Immunotherapy – Concept Turned Reality

While using the body’s own immune system as a therapeutic approach to fight cancer is not a new concept in oncology, recent successes in clinical studies are making immunotherapy a reality, as it exploits the antitumor capabilities of resident immune cells within the body.

This white paper provides an overview of the immune system and its role in cancer immunity, including:

• Checkpoint inhibitors as immunotherapeutic agents
• CTLA-4 – The first immune checkpoint receptor to be clinically targeted
• Blocking PD-1/PD-L1
• New therapeutics, new problems: understanding tumor flare
