Abstract

Adoptive cellular therapy (ACT) is a type of cancer treatment using immune cells, generally lymphocytes, that have undergone ex vivo manipulation, expansion and, in many cases, engineering. ACT is now at a crossroads with the potential to impact every cancer including sarcoma. The alteration of T-cell specificity by genetically modifying them to express well-characterized, high-affinity TCRs allows ACT to target cancers with normal extracellular surface markers presented in the context of the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) proteins. When highly specific markers on the cell surface are available, cancer cells may be best recognized by chimeric antigen receptors (CAR). In this chapter, we will explore efforts to apply ACT both using TCRs and CARs to treat patients with sarcoma.
