Antitumor immunotherapy for colorectal cancer has been studied at the bench and bedside for decades. Some clinical trials of cancer immunotherapy have demonstrated a potential benefit for patients with colorectal cancer, yet immunotherapy remains only an experimental option for this disease. Here, we review the major immunotherapeutic approaches currently under investigation for colorectal cancer, including cancer vaccines and adoptive cell therapy. Weakness and advantages of each strategy and progress in clinical trials will be described. Examination of previous and ongoing research in colorectal cancer therapy should define a path towards identification, approval, and mainstream adoption of colorectal cancer immunotherapeutics.
几十年来,针对结直肠癌的抗肿瘤免疫疗法一直在实验室和临床进行研究。一些癌症免疫疗法的临床试验已证明对结直肠癌患者有潜在益处,但免疫疗法对这种疾病而言仍只是一种实验性选择。在此,我们综述了目前正在研究的针对结直肠癌的主要免疫治疗方法,包括癌症疫苗和过继性细胞疗法。将描述每种策略的优缺点以及临床试验的进展。对结直肠癌治疗方面既往和正在进行的研究进行审视,应能确定一条通向结直肠癌免疫治疗药物的识别、批准及广泛应用的道路。
