Potential role of immune cell therapy in gynecological cancer and future promises: a comprehensive review

AbstractGynecological malignancies are most leading causes of death among women worldwide. The high  prevalence of gynecologic malignancies remains significant, necessitating to turn the novel treatment approach like immunotherapy, wherein cancer cells are killed by the invasion of immune system. In recent year, immunotherapy has mostly an advanced treatment approach to repressing the tumor cell s survival, proliferation, and invasion via the activation of immune systems. Moreover, various types of immune cells including T-cells, B-cells, and dendritic cells are associated with the immunotherapeutic strategy in cancer treatment. Although the significant role of T-cells against cancer is wel l established, while B-cells and dendritic cells also play an important role against different gynecological cancer by regulating the immune system. This review focuses on that arena and highlight the role of immune cells in the treatment of gynaecological cancer. Various immune cell-based anticance r therapies such as T-cell therapies, Adoptive Cellular transfer, B-cell therapies as well as approaches to Dendritic Cell therapies have been discussed in detail. Furthermore, the clinical settings and future avenues regarding immunotherapy on gynecological cancer have also been reviewed and illumi nated in the recent study.
