Abstract
Chimeric antigen receptor Tcell therapy has been established in the treatment of various Bcell malignancies. However, translating this therapeutic effect to treat solid tumors has been challenging because of their inter-tumoral as well as intratumoral heterogeneity and immunosuppressive microenvironment. Local interventions, such as surgery, radiotherapy, local ablation, and locoregional drug delivery, can enhance chimeric antigen receptor Tcell therapy in solid tumors by improving tumor infiltration and reducing systemic toxicities. Additionally, ablation and radiotherapy have proven to (re-)activate systemic immune responses via abscopal effects and reprogram the tumor microenvironment on a physical, cellular, and chemical level. This review highlights the potential synergy of the combined approaches to overcome barriers of chimeric antigen receptor Tcell therapy and summarizes recent studies that may pave the way for new treatment regimens.
