In some blood cancers, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has been lifesaving. These treatments are engineered with patients’ own T cells to express a synthetic receptor, or CAR, that binds to antigens to set loose a powerful immune response. These treatments can destroy cancer or produce a prolonged response in pediatric leukemia, B-cell lymphoma, and multiple myeloma; for patients lacking options, CAR T can seem like a miracle.
