How does CAR T-cell therapy work for lymphoma?

101

Reprogramming a patient's immune system to specifically target and eliminate cancer cells is how CAR-T cell therapy for lymphoma operates. The lymphatic system, which includes the spleen, bone marrow, and lymph nodes, is impacted by lymphoma, a form of blood cancer. CAR-T therapy involves removing and genetically modifying the patient's own T cells, which are an essential part of the immune system, to produce chimeric antigen receptors (CARs). These CARs are specifically made to recognize antigens on the surface of lymphoma cells, like CD19, a protein frequently found on B-cell lymphomas.

 

Leukapheresis, a technique that separates white blood cells from the rest of the blood, is used to collect T cells at the start of the treatment. The CAR, which is basically a synthetic receptor that can attach to the target antigen (such as CD19) on lymphoma cells, is then transferred to the T cells through genetic modification in the lab. After being produced in vast quantities in the lab, these altered T cells are infused into the patient.

 

When conventional treatments like chemotherapy or radiation are not able to cure relapse or persistent B-cell lymphoma, CAR-T therapy is very successful. Given its effectiveness, the treatment has the potential to generate side effects such as neuropathy and cytokine release syndrome (CRS), all of which call for close observation. CAR-T treatment, however, presents a viable route to remission or perhaps a possible cure for an extensive number of lymphoma patients.
