CAR T cell therapy: A Promising Treatment for Cancer

CAR T cell therapy is an exciting and promising immunotherapy treatment that enhances a patient's own immune system to target and attack tumors. It has shown remarkable results in some patients who have exhausted all other treatment options. The therapy involves modifying a patient's own T cells to recognize and kill cancer cells. The process includes educating the T cells with genetic instructions and designing receptors to guide them. Currently, CAR T cell therapy has been primarily used in blood cancers like lymphoma, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and multiple myeloma, with the potential for cure. The therapy involves collecting the patient's T cells, genetically engineering them in the lab, and infusing them back into the patient's body to attack the cancer cells.
