Release Date: 2024-06-12

Immunotherapy addresses the immune suppression originating from the tumor and its microenvironment, so that the immune system targets and kills cancer cells. Surgical resection has the potential to offer a cure in some cases, but the majority of advanced solid tumors are not suitable for using this method. Long-lasting and durable responses are achieved with [...]

    Immunotherapy addresses the immune suppression originating from the tumor and its microenvironment, so that the immune system targets and kills cancer cells. Surgical resection has the potential to offer a cure in some cases, but the majority of advanced solid tumors are not suitable for using this method. Long-lasting and durable responses are achieved with immunotherapy in some patient groups. Cancer immunotherapy is incorporated into multidisciplinary cancer treatment gradually more, partly thanks to its potential to provide permanent disease control for more patients. Further studies are needed to expand the impact of immunotherapy to include a broader range of solid tumor types.
