Luis-Esteban Tamariz-Amador, MD, University Clinic of Navarra, Pamplona, Spain, discusses the findings of a study that aimed to assess the value of 18FDG-PET/CT for predicting relapse in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) multiple myeloma (MM) treated with CAR T-cell therapy. This method was able to detect the presence of extramedullary disease (EMD), paramedullary disease (PMD), and focal lesions (FL), and this could aid in identifying which patients are at greater risk of relapse. Dr Tamariz-Amador highlights the need to wait until 3 months post-CAR-T infusion for optimal response assessment. This interview took place at the EBMT-EHA 6th European CAR T-cell Meeting in Valencia, Spain.
