Establishing a successful outpatient CAR T-Cell program with cilta-cel: real-world experience from an expert roundtable.

In less than a decade since their first approval, chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapies have moved into earlier lines of therapy, shifting administration from an inpatient to an outpatient setting and increasing patient demand. Several CAR-T outpatient programs have been initiated to meet patient and institution needs, resulting in resource conservation, increased treatment capacity, reduced hospitalization times, and financial advantages. Ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel) is uniquely suited for outpatient administration, given its predictably delayed cytokine release syndrome

Cancer: a looming public health crisis in Africa-a call to accelerate equitable access to medicines.

The global incidence of cancer is on the rise, with Africa experiencing a particularly steep increase in both cancer incidence and mortality. This upward trend is driven by a combination of factors, including population growth, poverty, aging, urbanization, and the adoption of lifestyles that increase the risk of cancer. It is projected that from 2022 to 2045, the incidence of cancer in Africa will increase by 106.8%, while cancer mortality will rise by 111.7% if no action is taken. In contrast, Europe is expected to see increases of only 22.5% in incidence and 32.2% in mortality. Despite glob
