Research Progress in Target Exploration of CAR-T Therapy for Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer

doi:10.19803/j.1672-8629.20250551

Abstract

Abstract: Objective To explore the advances in targets and applications of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy in the treatment of anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC). Methods Recent literature on studies on CAR-T therapy in anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) was retrieved to summarize the principal therapeutic targets, such as ICAM-1, TSHR, CSPG4, B7-H3, and ROR1, and their underlying mechanisms of action, and to identify major problems encountered in clinical applications. Results CAR-T cells exerted antitumor activity by targeting multiple ATC-associated antigens. However, their therapeutic efficacy was still limited by such factors as tumor heterogeneity, immunosuppressive tumor microenvironments, and potential safety concerns. Conclusion Insights into ATC-associated antigens and optimization of CAR design, in combination with integrated therapeutic strategies, may enhance the efficacy of CAR-T therapy and offer clues to precision immunotherapy in ATC.
