Article Title: | Cellular Therapies in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia |
Abstract: | Most adult patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) will die of the disease. The prognosis in all patients with relapsed or refractory disease is uniformly poor. Although allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) from a related donor offers significant benefit for some patients, most lack a suitable related donor. Therefore, alternative approaches, including unrelated, umbilical cord blood, and haploidentical allo-HSCT, are being studied. Reduced-intensity conditioning further extends access to allo-HSCT for older more-comorbid patients. Modified adoptive T-cell regimens, including infusion of enriched tumor-targeted donor and genetically targeted autologous T cells, and natural killer cells genetically modified to target ALL are under investigation. © 2011 Elsevier Inc. |
