Is CAR T-Cell Therapy Possibly a ‘Cure’ for Leukemia?

Is CAR T-Cell Therapy Possibly a ‘Cure’ for Leukemia?
A new study found that two people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) remained in remission for more than 10 years after receiving chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy. One researcher said the study showed “CAR T cells can actually cure patients with leukemia.” The therapy has proven successful in other studies, though not all recipients have achieved remission.

 advances in CAR-T cell therapy at Mayo Clinic
CAR-T cell therapy is a treatment that harnesses the power of a person's immune system to combat cancer cells. In this regenerative immunotherapy, a person's T cells, or white blood cells known as lymphocytes that are involved in the immune system response — are collected and genetically modified to produce chimeric antigen receptors or CARs. They are then infused back into the patient's blood stream, where they target and destroy cancer cells. Mayo Clinic researchers are advancing and improving CAR-T cell therapy to expand its capabilities to treat more conditions.
