supercharged cancer-fighting cells, which are then infused back into the patient to find and destroy specific cancer cells, particularly effective for some blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma that don’t respond to other treatments.
How it works:
T-cell Collection (Apheresis): Your T-cells are drawn from your blood, usually through a vein, and the rest of your blood is returned to you. Genetic Modification: In a specialized lab, a deactivated virus inserts new genes into your T-cells, creating Chimeric Antigen Receptors (CARs) on their surface, essentially turning them into “GPS-guided” missiles.
Expansion: These CAR T-cells multiply in the lab until there are millions of them.
Infusion: The lab-grown CAR T-cells are infused back into your body, often after a short course of chemotherapy to prepare you, where they hunt down and kill cancer cells.
