Abstract: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have inherent tumortrophic migratory properties and low immunogenicity, which allow them to serve as vehicles for delivering effective, targeted therapy to tumors. MSC plays an antitumor role by releasing some cytokines, which can be strengthened by oncolytic virus, antiangiogenesis agent, tumor necrosis factor guided apoptosis ligand, IL, IFN and prodrug. In addition, there are some advantages in combination treatment of MSC and others therapies.

Key words: Mesenchymal stem cells, Neoplasms, Vehicles
