After many years of disappointing results, the tide has finally changed and immunotherapy has

Description
Current comprehensive cancer care is centered on reducing the bulk of disease through surgery,
chemotherapy, and radiation. despite the increasing effectiveness of these cornerstones of treatment
and high cure rates of multiple cancer forms, cancer remains a leading cause of death. recent over
the past two decades, the emergence of treatments targeting genomic alterations has led to the concept
of “personalized” medicine. one good example is the use of small-molecule inhibitors targeting
mutations, an approach that has been shown to help shrink tumours, so tumor vaccines have several
potential advantages over standard anticancer regiments. they represent highly specific anticancer
therapy.
