?:definition
  • A type of treatment in which a patient\'s T cells (a type of immune system cell) are changed in the laboratory so they will attack cancer cells. T cells are taken from a patient\'s blood. Then the gene for a special receptor that binds to a certain protein on the patient\'s cancer cells is added in the laboratory. The special receptor is called a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR). Large numbers of the CAR T cells are grown in the laboratory and given to the patient by infusion. Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy is being studied in the treatment of some types of cancer.
