What Cancers Can Be Treated with CAR T-Cell Therapy?

CAR T-cell therapy (Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell therapy) has revolutionized cancer treatment, especially for certain types of blood cancers. This innovative therapy involves modifying a patient’s own T-cells to recognize and attack cancer cells more effectively.  It has shown promise in treating various cancers, primarily blood cancers (hematologic malignancies). It has shown remarkable promise, particularly for cancers that are resistant to traditional treatments. 

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is a type of cancer that begins in the lymphatic system, which is part of the body’s immune system. Among the various subtypes of NHL, B-cell lymphoma is the most commonly treated with CAR T-cell therapy. This is the most aggressive and common form of B-cell lymphoma. CAR T-cell therapy has proven effective, particularly for patients whose lymphoma has relapsed or does not respond to traditional therapies.

While CAR T-cell therapy has shown incredible success in treating blood cancers, its application in treating solid tumors (such as breast, lung, or prostate cancer) remains limited. The main challenges for solid tumors include the difficulty in identifying effective target proteins, as well as issues with the tumor microenvironment that can hinder the effectiveness of CAR T-cells.

CAR T-cell therapy has become a groundbreaking treatment for certain types of blood cancers, offering new hope to patients with lymphoma, leukemia, and multiple myeloma, especially those who have not responded well to traditional treatments. As the field evolves, we can expect even more cancers to be treated with this innovative therapy.
