摘要: Immunotherapy for melanoma has undergone significant change since the first attempts to treat patients with high dose IL-2. Herein, strategies boost patient antitumor immunity through vaccination, treatment agents that augment host immunity, and adoptive cell transfer will be discussed. The two have yielded only limited clinical success, but therapy, particularly following a lymphodepleting, preconditioning regimen resulted in objective response rates approaching 50%. For number of reasons, lymphodepletion appears critical maintenance circulating T cells transfer. Balancing efficacy, autoimmunity, reconstitution functioning immune system remain challenging potentially life-threatening issues.
