2. Cancer immunotherapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer_immunotherapy

   In cancer vaccines, the goal is to generate an immune response to these antigens through a vaccine. Currently, only one vaccine ( sipuleucel-T for prostate cancer) has been approved. In cell-mediated therapies like CAR-T cell therapy, immune cells are extracted from the patient, genetically engineered to recognize tumor-specific antigens, and ...

8. Cancer immunology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer_immunology

   Cancer immunology (immuno-oncology) is an interdisciplinary branch of biology and a sub-discipline of immunology that is concerned with understanding the role of the immune system in the progression and development of cancer; the most well known application is cancer immunotherapy, which utilises the immune system as a treatment for cancer.

9. Cellular adoptive immunotherapy - Wikipedia

   A major application of cellular adoptive therapy is cancer treatment, as the immune system plays a vital role in the development and growth of cancer. [1] The primary types of cellular adoptive immunotherapies are T cell therapies. Other therapies include CAR-T therapy, CAR-NK therapy, macrophage-based immunotherapy and dendritic cell therapy.
