When you think of vaccines, you probably think of them in the context of preventing infectious diseases, like COVID-19, measles, and the flu. However, some vaccines can help prevent or even treat certain types of cancer. For example, the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine protects against many types of HPVs that can cause cancers of the cervix, anu...
T-cells are a kind of immune cell. They work to destroy outside invaders detected by your immune system. T-cell therapy involves removing these cells from the body and sending them to a lab. The cells that seem most responsive against cancer cells are separated and grown in large quantities. These T-cells are then injected back into your body. A sp...
Antibodiesare proteins produced by B cells, another type of immune cell. They’re able to recognize specific targets, called antigens, and bind to them. Once an antibody binds to an antigen, T-cells can find and destroy the antigen. Monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapy involves making large amounts of antibodies that recognize antigens that are usually...
Immune checkpoint inhibitors boost the immune system’s response to cancer. The immune system is designed to attach to outside invaders without destroying other cells, but it doesn’t recognize cancer cells as invaders. Usually, checkpoint molecules on the surfaces of cells prevent T-cells from attacking them. Checkpoint inhibitors help T-cells avoid...
Whether a person’s cancer can be cured depends on the type and stage of the cancer, the type of treatment they can get, and other factors. Some cancers are more likely to be cured than others. But each cancer needs to be treated differently. There isn’t one cure for cancer.
