Immunotherapy for Cancer - NCI
Immunotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that helps your immune system fight cancer. Learn about the types of immunotherapy and what you can expect during treatment.
Immunotherapy: How the Immune System Fights Cancer - NCI
2018年6月13日 · Immunotherapy uses the body’s immune system to fight cancer. This animation explains three types of immunotherapy used to treat cancer: nonspecific immune stimulation, T-cell transfer therapy, and immune checkpoint inhibitors.
Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors - NCI - National Cancer Institute
Immune checkpoint inhibitors are a type of immunotherapy that block immune checkpoint proteins from binding with partner proteins. Learn about the cancers treated with checkpoint inhibitors and the side effects they may cause.
Cancer Treatment Vaccines - Immunotherapy - NCI
Cancer treatment vaccines are a type of immunotherapy that treats cancer by strengthening the body’s natural defenses against the cancer. Unlike cancer prevention vaccines, cancer treatment vaccines are designed to be used in people who already have cancer—they work against cancer cells, not against something that causes cancer.
Side Effects of Immunotherapy - NCI - National Cancer Institute
Immunotherapy side effects happen when the immune system that has been prompted to act against the cancer also acts against healthy cells and tissues in the body. Learn about the types of side effects that immunotherapy might cause and where to go for more information.
CAR T Cells: Engineering Immune Cells to Treat Cancer - NCI
2022年3月10日 · Research on CAR T-cell therapy is progressing rapidly to improve the cancer treatment, expand its use to more cancers, and better manage its side effects.
Clinical Trials Using Immunotherapy - NCI - National Cancer Institute
Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
Types of Cancer Treatment - NCI
Immunotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that helps your immune system fight cancer. This page covers the types of immunotherapy, how it is used against cancer, and what you can expect during treatment.
Development of Cancer Immunotherapy
The objective was to amplify and unleash the body’s natural ability to recognize and destroy cancer cells. The resulting field, now called immunotherapy, has made important advances in cancer treatments using monoclonal antibodies and cytokines, as well as cell-based therapies.
Center for Immuno-Oncology | Center for Cancer Research
The CCR’s Center for Immuno-oncology (CIO) explores fundamental questions of cancer immunotherapy through rigorous preclinical studies and translates these findings into clinical trials with the goal of developing novel therapies for a spectrum of cancers.
