The problem of cancer is becoming more and more serious. As of 2021, the global of cancer patients has reached 14 million. Now how to treat cancer has become one of the key research topics. To treat cancer, people have found many cure methods, like salvage chemotherapy, radiotherapy, cytotoxic chemotherapy, and so on. But these therapies can only delay the patient's life. They cannot cure cancer. People want to find a therapy to completely empty the cancer cells. Until 1989, scientists have found a way to engineer T-cell called Chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) to attack cancer cells, CAR-T therapy now has four generations. Good results have been achieved in the treatment of B-cell malignant lymphoma. However, CAR-T treatment in the area of solid tumors now still has many challenges. Therefore, the topic of this article is based on this structure of CAR-T cells, The development of CAR-T cell therapies and clinical application of CAR-T to reveal advantages and disadvantages of CAR-T treatment in cancer.
