directions

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is a cellular in which the patient's T cells are enhanced to recognize and bind specific tumor antigens. CAR was initially developed for treatment of leukemia, but its current main indication relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma. FDG PET/CT plays fundamental role diagnosis, staging, response assessment, recurrence evaluation patients with metabolically active Consistent examination's lymphoma management, also imaging modality choice evaluate before after therapy, evidence supporting utility this setting continues accumulate. In article, we review concepts lymphoma, emphasizing critical therapy. A framework presented that entails performing at four time points over course therapy: pretherapy baseline decision administer any bridging therapies posttherapy 1 3 months infusion. PET parameters assessed these predict various patient outcomes.
