In a significant development for older adults with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma (R/R LBCL), the use of CD19-focused chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy demonstrates comparable survival outcomes to those seen in younger patients. This finding highlights the therapy's benefits in older populations, commonly diagnosed with this form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. "Our real-world study confirms the feasibility of CD19 CAR-T cell therapy for patients aged 75 and
