Vaccine against cancer
Researchers report progress in developing a method that might one day boost the immune system to fight against cancer.
The results of their study suggest the treatment is safe. But they don't prove it works or which patients it could help, reported Nesmax Health.
The treatment is known as a cancer vaccine. It aims to enlist so-called "dendritic" cells in the immune system, according to the study, published in the April 16 issue of Science Translational Medicine.
"Dendritic cells are the sentinels of our immune system," said study co-author Tibor Keler, chief scientific officer at Celldex Therapeutics Inc., which funded the study. They sense invaders in the body and alert other parts of the immune system about how to fight them, Keler explained.
For now, "we are planning additional trials with our vaccine, focusing on combinations with other immunotherapy that may lead to significant clinical benefit," Keler said.
