The effectiveness of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for hematologic malignancies results from the donor immunity to antigens expressed in leukemia cells in the recipient. Similar immune responses have now been identified in patients with renal cell cancer with tumor regression after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Further studies to identify relevant antigens and mechanisms of resistance may improve the effectiveness of this approach in patients with solid tumors.
异基因造血干细胞移植治疗血液系统恶性肿瘤的有效性源于供体对受体白血病细胞中表达的抗原的免疫反应。目前在接受异基因造血干细胞移植后肿瘤消退的肾细胞癌患者中也发现了类似的免疫反应。进一步研究以确定相关抗原和耐药机制可能会提高这种方法对实体瘤患者的有效性。
