ImportanceChimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells are T lymphocytes that are genetically engineered to express a synthetic receptor that recognizes a tumor cell surface antigen and causes the T cell to kill the tumor cell. CAR T treatments improve overall survival for patients with larg...
With this in mind, in the last decade, many efforts have been made to use other treatments for cancer in combination with tuberculosis to increase the effectiveness of CAR-T cell therapy, especially in solid tumors. The combination therapy results have promising consequences for tumor regression a...

approximately 10 million deaths worldwide each year. The most advanced, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell immunotherapy has turned out as a promising treatment for cancer. CAR-T cell therapy involves the genetic modification of T cells obtained from the patient's blood, and infusion back t...
This groundbreaking therapy modifies a patient’s immune system such that their own T cells can identify and destroy cancer-specific antigens by expressing CARs. Multiple myeloma, lymphomas, and leukemias are among the blood malignancies that have been treated with six CAR T-cell treatments that ...
Herein, we provide an overview of the current clinical status of CAR-T cell and OV therapies. While preclinical studies have demonstrated curative potential, the benefit of CAR-T cells and OVs as single-agent treatments remains limited to a subset of patients. Combinations of different targeted ...
Nevertheless, CAR T-cell Therapy remains a revolutionary therapy with high success rates, and may be an option for non-haematological cancer treatments in the near future. POSTED IN Cancer Treatments TAGS blood cancer, blood disorders, blood transfusion, immunotherapy READ...
Engineering a patient’s own T cells to selectively target and eliminate tumour cells has cured patients with untreatable haematologic cancers. These results have energized the field to apply chimaeric antigen receptor (CAR) T therapy throughout oncology. However, evidence from clinical and preclinical...
The use of this therapy in the last few years has been successful, with a reduction in remission rates of up to 80% for hematologic cancer, particularly for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and nonHodgkin lymphomas, such as large B cell lymphoma. Recently, antiCD19 CAR therapy, or UCART...
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy is a promising new treatment for cancer that involves genetically modifying a patient’s T-cells to rec
