ABSTRACT: The discovery of CAR T cell immunotherapy, also known as chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell immunotherapy, has added a new dimension to the world of cancer treatment. This is a gene-based treatment in which T cells from the patient’s body are taken and genetically engineered in the lab to grow receptors. T cells containing this receptor are then injected into the patient’s body to bind to the antigen on the surface area of the cancer cell and kill the cancer cell. Structurally, the co-stimulatory domain added to CAR T cells has now reached the 5th GEN of chimeric antigen receptor T cells. Chimeric antigen T cell immunotherapy is the first FDA-approved treatment for hematological malignancies that is both safe and effective. However, due to some challenges such as a lack of safety control, an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, ineffective T cell trafficking, and so on, CAR-T immunotherapy treatment for solid malignancy is still in the clinical phase. In the result and discussion, we have presented a survey of CAR T cell therapy with a combination of pharmacological drugs. The things we mentioned are that CAR T cell immunotherapy is innovative, suitable, elegant, and also controls synergistic anti-cancer effects. A better understanding of combinatory CAR T cell therapies provides fundamental information for improvement of those therapies, in addition to the article highlighting future opportunities, commercial advancements, and various applications of CAR T cell therapy in different cancer cells. In the entire review article, we have highlighted the neck and crop of CAR T cell therapy, from which it is easy to understand the therapy and the need for this therapy in cancer prevention and its progress.
