Not specific to CLL but informative.

CAR-T therapy is a completely new type of therapy that uses the immune system to kill cancer cells.

In some cases it has cured people where all other treatments have failed. Professor Karl Peggs, Scientific Director of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Blood and Transplant Research Unit in Stem Cells and Immunotherapies explains more.
