Abstract

CAR-T therapy is a new clinical treatment option. It is the focus of an increasing number of researches, all of which suggested that it has a beneficial therapeutic effect on a variety of diseases, especially blood cancer. In this paper, clinic applications of CAR-T therapy for many diseases are listed, including B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, Hepatitis B, and Human Immunodeficiency Virus. The differences between CAR-T therapy and other cancer treatments like tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte and T cell receptor therapy were discussed, standard biological medicines, and antibody-mediated anti-cancer drugs. The study also looks at the limitations and side-effects of CAR-T therapy, such as toxicity, and missing the target. The disadvantages, constraints, and options for improvement were also discussed in the paper. To summarize, CAR-T therapy has a good therapeutic function on some illnesses, although it is still in the experimental stage and is not commonly used in the clinic. In the near future, CAR-T therapy is likely to be used in a rising range of therapeutic therapies. In general, this paper can help get a better knowledge of CAR-T treatment, as well as a more exact comprehension of its future evolution.
