Abstract
La inmunoterapia ha demostrado su gran potencial en el tratamiento del cáncer, una de las principales causas de muerte a nivel mundial, ya que incrementa la respuesta del sistema inmune del paciente que juega un papel protagonista en la defensa, progresión y pronóstico tumoral. La terapia celular adoptiva (TCA) ha sido una de las inmunoterapias más investigadas en los últimos años; ésta mejora el reconocimiento de antígenos tumorales y aprovecha los mecanismos efectores de las células inmunitarias propias del individuo. Ha manifestado gran utilidad en el manejo de diferentes tipos de neoplasias, logrando incluso la completa regresión tumoral. Sigue en investigación y desarrollo para aumentar su efectividad, especificidad y seguridad; ya que no está exenta de limitaciones y efectos adversos. Actualmente, en España se dispone únicamente de dos medicamentos aprobados por las agencias reguladoras que se basan en esta técnica, indicados en casos refractarios a otros tipos de tratamiento. En la presente revisión bibliográfica se exponen los aspectos más importantes respecto a la inmunidad antitumoral y su relación con la inmunoterapia; así como el fundamento, las diferentes estrategias y los desafíos a solventar de la TCA
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, and immunotherapy has proven to have great potential in its treatment as it increases the patient's immune system response, thus playing a key role in tumour defence, progression and prognosis. Adoptive cell therapy (ACT) has been one of the most investigated immunotherapies in the recent years; it enhances the recognition of tumour antigens and harnesses the effector mechanisms of the body’s own immune cells. It has been proven to be very useful in the management of different types of malignancies, achieving complete tumour regression in some cases. However, ACT is currently still under research and development to increase its effectiveness, specificity and safety, as it is not free of limitations and adverse side effects. Currently there are only two drugs approved by the Spanish regulatory agencies that are based on this technique which are indicated in cases refractory to other types of treatment. This review presents the most important aspects of antitumour immunity and its relationship with immunotherapy as well as the basis, the different strategies and the challenges of ACT
