Current status and prospect of CAR-T cell immunotherapy for colorectal cancer

Journal Title: Journal of Surgery : Concepts & Practice - Year 2023, Vol 28, Issue 5

Abstract

Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy is a new method of immunotherapy for cancer that has achieved remarkable results in treating blood tumors. However, colorectal cancer(CRC), as a solid tumor, has different characteristics from hematological tumors, which impose certain constraints on the selection of its therapeutic targets and the effectiveness of treatment of CAR-T therapy. Therefore, it is necessary to select therapeutic targets with high specificity and effectiveness according to the characteristics of CRC, as well as to break through the constraints such as adverse effects caused by the treatment and the solid tumor microenvironment, to make CAR-T therapy applicable in the treatment of CRC. This article aimed to summarize the strategy of selecting therapeutic targets for CAR-T cell immunotherapy for CRC, analyze the restrictive factors of this therapy in the treatment of CRC, and forecast the prospect of CAR-T cell immunotherapy for CRC.
