Abstract |
Antibody-based immunotherapy has become a standard treatment for a variety of cancers. Many well-developed antibodies disrupt signaling of various growth factor receptors for the treatment of a number of cancers by targeting surface antigens expressed on tumor cells. In recent years, a new family of antibodies is currently emerging in the clinic, which target immune cells rather than cancer cells. These immune-targeted therapies strive to augment antitumor immune responses by antagonizing immunosuppressive pathways or providing exogenous immune-activating stimuli, which have achieved dramatic results in several cancers. The future of cancer therapies is likely to combine these approaches with other treatments, including conventional therapies, to generate more effective treatments. |
