Immuno-oncology innovations redefining cancer treatment in 2024

Drug Target Review

Cell-based therapies, such as tumour-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy, have also drawn significant attention following promising results in a melanoma trial. Individualised cancer vaccines are tailored to each patient’s tumour, helping the immune system mount cancer-specific immune responses that can boost checkpoint inhibitor efficacy.

CAR-NK cells: promising for cancer therapy

Drug Target Review

NK cells are among the front line of protection from infected and abnormal cells as part of the ‘innate immune response’. They recognise ‘cell stress molecules’ on the surface of infected, old, injured and cancerous cells without the need for complex pre-stimulation signals of the adaptive immune system (eg, T cells).
