Cancer immunotherapy, also known as cancer immunology, is a branch of oncology that focuses on harnessing the body's immune system to fight cancer. This approach aims to enhance the immune response against cancer cells, thereby improving treatment outcomes and reducing the need for aggressive therapies. Immunotherapy can be categorized into several types, including checkpoint inhibitors, adoptive cell transfer, and cancer vaccines.
Checkpoint inhibitors are a class of drugs that block immune checkpoints, which are proteins that normally
Adoptive cell transfer involves the collection, modification, and reinfusion of a patient's own immune cells, such
Cancer vaccines stimulate the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells by presenting tumor-specific antigens.
Despite its promise, cancer immunotherapy faces challenges such as identifying the most effective targets and patient
