Abstract

Cancer immunotherapy, particularly CAR-T cells, has transformed the landscape of cancer treatment, offering a paradigm shift in prognosis. To enhance the efficacy of cancer treatment, recent scientific endeavors have concentrated on harnessing the potential of Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) technology where they use this technology to cancer treatments and cancer immunotherapy including the engineered CAR-T cell. There have been a lot of advances including correcting genetic mutation, curing genetic disorders, etc. this review paper will cover cancer immunotherapy, CAR-T cell therapy  and it;s mechanism, successful clinical trials, ongoing clinical trials, the current limitations as well as the future advantages of this technology.
