For many types of cancer, immunotherapy, a type of biologic therapy, has been a game changer. Why? Precision medicine is at the heart of immunotherapy, currently one of the hottest areas of cancer research. Immunotherapy harnesses the power of our immune systems to identify and control diseases...

As previously published inNatureand presented at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) 2022 last November, the technology was further developed by PACT Pharma, using CRISPR gene editing to insert genes into immune cells to efficiently redirect them to recognize mutations in ...
First-line therapy for advanced/metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer Checkpoint pathways in NSCLC Immunotherapy for NSCLC—proof of principle Moving to first-line: PD-(L)1 inhibitors as monotherapy and PD-L1 as a biomarker First-line combinations: PD-(L)1 inhibitors with platinum-based chemother...
Immunotherapy, particularly CAR T-Cell treatment for cancer, is extending the lives of many patients. But sometimes the therapy randomly migrates to places it shouldn't go, tucking into the lungs or other noncancerous tissue and causing toxic side effects. A University of Rochester/Wilmot Cancer...
Radically new immunotherapy approaches have been proposed, which target the immune system, rather than the cancer itself. Promising preliminary results on subsets of patients have led to a surge in research and clinical trials investigating the potential for combining new immunomodulatory agents with ...
Your doctor may suggest you take any of the targeted therapy drugs now approved by the FDA for metastatic breast cancer along with chemotherapy. Immunotherapy This may be a part of treatment if you have these types of cancer cells: Triple-negative ...
This created a new opening for cancer therapy, the researchers thought. If cold tumors were treated with a TGF-Beta blocker, it would open the door for immunotherapy to drive tumor-killing lymphocytes to the cold tumor and defeat it.
People have been working on cancer immunotherapy, which turns a patient’s immune system against cancer cells, for decades. Scientists in the field have developed drugs that produce some remarkable results in patients with aggressive, late-stage cancers. But most next-generation cancer immunotherapies...
The 5-year survival rate is > 85% but this rapidly decreases to <10% for late diagnosis of metastasized cancer [164]. Consequently, patient prognosis and treatment options highly depend on the stage of the disease. gFOBT is based on blood detection in feces and despite its high specificity...
