Sotillo and colleagues describe the molecular events associated with apparent loss of target
antigen expression following CAR T-cell therapy. We propose that broader immune
activation is required to prevent outgrowth of tumor antigen escape variants following
targeted therapies. Cancer Discov; 5 (12); 1238–40.© 2015 AACR. See related article by
