重塑免疫：CAR-T 细胞作为血液肿瘤学的范式转变

Hematologic malignancies remain a significant public health concern in the United States, affecting over 1. 5 million individuals. Although chemotherapy remains a foundational component of treatment, the emergence of novel therapeutic strategies has transformed the treatment landscape. This review examines the development, mechanism of action, expanding clinical applications, and barriers to care associated with chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR T-cell) therapy. Relevant data was found via a literature search across major biomedical databases focusing on current clinical implementation of CAR T-cell therapies.

To date, seven CAR T-cell therapies have received U. S. Food and Drug Administration approval, demonstrating robust response rates and effective clearance of malignant cells in hematologic malignancies, including B-cell lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Despite these promising outcomes, CAR T-cell therapy faces significant challenges, including manufacturing timelines, geographic access limitations, and substantial financial burden. As the field continues to evolve, this review aims to provide clinicians with an updated synthesis of clinical outcomes, treatment-related toxicities, and persistent barriers to equitable access.
