These cells are then genetically engineered in a laboratory, where a CAR construct is introduced into their DNA. The CAR consists of an antigen-binding domain, which recognizes specific molecules on cancer cells, a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular signaling domain. Once the CAR T Cell Therapy are modified, they are expanded in the laboratory to increase their numbers before being infused back into the patient's bloodstream. The modified T cells can now recognize and bind to cancer cells expressing the targeted antigen, triggering their destruction.

Moreover, CAR T cells have the ability to proliferate and persist in the body, providing long-term surveillance against cancer cells. CAR T Cell Therapy has shown remarkable efficacy in the treatment of certain blood cancers, particularly relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). In fact, CAR T cell therapy has achieved impressive response rates, with a significant number of patients achieving complete remission, even after conventional treatments have failed.

CAR T Cell Therapy has shown remarkable success in the treatment of certain hematological malignancies, particularly acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and certain types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). In clinical trials and real-world applications, CAR T cell therapy has achieved impressive response rates, including complete remission, in patients who have not responded to conventional therapies or have relapsed after prior treatments.
