Abstract

Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) therapy has emerged as a revolutionary new pillar in cancer care, particularly in relapsed/refractory (r/r) B-cell malignancies. Following impressive clinical outcomes in hematological malignancies, the FDA-approved six CAR-T cell products for indications such as lymphoma, leukemia, and myeloma. Despite the numerous advantages of CAR-T cell treatment, several challenges exist that interfere with its therapeutic efficacy. Serious adverse effects connected with the treatment continue to be a major concern. In addition, poor persistence of therapeutics and antigen escape frequently result in tumor relapse. Exorbitant treatment cost further remains a significant barrier to its effective implementation, limiting its accessibility. This review presents progress of CAR-T research, the key obstacles that hamper promising outcomes for patients with hematological malignancies, and a few strategies to overcome them.
