Cancer Immunotherapy

Cancer Immunotherapy

• Immune cells that can be replenished after antibody treatment is stopped are memory T cells.

Antibody Treatment in Cancer Therapy

• Monoclonal antibodies are used in cancer therapy to block growth factor signaling, targeting specific molecules that promote cancer growth.

CAR-T Cell Therapy

• Adoptive T cell therapy with CAR-T cells involves collecting T cells from a patient, genetically modifying them to produce chimeric antigen receptors (CARs), expanding the modified cells, and reinfusing them into the patient to target cancer cells.

Strategies for Cancer Immunotherapy

• A main strategy for cancer immunotherapy is targeted therapy, which involves using antibodies or small molecules to block specific molecules that promote cancer growth.

Monoclonal Antibodies in Tumor Immunotherapy

• The purpose of using monoclonal antibodies in tumor immunotherapy is to selectively target and destroy cancer cells while sparing normal cells.

Advances in Cancer Immunotherapy

• Rational design approaches have largely supplanted the initial empirical approaches in cancer immunotherapy, allowing for more precise and effective treatment strategies.
