Para muitos médicos e pesquisadores, a imunoterapia, que utiliza o próprio sistema imunitário da pessoa para identificar e atacar as células cancerígenas, é a melhor e a próxima fronteira do tratamento contra o câncer. A terapia com células T com receptor de antígeno quimérico, ou terapia com células CAR-T, é um tipo de imunoterapia. Ocasionalmente comparada a uma "droga inteligente" ou "droga viva", a terapia com células CAR-T depende de células imunitárias genéticamente modificadas para reconhecer e destruir as células cancerígenas.
Scott Holmes of Camilla, Georgia, is a senior nursing major at Georgia Southern University. This summer he became the South Georgia campus' first participant in PCOM's Pathways to Medicine Undergraduate Research program.
بالنسبة للعديد من الأطباء والباحثين، يُعتبر العلاج المناعي الذي يستخدم الجهاز المناعي للشخص نفسه لاستهداف الخلايا السرطانية ومهاجمتها هو الخطوة التالية والأفضل في علاج السرطان. العلاج بالخلايا التائية ذات مستقبلات المستضدات الخيمرية، أو ما يُعرف باسم العلاج بخلايا CAR-T، هو أحد أنواع العلاج المناعي. يُشبه أحيانًا "الدواء الذكي" أو "الدواء الحي"، حيث يعتمد العلاج بالخلايا التائية المستقبلة للمستضدات الخيمرية على خلايا مناعية معدلة وراثيًا للتعرف على الخلايا السرطانية وتدميرها.
