Partow Kebriaei, MD, of MD Anderson Cancer Center, discusses what to be aware of when treating patients who have undergone CAR T-cell therapies.

During this time, symptoms such as fever may not seem alarming but can be indications of CRS. It is important to carefully monitor these patients through vitals, daily weight, and mental status.
