What is CAT-T cell therapy？

CAR T-cell therapy is a type of cancer therapy that uses a patient’s own modified white blood cells to kill cancer cells. T cells are changed in the laboratory. The gene for a special receptor called a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) will insert into the T cells. Then millions of the CAR T cells are grown in the laboratory and then given to the patient by infusion. The CAR T cells are able to bind to an antigen on the cancer cells and kill them.
