Immunotherapies have emerged as one of the vital options for treating cancer patients. A num-ber of cancer immunotherapies are now available worldwide. To select the right immunotherapy for the right patient, updated information is the key. This presentation outlines the key information and results of five latest clinical studies on different cancer immunotherapies. The studies are selected through a search in PubMed (Keyword: Cancer Immunotherapy; Sort-ed by: Most Recent; Filter: Clinical Trial and Publication time 1 year). Only randomized controlled studies are included here. These studies have revealed that immunotherapies ensure encouraging outcomes not only in enhancing the quality of life but also in boosting the overall survival rate of cancer patients.
This document discusses cancer vaccines as a novel approach to treating and preventing cancer. It defines cancer vaccines and explains the different types, including dendritic cell vaccines, antigen vaccines, tumor cell vaccines, DNA vaccines, and anti-idiotype vaccines. Several examples of cancer vaccines currently in clinical trials are provided, such as OncoVAX for colon cancer and Provenge for prostate cancer. While progress has been made, more research is still needed before cancer vaccines can be widely used in clinical settings.

How to Treat Cancer with Immunotherapy Utilizing Biobran through the Microbiome. Professional Presentation for Medical Practitioners with Clinical Cases By Professor Serge Jurasunas.
1. Cancer develops through a multi-step process of carcinogenesis caused by both external and internal factors like viruses, chemicals, and genetic mutations.
2. Diagnosis involves biopsy and pathological examination to determine tumor type, stage, and grade. Treatment requires a multidisciplinary approach including surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapies.
3. Early detection through screening programs can improve cancer outcomes by allowing for early diagnosis and treatment before it spreads. However, cancer remains difficult to treat once it has metastasized to distant organs.
Cancer immunotherapy shows promise for treating cancer. Recent advances include checkpoint inhibitors that help the immune system attack cancer cells. Over 200 types of cancer vaccines currently in clinical trials aim to strengthen the immune response against cancers. Dendritic cell vaccines have shown some success by extracting a patient's dendritic cells, exposing them to tumor antigens, and reintroducing them to induce an immune response. Combining immunotherapies with other treatments continues to be a promising area of research, as over 6,000 clinical trials are studying various immunotherapy combinations. With over 240 new immunotherapies in development, cancer experts are optimistic that immunotherapy can significantly improve cancer outcomes.

Metronomic chemotherapy provides several advantages over conventional chemotherapy:
- It is associated with lower toxicity due to more frequent lower doses, allowing better treatment consistency.
- It has enhanced anti-cancer effects through anti-angiogenesis and improved immune response against tumors.
- Targeting both the tumor and tumor microenvironment makes it less likely to encounter chemo-resistance.
Chemotherapy is frequently used to treat lung cancer, especially when it has spread. For small cell lung cancer, also called oat cell cancer, chemotherapy alone or with radiation is used depending on whether the cancer is limited or extensive stage. A study compared the standard CAV/EP chemotherapy regimen to the more intensive CODE regimen for extensive stage small cell lung cancer patients. While the CODE regimen produced higher response rates, it also resulted in unacceptable toxicity with 8 patients dying from treatment-related causes, compared to no deaths for the standard regimen. The researchers concluded that standard regimens causing mild suppression are as effective with less toxicity compared to more intensive regimens for extensive stage small cell lung cancer.

Pembrolizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that targets the PD-1 receptor. This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of pembrolizumab in 104 patients with recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. The results showed that pembrolizumab had a manageable safety profile, with 63% of patients experiencing drug-related adverse events mostly grade 1-2. Pembrolizumab also demonstrated promising anti-tumor activity with an 18% overall response rate. Progression-free survival was 13 months. This study provides evidence that pembrolizumab is a potential new treatment option for this patient population.

Ovarian cancer is the seventh most common gynecological cancer worldwide, ovarian cancer is the eighth leading cause of cancer death in women. In recent years, the number of ovarian cancer cases has been increasing in Japan, more than 9,000 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer each year. The 5 year survival rate is 58 , the lowest among gynecological cancers, 4,758 ovarian cancer deaths in 2012. That is, it is reported that about one in two ovarian cancer patients has died. Because it is difficult to cure recurrent ovarian cancer, treatment is used to prolong life and improve quality of life. Because PARP inhibitors are oral targeted drugs that specifically act on cancer cells, they are expected to reduce the risk of disease progression and death while maintaining a good safety profile. In this way, the development of oral preparations has made it possible to avoid the burden on patients such as pain caused by conventional injections and the time constraints required for infusion. In this review, we discuss new treatments for ovarian cancer.

