Abstract: Ovarian cancer(OC)is the most deadly gynecological tumor.Because of its long onset latency and lack of early diagnosis,most patients are already in advanced stage at the time of initial treatment.In addition to the conventional surgical chemotherapy,in recent years,chimeric antigen receptor modified T cells(CAR-T)have received considerable attention in the research field of tumor system therapy.Various preclinical experiments and clinical trials have confirmed that CAR-T cell immunotherapy is a promising treatment for OC,and it shows the advantages that are different from other solid tumors,but it still needs to face many challenges.In this review,we will systematically introduce the latest research progress of CAR-T cell immunotherapy,including the biological understanding of CAR-T cell therapy,clinical application,challenges faced and possible strategies to improve the therapeutic effect.

Key words: Ovarian cancer, CAR-T cell therapy, Gene editing technology, Cytokine release syndrome, On-target-extratumor toxicity
