Cancer Immunology & Immunotherapy
Cancer immunology is the study of the complex interactions between cancer cells and the immune system. It is a rapidly evolving field focused on understanding immunodiagnostics, identifying cancer-related biomarkers, and developing innovative immunotherapeutic strategies. Cancer immunotherapy harnesses components of the immune system to fight cancer and has become a promising approach in cancer treatment. Some therapies use antibodies that specifically bind to and block the activity of proteins expressed by cancer cells. Other forms of immunotherapy include T cell infusions and cancer vaccines, which aim to stimulate the immune system to recognize and destroy cancerous cells.
