A Short Synopsis of the Current Status of Double-Stranded RNA-Mediated Immunokilling for Gastrointestinal Cancer

Significant advances in cancer immunotherapy have been made in recent years and one such tool is the use of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) which is the molecular pattern of virus infection which are recognized by pattern recognition receptors. The combination of dsRNA and its receptors induce a significant immune response and trigger cancer cell apoptosis in vivo. In this paper, the use of dsRNA in immunotherapy of gastrointestinal cancer is briefly reviewed.
