Academic Article
Overview
abstract
Treatments in metastatic pancreas cancer remain based in cytotoxic chemotherapy, and novel treatment strategies are needed. Building on the emerging role of T cell therapy in hematologic malignancies and our understanding of the underlying biology of pancreas cancer, research is growing in the role of T cell therapy for patients with solid tumors in general and more specifically patients with pancreas cancer. This review will focus on describing the biology of T cell therapy and its current applications in pancreas cancer.
