Cell Therapy for Solid Tumors: An Innovative Approach to Cancer Treatment

Cell therapy for solid tumours is an innovative cancer treatment that uses a patient's own immune cells or donor cells to fight cancer, but its effectiveness varies by tumour type and patient's immune system. Although it offers new hope, it poses risks such as cytokine release syndrome and neurotoxicity. Recent advancements have led to better targeting, combination therapies, and next-generation treatments, with future research aimed at improving safety, effectiveness, and accessibility, potentially revolutionising cancer care.
