Why do we not see curative CAR T-cell therapy in MM (compared to DLBCL and ALL)?

During the 46th Annual Meeting of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT), the Multiple Myeloma Hub spoke to Noopur Raje, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, US, about chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy for multiple myeloma (MM).
Why do we not see curative CAR T-cell therapy in MM (compared to DLBCL and ALL)?
