Current and emerging strategies for engineered cell therapies: cancer immunotherapy
Cancer accounted for almost 10 million deaths in 2020, according to the World Health Organization, making this condition the cause of nearly one out of six deaths worldwide. Conventional treatments for cancer such as surgery, radiation and chemotherapy have been used for decades to help patients. However, issues such as aggressive treatments, long-term administration and side effects have led researchers to look elsewhere, within the realm of biologics and personalised treatments, at new cancer therapies.
Innovation in immunotherapy has enabled many cancer patients to benefit from cell therapy. However, there is still much work to be done in this area. Learn more in this ebook about the topics below:
