Abstract
Purpose of review: Largely, treatment advances in relapsed and/or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) have been made in B cell disease leaving T cell ALL reliant upon high-intensity chemotherapy. Recent advances in the understanding of the biology of T-ALL and the improvement in immunotherapies have led to new therapeutic pathways to target and exploit. Here, we review the more promising pathways that are able to be targeted and other therapeutic possibilities for T-ALL.
Recent findings: Preclinical models and early-phase clinical trials have shown promising results in some case in the treatment of T-ALL. Targeting many different pathways could lead to the next advancement in the treatment of relapsed and/or refractory disease. Recent advances in cellular therapies have also shown promise in this space. When reviewing the literature as a whole, targeting important pathways and antigens likely will lead to the next advancement in T-ALL survival since intensifying chemotherapy.
期刊介绍:
his journal intends to provide clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts that review the most important, recently published clinical findings related to the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of hematologic malignancy.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, and T-cell and other lymphoproliferative malignancies. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
