The ongoing battle against cancer has seen a paradigm shift with the advent of CAR-T cell therapy, a revolutionary approach that utilizes the patient’s own immune system to fight cancer. This innovative treatment, coupled with gene therapy, is transforming the landscape of cancer care.
Unveiling CAR-T Cell Therapy
Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR-T) technique was designed to augment the body’s natural defenses by equipping T cells, the soldiers of the immune system, with engineered receptors known as CARs. These receptors enable the T cells to recognize and attack specific cancer cells, thereby providing a targeted approach to cancer treatment.
CAR-T cell therapy has proven to be a game-changer in treating certain types of blood cancers, such as B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, that had previously shown resistance to conventional treatments. Read more >
