A Review on Anticancer Immunotherapy
Author(s): Hamna Rafi*
Nanoparticle-based drug delivery system is the emerging therapeutic strategy preferred for cancer patients to improve their survival alongside quality of life. Beneficial therapeutic strategies are the major goal in immunology and oncology. Nanotechnology introduces targeted site specific nano-medicine for which different phytochemical loaded nano-carriers made it easily accessible. Where chemo immunotherapy shows promising results in cancer patients it has some limitations as well. A detailed work needed to be done on immunosuppression of immune response and role of immune system in case of tumorgensis. Major hindrance arise uptill now is that immunotherapy down regulates the activity of immune system by failing to recognize tumor antigens by host cells. Certain immune checkpoints have been observed while performing immunotherapy. These immune checkpoints show immune resistance espec.. View More»
