CAR-T cell therapy
Chimeric Antigen Receptor
Learning about cancer you may wonder in human body, we have T-cells that help us to fight against diseases.
When a person gets cancer why our T-cells don't work?
Our T-cells do help us, but the problem is cancer is kind of smart enough to fool our T-cells, resulting cancer duplicates itself nonstop.
Brilliant scientists Michel Sadelain of MSK and Carl June
University of Pennsylvania created a new therapy that can help our T-cells to recognize cancer.
This new therapy called Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cells.
In this process, T cells are taken from patient's blood and changed in the lab by adding a gene for Chimeric Antigen Receptor or CAR. This helps our T-cells better identify cancer cell antigens.
Then CAR-T cells are given back to the patients.
This amazing therapy is very effective and harmless.
It can cure CLL( Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia)
AML( Adult acute myeloid Leukemia)
Multiple myeloma and Glioblastoma( aggressive brain tumor).
I have researched this therapy a lot. In my personal opinion, this is the best way to fight against blood cancer types.
I hope in the near future we will find ways to treat other cancer types with CAR-T cell therapy.
