Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, or CAR-T cell therapy, is one type of immunotherapy. Sometimes likened to a “smart drug” or “living drug,” CAR-T cell therapy relies on genetically modified immune cells to recognize and destroy cancer cells.

Comprender la terapia con células CAR-T para el cáncer: Experto de Mayo Clinic explica cómo funciona
Mayo Clinic

Para muchos médicos e investigadores, la inmunoterapia, que utiliza el propio sistema inmunitario de la persona para identificar y atacar las células cancerosas, es la mejor y la siguiente frontera del tratamiento contra el cáncer. La terapia con células T con receptor de antígeno quimérico, o terapia con células CAR-T, es un tipo de inmunoterapia. Ocasionalmente comparada con una "droga inteligente " o una" droga viva", la terapia con células CAR-T se basa en células inmunitarias genéticamente modificadas para reconocer y destruir las células cancerosas.
