Abstract
- Simple Summary: Glioblastoma is the most prevalent cerebral cancer in adults without proven therapy. Chimeric antigen receptor T cell treatment has demonstrated good clinical success in hematologic cancers. The application of chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy to solid tumors, such as glioblastoma, is currently the subject of scientific investigation. The creation of chimeric antigen receptor T cells and its iterations are briefly described in this article. Specifically, this study addresses the obstacles and hurdles faced and glioblastoma targets studied in recent years. This review provides the reader with a comprehensive understanding of the current state of chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy for glioblastoma and a clear understanding of each therapeutic target. Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive primary brain tumor with a poor prognosis following conventional therapeutic interventions. Moreover, the blood–brain barrier (BBB) severely impedes the permeation of chemotherapy drugs, thereby reducing their efficacy. Consequently, it is essential to develop novel GBM treatment methods. A novel kind of pericyte immunotherapy known as chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell treatment uses CAR-T cells to target and destroy tumor cells without the aid of the antigen with great specificity and in a manner that is not major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-restricted. It has emerged as one of the most promising therapy techniques with positive clinical outcomes in hematological cancers, particularly leukemia. Due to its efficacy in hematologic cancers, CAR-T cell therapy could potentially treat solid tumors, including GBM. On the other hand, CAR-T cell treatment has not been as therapeutically effective in treating GBM as it has in treating other hematologic malignancies. CAR-T cell treatments for GBM have several challenges. This paper reviewed the use of CAR-T cell therapy in hematologic tumors and the selection of targets, difficulties, and challenges in GBM.
