Chimeric-antigen Receptor T (CAR-T) Cell Therapy for Leukemia

Published:15 September 2020Publication History

ABSTRACT

Leukemia is known as a kind of "blood cancers" that is caused by the disorders of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). It is one of the most common cancers that spreads all around the world. Leukemia causes countless people's deaths every year, and people have been working on improving leukemia therapies very hard for years. The traditional therapies, including chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation, may either cause harms to the patient himself/herself or cause strong or weak immune resistance so that people have always tried to find some better ways for leukemia therapy. In recent years, as the new immunotherapies develop, they're gradually used as cancer therapies. For example, Chimeric-antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy is already proved in several researches and is used for leukemia in these years. CAR-T is a targeted immunotherapy for cancers. It is comparatively very safe and effective and would cause the least resistance since all the CAR-T cells are originally developed from the patient's normal, healthy T cells. This review would mainly talk about the research progress of CAR-T cell therapy in recent years, give some directions and advices in the later discussion section.
