CAR-T cell therapy Challenges and strategies in breast cancer.

Challenge Strategies
Trafficking and infiltration Designing better matched chemokine receptors on CAR-T cell.
Using oncolytic viruses to drive CAR-T cells traffic to tumor sites.
Local administration.
Constructing CARs to degrades extracellular matrix of tumor cells.
Targeting the fibroblast activation protein.
Tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment Constructing T cells with TGFβ receptor.
Introducing cytokines (such as IL-2, IL-15, IL-12) neutralize immunosuppressive factors.
Combing with checkpoint inhibitors.
Tumor antigen heterogeneity Developing multitarget CAR-T cells.
Toxicities Developing multitarget CAR-T cells.
Developing affinity-tuned CAR-T cells.
Developing inhibitory CAR-T cells.
Introducing suicide genes to CAR-T cells.
Using transient RNA expression of CARs.
