Abstract

Scientists have identified a wide variety of challenges preventing the development of effective CAR T-cell therapies for solid tumors, but they are investigating just as many potential solutions. Progress has been slow, but many researchers remain optimistic that successful CAR T-cell therapies, either alone or in combination with other treatments, will eventually be developed.
