Background:
The mortalities of hepatobiliary malignancies are high. With the failure of conventional chemotherapy and unsatisfactory outcome of molecular targeted drugs, immune-based therapy has become a new focus of research in hepatobiliary cancers treatment.
Data Sources:
We performed a PubMed search with relevant articles published up to May 2022 and the following keywords: cellular immunotherapy, hepatobiliary cancer, antigen receptor T cell therapy, and receptor-engineered T cell. Information of clinical trials was obtained from https://clinicaltrials.gov/.
Results:
Cell therapies for hepatobiliary malignancies are at early stage of development. The current review showed that cellular therapies are safe and feasible in patients. These findings provide an important platform for future lager scale clinical trials on immunotherapy in patients with hepatobiliary malignancies.
Conclusions:
With the continuous advances of cellular immunotherapy, the combination of cellular immunotherapy with surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy will be new therapeutic strategies for patients with hepatobiliary cancer.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
