Abstract:
Allogeneic stem cell transplantation has emerged as a potentially curative form of immunotherapy for patients with hematological malignancies that are resistant to conventional chemo/radiotherapy. Donor T cell populations targeting allogeneic minor histocompatibility antigens expressed on the patient's malignant cells are felt to be the driving force of the graft-versus-leukemia reaction, although to date only a handful of these antigens have been fully characterized. Recent data from experimental animal models and limited clinical data in humans suggest that graft-versus-tumor effects, analogous to the graft-versus-leukemia reaction, may be generated against malignancies of epithelial origin. This article reviews the results of a pilot trial demonstrating graft-versus-renal cell carcinoma effects following nonmyeloablative stem cell transplantation, highlighting the potential of allogeneic immunotherapy for treating cancer.
