Cells and cytokines in immunotherapy and gene therapy of cancer

Crit Rev Oncog. 1999;10(1-2):83-127.

Abstract

An enormous effort using a great variety of approaches has been undertaken in the last decade to translate basic and clinical research into successful cancer therapies. This review summarizes recent results of experiments and trials using cellular and cytokine therapy, as well as gene therapy, to exploit immune responses to tumors.
