CAR-T Cell Therapy Development for Bladder Cancer
There is a persistent need for new and more effective treatments for bladder cancer. CAR-T cell therapy stands out as one of the most promising options. Alfa Cytology is committed to developing targeted CAR-T cell therapies specifically for bladder cancer.
Introduction to CAR-T Cell Therapy for Bladder Cancer
CAR-T (chimeric antigen receptor T cell) therapy represents a revolutionary advancement in bladder cancer treatment by harnessing the power of genetically modified T cells to attack cancer cells. This therapy involves modifying a patient's T cells to express chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) that recognize specific surface antigens on bladder cancer cells. CAR-T therapy is distinct in its ability to directly target surface antigens without relying on MHC presentation, making it a highly effective approach for cancers with known surface markers.
