The following can be limitations to a healthy, natural immune system's ability to fight cancer on its own except:
The immune system doesn't see the cancer cells as foreign because the cancer cells are not different enough from normal cells.
The immune system recognizes the cancer cells, but the response might not be strong enough to destroy the cancer.
Cancer cells can release substances that keep the immune system from fighting the cancer cells effectively.
The immune system is boosted by the proteins given off by cancer cells making it give a more robust response.
How is immunotherapy different than chemotherapy?
Immunotherapy attacks healthy cells while chemotherapy attacks only cancer cells.
Chemotherapy attacks both cancer cells and healthy cells while immunotherapy targets cancer cells.
Immunotherapy is targeted to one region while chemotherapy is systemic.
Immunotherapy is a surgical procedure while chemotherapy is a drug treatment.
PD-1 and CTLA-4
are targets for checkpoint inhibitors.
act as "off switches" to keep immune cells from attacking other cells in the body.
are viruses that have been modified to infect and kill tumor cells.
are target for CAR T-cell therapy.
CAR T-cell therapy
involves altering a patient's own T cells to attack cancer cells better.
can cause cytokine release syndrome.
prevents cancer like a vaccine.
causes checkpoint inhibitors to multiply.
An adjuvant
binds checkpoint receptors on immune cells.
changes the gene expression in T-cells.
can help boost a cancer vaccine's effectiveness.
removes cytokines from the body.
Cancer vaccines work by
preventing infections by viruses that can cause certain cancers.
increasing cytokine production in the body.
creating viruses that attack cancer cells.
exposing immune cells to cancer cell antigens to program them to fight cancer cells in the body.
Cytokines are
receptors on T-cells that help them to find and attack cancer cells.
messenger proteins that can direct the immune system response.
treatments that are normally used in conjunction with vaccines.
made in a lab to attack certain cancer cells.
Antibodies with no drug or radioactive material attached to them and are the most commonly used monoclonal antibodies used to fight cancer are
chemolabeled antibodies.
bispecific antibodies.
radiolabeled antibodies.
naked antibodies.
Bispecific monoclonal antibodies work by
blocking antigens on cancer cells to prevent them from growing and spreading.
targeting immune system checkpoint proteins.
binding both cancer cells targets and T-cells which helps T-cells to fight the cancer cells.
attaching mAbs to chemo drugs for targeted delivery to cancer cells.
Oncolytic viruses
cause cervical cancer.
cause liver cancer.
turn on oncogenes.
are manufactured in a lab and target and kill cancer cells.
