Chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) are recombinant receptors for antigens that redirect the specificity and function of T lymphocytes or other immune cells in a single molecule. The concept of using CARs in cancer immunotherapy is that CARs, which are programmed to target tumor-associated antigens, can be replicated rapidly and homogeneously. Direct infusion of these armed tumor-targeting T cells bypasses the barriers and kinetics of active immunization. This activity describes the indications, contraindications, and complications of CART treatment and highlights the interprofessional team’s role in managing cancer patients.
