Abstract

Treatments like chemotherapy for cancer have less efficiency and specificity than required; immunotherapy provides one of the best means to have specific and more efficient treatment. With the great advancement in molecular biology, immunology, and cancer biology specific treatments like CAR-T immunotherapy have been introduced. Out of the various cancer immunotherapies discussed here, CAR-T immunotherapy provides the most promising results against certain cancers. CAR-T therapy has been discussed in detail with fundamental discussions of the immune system’s role in cancer and cancer immunotherapy. CAR-T immunotherapy a version of adoptive cell transfer therapy has given outstanding results that were beyond expectations. Some of them are discussed with minute details on CAR-T immunnnotherapy in this paper.
