TCR-T cell therapy for solid tumors: challenges and emerging solutions

With the use of T cell receptor T cells (TCR-T cells) and chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T cells), T-cell immunotherapy for cancer has advanced significantly in recent years. CAR-T cell therapy has demonstrated extraordinary success when used to treat hematologic malignancies. Nevertheless,...
