It sounds like researchers have determined that elevated cytokines(cytokine storm) creates an environment favorable for tumor growth. Circulating dead cancer cells can trigger elevated cytokines regardless of what killed the cells, be it chemo, radiation, etc. So the elevated cytokines increase the likelihood of the recurrence of cancer. They do not specifically call out CAR T-cell therapy, but from the studies it is apparent that the therapy frequently has the side effect of CRS(Cytokine Release Syndrome).
