Immunology And Immunotherapy

Cytokine based immunotherapy

Cytokine-grounded immunotherapy is a promising field in the cancer treatment, since cytokines, as proteins of the vulnerable system, are suitable to modulate the host vulnerable response toward cancer cell, as well as directly induce excrescence cell death. The potential of cytokines in the field of cancer immunotherapy is best exemplified by high dose IL-2, which can induce durable complete responses in a subset of metastatic melanoma and renal cell carcinoma patients.
