Treating hematological malignancies with cell therapy: where are we now?

摘要

Introduction: Adoptive cell therapy (ACT) is becoming an increasingly successful and widespread form of treatment for different types of cancer. Compared to chemotherapy or monoclonal antibodies, ACT is an active biological strategy, with infused immune cells featuring dynamic migration, expansion and long-term persistence properties. ACT in hematological malignancies offered the initial proof of principle of the feasibility for this innovative 'live-drug'.
