[Immunotherapy of Bronchogenic Carcinoma and Its Perspectives]
Abstract:
Immunotherapy is becoming another possible alternative in the treatment of lung cancer. It is a completely different method of treating cancer which is not directed to the tumor itself, but to the immune system. Surface antigens present on tumor cells may be an effective and specific therapeutic targets and strategies based on antibodies inhibiting immune check-points significantly improves the antitumor immune response. Monoclonal antibody blocking CTLA 4 (cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen) and PD 1 receptor (protein programmed cell death) and its ligand PD L1 showed clinical efficacy and nivolumab (antiPD 1) was approved in 2nd line treatment squamous nonsmall cell lung cancer.

Cancer Vaccines
Cancer vaccines come in two categories: preventive (prophylactic) and treatment (active). Preventive vaccines, such as the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, protect against viruses that cause certain...
Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