Dendreon is a biotechnology company focused on developing immunotherapies for cancer treatment. Their first product, Provenge, received FDA approval in 2010 for the treatment of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer. Provenge involves extracting a patient's antigen-presenting cells and combining them with a recombinant prostate antigen to stimulate an immune response against prostate cancer cells. Dendreon is working to expand Provenge's market and develop new immunotherapy treatments targeting antigens like HER2/neu, CA-9, and CEA expressed on other cancer types. They face challenges in scaling up manufacturing and achieving reimbursement to fully commercialize Provenge in the US and expand into Europe.
1. Ovarian cancer is the second most common gynecologic malignancy in the US, with most cases presenting at advanced stages.
2. Recurrent disease is common, even after initial treatment, and targeting angiogenesis through VEGF inhibition has shown promising results both as single agent therapy and in combination with chemotherapy.
3. Bevacizumab has been approved as front-line treatment combined with chemotherapy based on improved progression-free survival seen in clinical trials, though no overall survival benefit has been proven.
This case study examines the use of cetuximab-based chemotherapy for the re-treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who had previously responded to cetuximab treatment but experienced disease progression after stopping treatment. The study aims to evaluate the overall response and safety of re-treating these patients with cetuximab-containing chemotherapy. It describes the study design, inclusion/exclusion criteria, experimental and control treatments, and primary/secondary outcome measures that will be assessed over a 2-year period.
Pediatric patients are often faced with resistant or recurrent cancers that cannot be cured by chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery.
Immunotherapies have become viable therapeutic options for many cancer patients.
Some of these new pharmacologic medications are changing the landscape of treatment for pediatric cancers, while the utility of others is not yet known.
An oncology-focused immunotherapy company is conducting a Phase 3 clinical trial of its lead product, NeuVax, for the prevention of breast cancer recurrence in early-stage, node-positive patients. The trial is fully enrolled with 758 participants and is evaluating NeuVax compared to placebo on disease-free survival. NeuVax targets the HER2 protein and consists of an HLA-A2/A3-restricted peptide that elicits CD8+ T-cell responses. Previous clinical trials demonstrated NeuVax has a positive safety profile and signals of efficacy in reducing recurrence rates. An interim analysis is upcoming in mid-2016, with final results expected in 2018.
Immune checkpoint inhibitors work by releasing brakes on the immune system called checkpoints that normally limit anti-tumor immune responses. In clinical trials, checkpoint inhibitors have demonstrated the ability to induce long-lasting responses in a subset of patients with various cancers including melanoma. Combining checkpoint inhibitors with other immunotherapies, targeted therapies, or cell-based therapies may help generate anti-tumor immune responses in patients whose tumors do not respond to checkpoint inhibitors alone. Managing cancer in the era of checkpoint inhibitors will likely involve complex combinations of different treatment approaches.

Cancer vaccines aim to stimulate the immune system to recognize and destroy cancer cells. There are several types of cancer vaccines including preventive vaccines, therapeutic vaccines, and personalized neoantigen vaccines. Preventive vaccines target viruses that can cause cancer, while therapeutic vaccines use tumor-associated antigens or cells to treat existing cancers. Future goals include developing vaccines that induce strong and broad T cell responses against cancers and combining vaccines with other immunotherapies to overcome tumor evasion mechanisms. Challenges remain in identifying optimal antigens and vectors to achieve effective anti-tumor responses. Continued research seeks to realize the potential of cancer vaccines for improving patient outcomes and quality of life.

#2: A very good morning to all of you. Before starting my presentation, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude & sincere thanks to Larix International for inviting me. Today, I am going to discuss with you regarding the Latest Studies in Cancer Immunotherapy.
To be precise, from this prestation
#3: first you will get a brief idea on cancer immunotherapies; then the update on currently available cancer immunotherapies and their approved indications. Finally, you will have a clear outline of key information & results of five latest clinical studies on different cancer immunotherapies.
I hope this presentation would help you to select the right immunotherapy for the right patient on the basis of the latest clinical evidences.
So, lets start with right from the beginning that is the birth of cancer immunotherapy.
#4: More than 115 years ago, in 1908, Dr. William Bradley Coley first reported Erysipelas Germs as Cure for Cancer. Which was published in New York Times at time. In fact, this is the starting cancer immunotherapy. Hence, Dr. William Bradley Coley Has been regarded as the founder of cancer immunotherapy.
Afterwards, cancer immunotherapy has been enriched with many more life saving innovations.
Now from 1908, lets back in again in todays scenario and see more details on cancer immunotherapy.
#5: Immunotherapy is a type of targeted cancer treatment that helps our immune system to fight cancer. It is a biological therapy made from living organisms or cells.
It helps the immune system to fight against cancer in a better way. The goal of油immunotherapy is to achieve durable油tumor regression & possible cure with minimum adverse effects on patients.
We can classify the immunotherapies in six broad classes: 1. monoclonal antibodies 2. check-point inhibitors 3. bi-specific T-cell engagers 4. cytokines 5. anti-cancer vaccines 6. cart T-cells.
Among them, monoclonal antibodies or MABs are most widely used. Hence, we will limit our following discussion on MABs only.
