ABSTRACT
γδ T cells have been well recognized as a unique cell population that is actively involved in both innate and adoptive immunity of bodies. The features of γδ T cells, such as their major histocompatibility complex independent antigen recognition and their cytotoxic effects to tumor cells, make them as promising candidates used for cancer immunotherapy. There is a strong interest in developing γδ T cell-based immunotherapy for clinical application in treating cancer patients. This review discusses the progress of recent studies related to the γδ T cells and cancer immunotherapy, with an emphasis on the main characteristics of γδ T cells in several types of gynecologic tumors.
