Abstract:
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major contributor to global cancer incidence and mortality. Conventional treatments have limitations; hence, innovative approaches are imperative. Recent advancements in cancer research have led to the development of personalized targeted therapies and immunotherapies. Immunotherapy, in particular, T cell-based therapies, exhibited to be promising in enhancing cancer treatment outcomes. This review focuses on the landscape of engineered T cells as a potential option for the treatment of CRC. It highlights the approaches, challenges and current advancements in this field. As the understanding of molecular mechanisms increases, engineered T cells hold great potential in revolutionizing cancer treatment. To fully explore their safety efficacy in improving patient outcomes, further research and clinical trials are necessary.
