  Author(s): Christopher L. Penney*, Boulos Zacharie and Jean-Simon Duceppe
  
  Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is a newer immunotherapeutic process in which genetic engineering is used to incorporate a receptor protein into a patient’s T-cells thereby permitting the modified T-cells to recognize and eradicate tumors. Initially, CAR T-cell therapy was reserved as a last resort when standard cancer treatments failed to provide significant efficacy but subsequently, CAR T-cell therapy is finding use against earlier stage cancers. Since 2017, seven CAR T-cell therapies have attained FDA approval for treatment of hematological cancers. The latest approval, November 8, 2024, is for treatment of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. However, CAR T-cell therapy does not always provide a lasting anticancer response which leads to loss of tumor remission. The percent loss of tumor remission depends upon the type of hematological cancer being treated. A.. Read More»
