Currently, the method is better for lymphomas, but not for solid tumors. The drug is called CAR-T cellular immunotherapy, which is not a drug, but rather a way to use your immune system to get rid of all the cancer cells in your body. Because the drug is so expensive and not widely available, the general cure rate is not known, but some people at Shanghai Ruijin Hospital have been able to control the growth of cancer cells through this method.

I. The principle of CAR-T cell immunotherapy.

First, T cells need to be extracted from the patient's body, and then the chimeric antigen receptor, which contains a chimeric antigen receptor that recognizes tumors and is able to activate the T cells, is loaded into the original T cells through genetic technology. The modified T-cells are then imported into the human body, where they undergo diffusion in the human bloodstream and rapidly recognize and remove cancer cells through immunity. This therapeutic principle directly leads to the fact that this anti-cancer miracle drug cannot be mass-produced, and a personalized plan needs to be developed each time a patient is treated. It is because of the cumbersome steps and the different responses that have led to the high price of this treatment.

The treatment can bring hope to patients?

It is true that it can bring hope to some patients. Since the anticancer drug has been popularized in China, many patients with new crowns have called the hospital to ask if they can be treated with the drug. But for a variety of reasons, many patients can only return home. In any case, the anticancer drug is a symbolic milestone in the treatment of cancer, and I believe that in the near future, treating cancer can be as simple as treating a cold.

In addition, some online bloggers should not over-hypothecate the anticancer drug, as even doctors are not able to guarantee that the anticancer drug can play a 100% therapeutic role, but can only say that it can alleviate the patient's condition clinically, and that the real cure needs to be a complete remission of the symptoms in 5 years. However, the first patient was treated in 2021, and it is not yet known whether the drug will recur in these years, so we can only hope that the anti-cancer drug will benefit more people.

Three, the anti-cancer drug was approved for marketing in the United States, the specifics?

While it is still effective in treating certain cancers and has been given a chance to be marketed in the U.S., its price is really shocking. The online rumor is that the price will cost $465,000 a shot, or about 2.93 million yuan. Taking stock of the anti-cancer drugs that have been on the market before, the lowest price is 1.2 million dollars, how can an ordinary family afford such a price? So for some cancer patients, a cure may still be a luxury
