Anyone had CAR-T therapy for solid tumors? (pancreatic cancer)

I relapsed over a year ago. A spot on my duodenum resisted chemotherapy. I am not sure if my team even knew that the node was solid or not. They gave me 40% odds of a CAR-T clear, 30 days later I was clear with minimal side effects. In my view, life is about probabilities. And they are not always in your favour. I felt it was worth a shot. And retrospectively, it was.

Best of luck with whichever path you choose. Just stay positive.

Leukemias and lymphomas, like DLBCL, are hematological malignancies and are not considered "solid tumors" even if they do form a discrete tumor. B-cell cancers like DLBCL, as well as multiple myeloma, have been where CAR-Ts have repeatedly shown success.

In contrast, CAR-T trials on solid tumors like lung, pancreatic, colorectal, etc. have almost universally failed. It's comparing apples and golf balls.
