    Immunotherapy has been applied topically, intralesionally and systemically in the treatment of local, regional, and metastatic bladder cancer. Results from multiple clinical trials conducted in the past 10 years have been disappointing in patients with locally advanced or disseminated disease, but immunotherapy has contributed significantly to the successful treatment of superficial bladder tumors. Immunotherapy offers improved means of eradicating existing tumors and, more important, preventing potentially life-threatening new tumor occurrences by favorably altering preneoplastic lesions (chemoprevention).

    Targeted Cancer Therapies

    The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.
    There are several types of targeted therapies against specific...

    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.
