Abstract

hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver cancer and remains difficult to treat in advanced stages because of tumor heterogeneity and an immunosuppressive microenvironment. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is an emerging strategy for solid tumors, but optimal CAR architecture for HCC remains under investigation. This study compared second-generation (anti-GPC3 C…
