Tumor Immunotherapy

Tumor Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy is a treatment that boosts or manipulates the immune system to fight diseases, including cancer. For instance, by stimulating an immune response through vaccinations against viruses that cause cancers, like hepatitis B virus and human papillomavirus, these diseases can be prevented. Nonetheless, some cancer cells can avoid the immune system due to their rapid mutation and division. The immune response to many cancers involves three phases: elimination, equilibrium, and escape.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the current state-of-the-art in bioengineered bone tumor models.
To highlight the essential components for recreating the in vivo bone tumor microenvironment.
To discuss the potential of these models in predictive therapeutic studies and anticancer drug screening.

Main Methods:

Review of recent literature on engineering bone tumors.
Analysis of components required for recapitulating the in vivo bone tumor milieu.
Discussion of tissue engineering strategies for 3D tumor model development.

Main Results:

3D tumor models demonstrate potential for predictive studies of therapeutic targets.
These models facilitate the screening of anticancer drugs.
Engineered bone tumor models can mimic key features of the in vivo tumor environment.

Conclusions:

Bioengineered 3D tumor models are advancing the field of oncology.
