Defeat Cancer through Therapy
CAR T cell therapy, a groundbreaking form of immunotherapy, is revolutionizing cancer treatment. This innovative therapy harnesses the power of the body's immune system to target and destroy cancer cells. CAR T cell therapy involves genetically modifying a patient's own T cells to recognize and attack cancer cells. This process begins with the collection of the patient's T cells through a process called leukapheresis. These T cells are then genetically engineered in a laboratory to express chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) on their surface. These CARs enable the T cells to recognize specific proteins, or antigens, found on the surface of cancer cells. Once the CAR T cells have been engineered, they are expanded in the laboratory to generate a large population of cancer-fighting cells. These modified CAR T cells are then infused back into the patient's bloodstream, where they can seek out and destroy cancer cells throughout the body. CAR T cell therapy has shown remarkab...
