Core Tip Chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy (CAR) has achieved remarkable success in hematologic cancers but faces unique barriers in solid tumors of the digestive system. This article highlights recent progress in optimizing antigen selection, CAR engineering, and delivery strategies, while discussing tumor-specific targets and clinical trials in gastric, colorectal, esophageal, hepatic, and pancreatic cancers. By addressing challenges such as the tumor microenvironment and therapeutic resistance, we provide perspectives on advancing CAR T cell therapy immunotherapy toward safe, effective, and durable treatments for gastrointestinal malignancies.
