CAR-T is a new technique for fighting cancer that trains a patient's own immune system to recognise and attack cancer cells that have resisted standard treatments like chemotherapy or radiation. Using this approach, a person's T-cells are extracted and modified outside the body to produce special structures called chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) on their surface. These receptors are able to recognise and latch onto a specific antigen on a patient's tumour cells when they're re-injected into the body, allowing them to destroy the cells.
