Main Methods:

  • Literature review of current cytokine therapies for malignancies.
  • Summary of stem cell transplantation techniques in oncology.
  • Discussion of ongoing research in cytokine-mediated gene therapy for cancer.

Main Results:

  • Cytokines like interferons and interleukins are used as primary or adjuvant cancer treatments.
  • Stem cell transplantation is a critical component of cancer therapy and gene therapy.
  • Gene therapy research utilizing cytokines shows promise for future cancer interventions.

Conclusions:

  • Cytokine therapy and stem cell transplantation are integral to modern cancer treatment.
  • The combination of these therapies with gene therapy is expected to enhance efficacy.
  • Gene therapy holds significant potential as a future cancer treatment modality.
