“CAR T-cell therapy, a cutting-edge immunotherapy technique, is engineered to target cancer at a cellular level.

If there were such a thing as a cancer silver bullet, it would be something that only targets those cells in your body that have gone rogue, while leaving the rest of you unharmed.

This prospect more or less sums up the hopes for CAR T-cell therapy (also known as CAR-T), an experimental cancer immunotherapy that basically sends out cells that are bioengineered to target and terminate cancer — and only those cells…”
