Has anyone looked into Car T Cell Therapy Immunotherapy for Advanced/Stage 4 cancer?
Anything that lessens the time in the production of Car T therapy that can assist patients hopefully achieve remission ... particularly as time is of the essence as they deteriorate quickly upon harvesting .... CAR T cell therapy is a type of immunotherapy used to fight cancer with a patient’s own altered immune cells. T cells are taken from a patient’s blood and changed in the lab by adding a gene for a receptor (called a chimeric antigen receptor or CAR). The CAR T cells are then infused back into a patient to find, bind to, and destroy cancer cells.
