Abstract:

Pancreatic canceris a highly malignant tumorand its incidence has been increasing year byyear. There is currently a lack of particularly good screeningdetection and treatment approach. Thereforeit′surgent to develop and find new effective and safe treatments for pancreatic cancer. In recent yearschimeric antigenreceptor T⁃cell immunotherapyCAR⁃Thas made a major breakthrough in cancer treatment.As one of the effectivetreatment modalities for malignant tumorsthe effect of CAR⁃T cell therapy can last for several yearstending tolong ⁃term anti ⁃tumor memoryand can effectively prevent recurrence. The technology is advancing rapidlywithnew advances occurring almost on a monthly basisand eradication of pancreatic cancer may be substantiallyimproved. This article provides a brief overview of the basic components of CAR⁃Tthe popular targets for pancreaticcancer and the main challenges they faceand summarizes the recent new advances on CAR⁃T research and thedirection of problem solving to provide research ideas for the subsequent treatment of pancreatic cancer.
