Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma poses a significant challenge in hematology. BCMA-directed CAR-T therapy has emerged as a promising treatment approach in such cases. This specialized immunotherapy targets the B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) expressed on myeloma cells, providing a targeted and potentially curative option. However, challenges such as cytokine release syndrome and neurotoxicity persist, requiring careful patient monitoring and management. This Special Issue will explore the latest advancements, outcomes, and challenges in BCMA-directed CAR-T therapy for multiple myeloma, facilitating a deeper understanding of its potential in transforming the landscape of myeloma treatment.
We welcome original research articles and reviews focusing on mechanisms, clinical outcomes, and future directions in BCMA-directed CAR-T therapy.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Al-Ola A. Abdallah
Guest Editor
