SCT Vs CAR T Cell Therapy
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

I was just diagnosed with multiple myeloma IGG light chain Kappa. I have bone lesions and will be started on VRd regimen for several months then referred to UCLA for possible SCT. Does anyone know if SCT is the right treatment or CARt cell therapy?

CA,T-T is typically only done after you have failed other treatments. It's not a first line treatment

I am not sure if you can get CAR T as first treatment? Maybe in a clinical trial?

Dawn,
I see Dr Larson at UCLA. She’s the best doctor to ask.

The car t is not as hard. I’m in remission now and I really don’t want to do either one. They are hard on you but they can be helpful. I have a bone marrow biopsy on Monday then go from there. Do research ask questions a lot of people on this site have had either or. I wish you well
