Important Note
According to the NCCN Guidelines for Mantle Cell Lymphoma, treatment often involves multiple approaches—from targeted therapies (like ibrutinib, acalabrutinib, or zanubrutinib) to chemotherapy combinations to potentially CAR T-cell therapy. These can be expensive, making financial planning crucial. Your oncology team should be able to discuss costs upfront and connect you with financial resources.
