CARTsoluhoidot
CARTsoluhoidot, often referred to as CAR T-cell therapy, is a revolutionary type of immunotherapy used to treat certain types of cancer. It involves genetically modifying a patient's own T-cells, a type of white blood cell that plays a crucial role in the immune system, to enable them to recognize and attack cancer cells. The process begins with collecting T-cells from the patient's blood. These T-cells are then sent to a laboratory where they are engineered to express chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) on their surface. These CARs are designed to specifically bind to antigens, which are unique proteins found on the surface of cancer cells. Once modified, the CAR T-cells are multiplied in large numbers and then infused back into the patient. Upon reintroduction, the CAR T-cells are intended to locate and destroy the cancer cells that express the targeted antigen. This therapy has shown significant success in treating certain blood cancers, such as some forms of leukemia and lymphoma, and is an active area of research for other cancers as well. While promising, CAR T-cell therapy can also cause significant side effects, including cytokine release syndrome and neurological toxicities, which require careful monitoring and management.
