Personalized cancer immunotherapy is a promising new approach to cancer treatment that involves tailoring treatments to individual patients based on their unique genetic makeup and immune system. This approach has the potential to revolutionize cancer treatment by improving outcomes and reducing side effects.
The basic idea behind personalized cancer immunotherapy is to use the patient’s own immune system to fight cancer. This is done by identifying specific proteins or other molecules on the surface of cancer cells that are not present on normal cells. These molecules, known as tumor antigens, can be targeted by the immune system to attack and destroy cancer cells.
