[Cell therapy in all its forms]

Immunotherapy strategies have revolutionized the management of a significant number of patients in recent years, whether they are undergoing treatment for hematologic malignancies or solid tumors. This therapeutic class is extensive, ranging from antibodies targeting immune checkpoint molecules to adoptive cell therapy strategies, including bispecific antibodies and anticancer vaccines. All these strategies are currently in active development. Adoptive cell therapy involves the infusion of normal or genetically modified immune cells into a patient with the aim of restoring strong antitumor immunity, primarily associated with the cytotoxicity of T lymphocytes. Currently, there are three major adoptive cell therapy strategies: allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, CAR-T cell therapy, and TCR-T cell therapy. The objective of this article is to describe the mechanisms of action of these three strategies as well as their current advantages, limitations and constraints.
