How do immunotherapies work in combating immune evasion?
Immunotherapies are designed to enhance the immune system's ability to fight cancer. They include:
Checkpoint Inhibitors: Drugs that block immune checkpoints, such as CTLA-4 and PD-1, allowing T-cells to attack cancer cells. CAR-T Cell Therapy: T-cells are genetically engineered to better recognize and kill cancer cells. Cancer Vaccines: Vaccines that stimulate the immune system to attack specific cancer antigens.
