CAR-armed cell therapy for gliomas.
Year: 2019
Type: review
Abstract: Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-armed cell therapy has developed rapidly in recent years, especially in the treatment of leukemia. However, the treatment methods for solid tumors represented by glioma have not achieved the ideal therapeutic effect. This situation necessitates learning from chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) treatment in other malignancies and discovering the differences between gliomas and other solid tumors. The current design idea is to enhance the targeting, regulatory effects, and adaptation of CAR-armed cells. This review traced not only clinical trials, but also several animal experiments, which might promote the development of CAR-T treatment in glioma. Furthermore, we have discussed the obstacles to CAR-T in the treatment of glioma and the current possible solutions.
