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.
