Abstract
Plasma cell myeloma (multiple myeloma) is a blood cancer characterized by the clonal proliferation of plasma cells in the bone marrow. Treatment strategies evolve year by year, new drugs getting Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved each year. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) therapies are an advanced form of immunotherapy that engineer T cells to recognize and destroy cancer cells. In recent years, adoptive cellular therapies have been successfully used to treat relapsed or refractory patients. Now, growing evidence supports their effectiveness when used earlier in treatment, even as an alternative to autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Ongoing research is expanding CAR therapy to solid tumors and enhancing safety and efficacy through innovative designs and combination strategies. In this paper, we aim to highlight the brief history and the latest advancements in CAR T-cell and NK-cell therapies for plasma cell myeloma.
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.
