Excerpt

The pharmacist has a key role in the management of CAR-T therapies. Selection, ordering, reception, storage, preparation of the product for infusion, and dispensing of CAR-T therapies are some of the pharmacy service responsibilities (Black 2018; Moreno-Martínez et al. 2020; Booth et al. 2020). The pharmacist requires specific training, ensuring coordination with all the professionals in the multidisciplinary team who are involved in the management of these therapies, as summarized in Table 41.1.
