Abstract

Immunotherapy of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma and pseudomixoma peritonei is a promising method and is actively developed to treat patients with these malignancies. The approach includes methods of adoptive cellular immunotherapy with local infusions of autologic activated or genetically modified lymphocytes and target drugs based on monoclonal antibodies, including immune checkpoint inhibitors.
