Using CAR T Cell Therapy to Treat Solid Tumors

Updated

Abstract

CAR T cells have shown significant success in eradicating hematologic malignancies but face challenges in targeting solid tumors.

  • CAR T cells are engineered to recognize and attack specific cancer cells by expressing synthetic receptors.
  • While effective against blood cancers, their efficacy in solid tumors remains limited.
  • Challenges in the solid tumor microenvironment may hinder the persistence and activity of CAR T cells.
  • New strategies are being explored to enhance CAR T cell function in solid tumors.
