Immunotherapy has over the recent past established itself as one of the more promising strategies in the treatment of several cancers. Among the described ones, the most efficient are natural killer (NK) cells and chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells and both of them are known to be rather effective in killing the cancer cells. Such interventions recently attempted to develop these immune cells have enhanced its beneficence and includes super NK and super CAR-T cells. Cell therapies both types employ the body immunity in order to achieve a superior Tumour killing mechanism over conventional approaches. In this sense, super NK cells provide an out-of-shelf, allogeneic solution that would minimize the early immunological adverse reactions, compared to super CAR-T cells where the outcome is more personalized, with impressive responses in hematological cancer diseases. Nevertheless, certain critical complications, including cytokine release syndrome and neurotoxicity have been noted which require more study and innovation. This review aims at considering the possibilities of these therapies, more precisely, speaking about the roles of such therapies, their functions, types and concerning the development of cancer immunotherapy.
近年来,免疫疗法已成为治疗多种癌症最具前景的策略之一。在已描述的免疫疗法中,最有效的是自然杀伤(NK)细胞和嵌合抗原受体T(CAR-T)细胞,众所周知,它们在杀死癌细胞方面相当有效。最近尝试开发这些免疫细胞的此类干预措施提高了其疗效,包括超级NK细胞和超级CAR-T细胞。这两种细胞疗法都利用人体免疫力,以实现比传统方法更优的肿瘤杀伤机制。从这个意义上说,超级NK细胞提供了一种现成的同种异体解决方案,与超级CAR-T细胞相比,它能将早期免疫不良反应降至最低,超级CAR-T细胞的治疗效果更具个性化,在血液系统癌症疾病中反应显著。然而,已经注意到某些严重并发症,包括细胞因子释放综合征和神经毒性,这需要更多的研究和创新。本综述旨在探讨这些疗法的可能性,更确切地说,是探讨此类疗法的作用、功能、类型以及癌症免疫疗法的发展。
