FAQ: What are CAR T-cells used for?

CAR T-cells are primarily used for the treatment of certain types of blood cancers, particularly leukemia and lymphoma. They have shown remarkable success in treating relapsed or refractory cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), among others.
