The State of Cellular Adoptive Immunotherapy for Neuroblastoma and Other Pediatric Solid Tumors
Research on adult cancer immunotherapy is proceeding at a rapid pace resulting in an impressive success rate exemplified by a few high profile cases. However, this momentum is not readily extended to pediatric immunotherapy, and it is not for lack of trying. Though reasons for the slower advance are not apparent, some issues can be raised. Pediatric cancer patients represent a distinct demograp...
متن کاملImmunotherapy for Pediatric Brain Tumors
Malignant brain tumors are the most common cause of solid cancer death in children. New targeted therapies are vital to improve treatment outcomes, but must be developed to enable trafficking across the blood brain barrier (BBB). Since activated T cells cross the BBB, cancer immunotherapy can be harnessed to unlock the cytotoxic potential of the immune system. However, standard of care treatmen...
متن کاملNonmyeloablative allogeneic immunotherapy for solid tumors.
Over the past decade, considerable advances have been made in the field of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Recognition that transplanted donor immune cells can cure patients with leukemia has led to the development of nonmyeloablative or "low-intensity" conditioning regimens, which have expanded the application of allogeneic transplantation to a growing number of hematologic...
متن کاملB7-h3-specific engager T cells for the immunotherapy of pediatric solid tumors
Background B7-H3 positive tumors, including osteosarcoma, neuroblastoma, and high grade glioma, cause significant morbidity and mortality despite aggressive multimodality treatments. Current B7-H3-targeted immune-therapies take advantage of the monoclonal antibody 8H9, which is actively being evaluated in Phase I clinical trials. Engager T cells, which secrete bispecific engager molecules consi...
متن کاملAdvances in Cancer Immunotherapy in Solid Tumors
Immunotherapy is heralded as one of the most important advances in oncology. Until recently, only limited immunotherapeutic options were available in selected immunogenic cancers like melanoma and renal cell carcinomas. Nowadays, there is an improved understanding that anti-tumor immunity is controlled by a delicate balance in the tumor microenvironment between immune stimulatory and immune inh...
