Efficacy of treatment with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes as adoptive cell therapy: an integrative review
DOI: 10.31744/einstein_journal/2024RW0935
ABSTRACT
Objective:
This integrative review article examines the efficacy of adoptive cell therapy using tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, with a particular focus on the treatment of melanomas and other solid tumors.
Methods:
The methodology encompasses theme definition, comprehensive database searches, and a critical review of pertinent literature. Of the 1,947 articles initially identified, 15 were meticulously selected based on stringent inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Results:
The findings suggest that tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes-based therapy is particularly effective in treating metastatic melanomas, as noted by its tailored approach and substantial potential. However, the applicability of these findings to other solid tumor types remains limited.
Conclusion:
This review indicates that adoptive cell therapy using tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes demonstrates efficacy, especially in the treatment of metastatic melanoma, and shows considerable promise for treating solid tumors.
