Abstract: Chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR T) therapy is a novel immunotherapy, which has achieved great success in the past few years. The first product directed against CD19 has been approved by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of relapsed/refractory diffuse large B cell lymphoma in October 2017,which brought the management of lymphoma to a new era. Here, we review the recent advances and unresolved issues in this area. Also, we share the experiences from the CAR T cell trials ongoing at Peking University Cancer Hospital.
