Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant disease in which clonal plasma cells proliferate abnormally. In patients with MM, the number and function of NK cells are suppressed, resulting in reduced immune surveillance and clearance of myeloma cells. Restoring or enhancing the killing effect of NK cells on myeloma cells is an important strategy for MM immunotherapy. At present, a series of great progress has been made in preclinical and clinical studies for NK cell adoptive therapy and CAR-NK therapy. This article introduces the current status of various treatment strategies for MM, NK cells in MM, and reviews the latest results of NK cell immunotherapy for MM.
期刊介绍:
Best Practice & Research Clinical Haematology publishes review articles integrating the results from the latest original research articles into practical, evidence-based review articles. These articles seek to address the key clinical issues of diagnosis, treatment and patient management. Each issue follows a problem-orientated approach which focuses on the key questions to be addressed, clearly defining what is known and not known, covering the spectrum of clinical and laboratory haematological practice and research. Although most reviews are invited, the Editor welcomes suggestions from potential authors.
