Autologous chimeric antigen receptor T-cells (CAR-T cells) have become a standard of care for hematological malignancies, particularly non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphomas and acute B-lymphoblastic leukemia. An expert panel from all certified centres in Czechia and Slovakia presents these guidelines for the grading, prophylaxis and treatment of common adverse events in adult patients. These include cytokine release syndrome, neurotoxicity syndrome, haematological toxicity, infections, and other less frequent but specific toxicities. These guidelines are adapted to the local state-of-the-art and are supplemented with concise summary tables designed for use in daily clinical practice.
