CAR T-cell therapy is a sort of treatment in which a patient's T cells (a type of immune system cell) are genetically modified to attack cancer cells in the lab. T cells are extracted from the blood of a patient. The gene for a particular receptor that attaches to a specific protein on the cancer cells of the patient is then introduced to T cells in the lab. A chimeric antigen receptor is a unique type of receptor (CAR). CAR T cells are generated in large numbers in the lab and then infused into the patient. CAR T-cell therapy is used to treat specific types of blood malignancies, and it is also being researched for other cancers. Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy is another name for it.

The global Car T Cell therapy market is estimated to be valued at US$ 1,085.0 million in 2021 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 24.5% during the forecast period (2021-2028).

CAR T-cell treatment stands for chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy. T-cell therapy is a sort of treatment in which a patient's T cells (a type of immune cell) are genetically modified to bind to cancer cells and kill them. Blood runs through a tube from a vein in the patient's arm to an apheresis machine (not shown), which filters out the white blood cells, including T cells, and returns the remainder of the blood to the patient. Then, in the lab, the gene for a particular receptor known as a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) is injected into T cells. Thousands of CAR T cells are generated in the lab before being infused into the patient. The CAR T cells can connect to and kill cancer cells by binding to an antigen on their surface.

 

Side Effects

Your immune system keeps track of all the compounds that are naturally present in your body. Any new substance that the immune system does not identify sets up an alarm, prompting the immune system to launch an attack.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is a method of modifying immune cells called T cells (a kind of white blood cell) in the lab so that they can detect and destroy cancer cells. Because it includes changing the genes inside T cells to help them attack cancer, CAR T-cell therapy is sometimes referred to as a sort of cell-based gene therapy.

This form of treatment can be quite beneficial in the treatment of certain types of cancer, even when other treatments have failed.
