These are recordings of Kite’s symposia at CANO 2023 entitled “The Role of Nurses in a Patient’s Path to CAR T Therapy and Post Treatment Care with Aggressive Lymphoma”. In this 3-part series, speakers from CAR T treatment centres across Canada will discuss the role of nurses in a patient’s path to CAR T therapy and post-treatment care with R/R LBCL. They will also share best practices on patient management and co-ordination of patient care between nurses at referral and CAR T centres. In Part 1, Laurie Ann Holmes provides an overview of the CAR T journey, while Giselle Wilson discusses nursing care prior to cell collection. In Part 2, Cheryl Page reviews nursing considerations around CAR T administration. Finally in Part 3, Rachel Nielsen wraps up the session with the topic of nursing care post-CAR T infusion, including long term follow-up and shared care. A brief panel discussion concludes the session.
