Tumor Immunotherapy01:27

Tumor Immunotherapy

639
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.

Functions of the Lymphatic and Immune System

4.0K
The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in bolstering our immune system. It consists of a network of lymphoid organs, lymph, and lymphatic vessels that provide structural and functional support in safeguarding the body against pathogens such as viruses and bacteria.
The primary lymphoid organs, including the bone marrow and the thymus, serve as the maturation sites for lymphocytes. Secondary lymphoid organs, like the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue, activate these lymphocytes and serve as...

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Allergy Research
  • Clinical Trials

Background:

  • Intralymphatic immunotherapy (ILIT) is an emerging treatment modality for allergies.
  • Clinical trial results for ILIT have been inconsistent, hindering direct comparisons.
  • Standardization of assessment methods is needed to evaluate ILIT's efficacy.

Conclusions:

  • Direct intralymphatic allergen injection enhances immune response.
  • ILIT is safe and induces both desensitization and likely tolerance.
  • ILIT presents a potentially attractive and convenient option for allergy patients.
