In the meantime, more studies are being launched on immunotherapy as a treatment for oral and anal cancers that, likecervical cancer, are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). When it comes to melanoma, as well as kidney and lung cancer, a new kind of drug that blocks a protein calle...
diagnose and treat cancer, HIV / AIDS and other life-threatening diseases. Fred Hutch’s pioneering work in bone marrow transplantation led to the development of immunotherapy, which harnesses the power of the immune system to treat cancer. An independent...
Conventional cancer therapies are unable to specifically target cancer cells, which significantly restricts the effectiveness of the treatment and can leave patients with side effects and negative outcomes. Researchers at SRI are working on a new targeted immunotherapy for cancer, specifically solid ...
Aiming to increase efficacy of surgical solutions and patient outcome, immunotherapy for rare cancers is becoming a more viable option, providing much-needed hope and treatments for patients. With this study and others, immunotherapy is poised to transform rare cancer treatment and provide hope for ...
Immunotherapy is a promising new form of cancer treatment, but the supercharged immune cells it employs can become exhausted in the fight. Researchers in Japan have found a way to keep them going for longer, by rejuvenating them with stem cells. ...
Researchers at the University of Montreal Hospital Research Centre (CRCHUM) have shown that immunotherapy treatments against cancer could reduce the amount of virus that persists in people on triple therapy. In a study published in the journal Nature Com
improves the function of immune system cells along with all other cells in the body. This will enable the immune system to better fight cancer. Also, the instructions direct the immune system to eliminate cancer from the body. These instructions activate the immune system response against cancer....
neoantigens. “Cancer is like a person’s thumbprint; each person’s cancer is uniquely theirs,” says Bill Hearl, CEO of Immunomic Therapeutics, a clinical stage biotechnology company developing a nucleic acid immunotherapy platform with the potential to treat cancer, allergies and animal health ...
Just as with immunotherapy vaccines, oncolytic viral therapy can create a long-term, robust defense that trains theimmune systemto attack cancer over months, or even years. Current work at the OSUCCC-Jamesusing oncolytic virusestakes advantage of three categories of treatment – a virus, a cancer...
Cancer cells grow and spread by hiding from the body's immune system. Immunotherapy allows the immune system to find and attack hidden cancer cells, helping cancer patients live longer lives. However, many patients get little or no benefit from these revolutionary treatments. ...
