What is CAR T-cell Therapy?

CAR T-cell therapy is a type of innovative immunotherapy that aims at reprograming the patient’s immune system to fight against cancer. There are T lymphocytes that are genetically modified to identify and attack various types of cancerous cells or tumours in a patient’s body and cure cancer immediately or in the long term.

How is CAR T-cell Therapy performed?

The patient’s medical history and overall health are evaluated, followed by a test for any specific cancer characteristics being conducted, and the surgeon extracts the patient’s T cells from their blood in a laboratory setting through a process called leukapheresis.

These are then genetically modified with the help of a harmless virus that introduces a few genetic codes and forms the chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) on the surface of the T cells. These modified T-cells are cultured and multiplied to increase in numbers, and simultaneously the patient undergoes chemotherapy to deplete some amount of immune cells to make space for the modified T-cells.

These modified T-cells are infused back into the patient’s bloodstream and can now identify, bind, and destroy the specific cancer cells. Thus, they provide long-term immunity against the cancer and reduce its recurrence.
