Abstract

The CRISPR/Cas9 system is an essential tool for treating cancer. In this paper, CRISPR/Cas9 homogenic orientation repair (HDR), NHEJ (NHEJ) and the DNA repair mechanism are discussed in this paper. Furthermore, CRISPR/Cas9 has been applied to CAR-T cells genetically modified, focusing on improvements in expression, survival, and the manner in which CAR-T cells operate, as well as their success against cancer cells. This article, we review CAR-T therapeutic approaches and their challenges in both solid and hematological malignancies. Utilizing CRISPR/Cas9 can address this issue by optimizing CAR structure, enhancing cell survival and enhancing CAR-T targeting ability. Problems related to cytotoxicity, targeting specificity, and safety remain. In this article, we suggest the optimization of CRISPR/Cas9 transmission, selection of appropriate target genes, and implementation of security surveillance and assessment. To conclude, CRISPR/Cas9 therapy may enhance efficacy and offer promising prospects for CAR-T carcinoma. But more research and experience is needed to make sure that it is safe and effective.
