Abstract

The use of immunotherapy has revolutionized the field of cancer management. Patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have a defective bone marrow immune environment. Understanding mechanisms of immunoediting and immune escape of AML are key for development of effective immunotherapy for AML. Multiple immunotherapeutic approaches for AML have been under development over the past few years and some are advancing toward late-stage clinical testing. In this chapter we will review our latest understanding of AML immune escape mechanisms and the latest clinical results of immunotherapeutic agents for AML, with focus in monoclonal and bispecific antibodies, adoptive cellular therapy, vaccines, and checkpoint inhibitors.
