    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Advances in immunological surveillance highlight the importance of host immunity in cancer management.
    • Host immunity plays a role in carcinogenesis, tumor proliferation, recurrence, and metastasis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To emphasize the essential role of host immunity in conjunction with conventional cancer treatments.
    • To explore the combined use of immunotherapy with chemotherapy and surgery for improved cancer management.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on host immunity and cancer treatment strategies.
    • Analysis of case studies demonstrating the efficacy of combined chemo-immunotherapy (e.g., BCG in leukemia).

    Main Results:

    • Surgical extirpation followed by chemo-immunotherapy is a key strategy.
    • Host anti-tumor immunity can selectively target residual cancer cells post-treatment.
    • Combined modality treatments show potential for long-term remission and preventing recurrence.

    Conclusions:

    • Immunotherapy should complement, not replace, chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
    • A combined approach leveraging host immunity alongside conventional therapies offers more favorable cancer treatment outcomes.
