Abstract:
Cancer is a disease that results from the uncontrolled proliferation and growth of cells. Due to early detection methods, there is a decrease in death rates in many types of cancer. However, among the causes of death worldwide, cancer still ranks second after cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, cancer research has focused mainly on developing more effective treatments to reduce deaths from cancer. With a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms in cancer cells, advances in cancer treatment have evolved and changed. The main priority of research is to develop treatment modalities with the highest response rate and less side effects. In this context, immunotherapies have started a new era in cancer treatments. In this review, an overview of the future of next-generation treatment methods is presented by including the most preferred immunotherapy methods.

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...
