Progress and challenges in cell therapy for blood cancers and solid tumors

AI simplified

Abstract

Cell-based therapies have shown promising results in treating hematological malignancies, but challenges limit their application to other cancers.

  • Numerous hurdles, including relapsed disease and a hostile tumor microenvironment, restrict the use of cell-based therapies beyond B cell malignancies.
  • Recent advancements in cell engineering and tumor microenvironment modulation may enable broader application of these therapies.
  • Innovations in gene editing and cell engineering are addressing longstanding challenges in cancer treatment.
  • A review of prominent therapies like CAR-T cells, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, and natural killer cells highlights their potential in clinical trials.
  • Emerging cell types and combination strategies are being analyzed for their future roles in cancer treatments.
