Understanding Cancer Immunotherapy
Cancer immunotherapy encompasses a range of treatments that harness the immune system to target and eliminate cancer cells. Unlike traditional therapies, which focus on directly attacking tumors, immunotherapies aim to boost the body’s natural defenses. This includes monoclonal antibodies, cancer vaccines, cell-based therapies, and inhibitors/agonists. Each technology has unique mechanisms and applications, contributing to a diverse therapeutic landscape.
Categories of Immune Technologies:
- Monoclonal Antibodies: Engineered proteins that target specific antigens on cancer cells.
- Cancer Vaccines: Stimulate the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells.
- Cell-Based Therapies: Include CAR-T and TCR therapies, which modify patients’ T cells.
- Cytokines: Enhance immune activity or alter the tumor microenvironment.
- Antibody-Drug Conjugates: Combine targeted antibodies with cytotoxic drugs.
- Others: Innovative approaches such as viral therapeutics.
