What are the challenges in developing effective immunotherapies?
Despite their potential, immunotherapies face several challenges:
Heterogeneity of Tumors: Tumors can be highly variable, making it difficult to target all cancer cells effectively. Tumor Microenvironment: The surrounding environment of a tumor can be immunosuppressive, hindering the effectiveness of immunotherapies. Adverse Effects: Enhancing the immune response can lead to autoimmune reactions and other side effects.
