TABLE 1.

Comparison of different ACT.

ACT Type Advantages Disadvantages
TIL High response rate in melanoma; proven clinical efficacy Limited availability and viability of TILs; complex and time‐consuming manufacturing process
TCR‐T Broad applicability across different cancer types; potential for improved specificity and reduced toxicity compared to CAR‐T Limited antigen specificity; risk for TCR mispairing; complex manufacturing process
CAR‐T High response rate in hematologic malignancies; potential for sustained antitumor activity Risk of cytokine release syndrome; limited persistence and expansion in vivo; complex manufacturing process
CAR‐NK Lower cases of cytokine release syndrome compared to CAR‐T; potential for improved safety profile Limited persistence and expansion in vivo; potential for low specificity
CAR‐macrophage Potentially penetrate solid tumors; high phagocytic activity Limited clinical data; immunosuppressive effects
DC vaccine Stimulate a broad immune response; potential for enhanced T cell memory Complex manufacturing process; limited antigen specificity
