Abstract:
[Abstract] Chimeric antigen receptor modified T (CAR-T) cell therapy is one of the important methods of tumor immunotherapy. The targeting, killing, proliferation and persistence of CAR-T cells are significantly enhanced than that of conventional T cells. After continuous improvement and evolution, CAR-T cell treatment has achieved excellent progress in hematological tumors and has received extensive attention. However, neurotoxicity arising from the treatment, also known as CAR-T cell relevant encephalopathy syndrome (CRES), has affected its clinical application. Exploring the pathogenesis of CRES and high-risk factors, and finding appropriate strategies is therefore critical for the prevention and treatment of CRES. Here, we take CD19-CAR-T cell treatment as example to review the symptoms and pathogenesis of CRES, discuss high-risk factors as well as coping strategies, in an effort to provide a reference for clinical treatment.
