APPROACHES IN EMERGING CANCER VACCINES FOR NEXT GENERATION TUMOURS

The spread of knowledge, increasing understanding of how to communicate risk of cancer to the public, and greater public awareness of cancer, make the coming years ones in which we will see many new attempts at widespread cancer prevention programs. Immune therapeutics takes on added emphasis given some of the recent breakthroughs in vaccine development and targeted delivery. Substantial hurdles that remain to develop effectively therapeutic vaccines is with cytokines, and progress will come only with an increased understanding activity in animal models and in patients. The rapid elucidation of tumour antigens targets and increased manipulation of antibodies will become increasingly important in the treatment of cancer.
