Abstract:
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy, one of the most promising tumor treatments, combines the targeted recognition of antigen and antibody with the killing effect of T cells. CAR-T has shown a strong therapeutic effect in lymphoid tumors and been applied in clinical practice. However, in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), no effective and specific target like CD19 in lymphoid tumors has been found. Therefore, the key research direction is to try multiple probabilities and use optimization strategies to enhance efficacy and reduce toxicity. This review introduces the latest research progress of AML targets in CAR-T therapy in recent years, analyzes the related problems that need to be solved at present, and summarizes the optimization construction strategies mentioned in the research. Hope it can provide reference for related research and clinical application of related product.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
