Using a new type of immunotherapy, scientists can modify a patient's T cells to attack and kill cancer cells. These specialized T cells are called CAR T cells. These cells can bind to cancer cells with an antigen on the surface, causing them to die. The cells are infused into a patient's bloodstream.

In order to prepare the body for CAR T cell infusion, patients may receive a short course of chemotherapy. This treatment creates a space in the immune system for the modified T cells to grow. It also weakens the immune system and lowers the number of immune cells.

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).

The process of receiving CAR T cell therapy is similar to receiving a blood transfusion. Patients are injected with the modified T cells through a central line. The infusion usually lasts less than an hour. CAR T cells contain a protein called a receptor that transmits signals into a cell. The receptor helps T cells identify cancer cells. This protein is also present in healthy cells in the body. In addition to attacking cancer cells, CAR T cells can also help to kill rapidly dividing cancerous B cells. This can help to improve the outcome of a patient's cancer treatment.

Some patients with lymphoma have received the treatment, and long-term remissions have been reported. A major barrier to CAR T cell therapy is tumor heterogeneity or the differences between the cancer cells in a patient's body. These differences can make it difficult for the CAR T cells to recognize the cancer cells. It's also difficult to find a tumor that has enough antigens to allow the CAR T cells to attach. CAR T cell therapy has been approved by the Scottish Medicines Consortium in 2019. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) in England has approved the treatment for some patients with lymphoma.
