Abstract In the past decade, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy has emerged as a promising immunotherapeutic approach for combating cancers, demonstrating remarkable efficacy in relapsed/refractory hematological malignancies both pediatric and adult patients. CAR-natural killer (CAR-NK) complements CAR-T by offering several distinct advantages. CAR-NK cells do not require HLA compatibility exhibit low safety concerns. Moreover, are conducive to “off-the-shelf” therapeutics, providing significant logistic advantages over cells. Both have shown consistent results malignancies. However, their against solid tumors remains limited due various obstacles including tumor trafficking infiltration, well an immuno-suppressive microenvironment. this review, we discuss recent advances current challenges of immunotherapies, with specific focus on application tumors. We also analyze depth drawbacks compared highlight CAR optimization. Finally, explore future perspectives these adoptive highlighting increasing contribution cutting-edge biotechnological tools shaping next generation cellular immunotherapy.

The tumor microenvironment (TME) is integral to cancer progression, impacting metastasis and treatment response. It consists of diverse cell types, extracellular matrix components, signaling molecules that interact promote growth therapeutic resistance. Elucidating the intricate interactions between cells TME crucial in understanding progression challenges. A critical process induced by epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), wherein epithelial acquire mesenchymal traits, which enhance their motility invasiveness progression. By targeting various components TME, novel investigational strategies aim disrupt TME's contribution EMT, thereby improving efficacy, addressing resistance, offering a nuanced approach therapy.

Recent advances in neoantigen research have accelerated the development of tumor immunotherapies, including adoptive cell therapies (ACTs), cancer vaccines and antibody-based therapies, particularly for solid tumors. With next-generation sequencing bioinformatics technology, rapid identification prediction tumor-specific antigens (TSAs) has become possible. Compared with tumor-associated (TAAs), highly immunogenic TSAs provide new targets personalized immunotherapy can be used as prospective indicators predicting patient survival, prognosis, immune checkpoint blockade response. Here, characterization neoantigens clinical application neoantigen-based TCR-T strategies are summarized, current status, inherent challenges, translational potential these discussed.

Pancreatic cancer has the lowest 5-year survival rate (13%) among major cancers and is third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in United States. The high lethality this attributed to its insidious onset, late-stage diagnosis, rapid progression, limited treatment options. Addressing these challenges requires a deeper understanding complex tumor microenvironment identify novel therapeutic targets. Newer approaches like adoptive cell therapy have shown remarkable success treating hematological malignancies, but their application solid tumors, particularly pancreatic cancer, still early stages development. ACT broadly involves isolating immune cells (T lymphocytes, Natural Killer cells, macrophages) from patient, followed by genetic engineering enhance mount specific anti-tumor response. Various modalities are under investigation for including chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T), NK (CAR-NK), tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL), T-cell (TCR)-engineered cytokine-induced killer (CIK). Major hurdles been identifying actionable antigens delivering focused cellular therapies overcome immunosuppressive dense fibrotic stroma surrounding cancer.

The treatment outcome of breast cancer is closely related to estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone (PR), and human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2) expression. Triple-negative (TNBC) lacking ER, PR, HER2 expression has limited options a poor prognosis. Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) play role in promoting or resisting tumors by affecting the tumor microenvironment are known as key regulators progression. However, treatments for TNBC (e.g., surgery, chemotherapy radiotherapy) have non-satisfaction’s curative effect so far.
