The redirection of T cells against tumors holds significant promise for the treatment of cancer. Two main approaches for T-cell redirection involve their genetic modification with chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) or the use of bispecific antibodies that can bind to two different antigens simultaneously.

On this episode of CANCER BUZZ, learn about these promising breakthroughs, the challenges facing their widespread use, and what your cancer team needs to know about the future of cancer treatment.
