“…While treatments for the cytokine storm do exist, psychiatrists can play an integral role in managing the distress that can occur when patients are in a delirium and experiencing altered mental status and potential psychoses. Given the success rates in providing remission for patients with treatment-refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia, CAR T-cell studies have begun for a number of other cancer types, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, multiple myeloma, prostate cancer, and breast cancer (Giordano et al, 2011; Ritchie et al, 2013; Deng et al, 2015; Porter et al, 2015; Cao et al, 2016; Drent et al, 2016).
