Immunotherapy Targets in Pediatric Cancer
Immunotherapy for cancer has shown increasing success and there is ample evidence to expect that progress gleaned in immune targeting of adult cancers can be translated to pediatric oncology. This manuscript reviews principles that guide selection of targets for immunotherapy of cancer, emphasizing the similarities and distinctions between oncogene-inhibition targets and immune targets. It foll...
متن کاملMolecular Alterations in Pediatric Sarcomas: Potential Targets for Immunotherapy
Purpose/results/discussion. Recurrent chromosomal translocations are common features of many human malignancies. While such translocations often serve as diagnostic markers, molecular analysis of these breakpoint regions and the characterization of the affected genes is leading to a greater understanding of the causal role such translocations play in malignant transformation. A common theme tha...
متن کاملDiscovering cancer immunotherapy targets in vivo
A key challenge facing the cancer immunology field is the discovery of the most suitable targets for therapeutic intervention. We recently reported a novel RNA-interference (RNAi)-based approach for systematic discovery of such targets in the tumor microenvironment in vivo utilizing pooled shRNA libraries as a screening tool. Here, we discuss applying this unbiased method to develop innovative ...
متن کاملMolecular Imaging of Immunotherapy Targets in Cancer.
Immunotherapy has emerged as a promising alternative in the arsenal against cancer by harnessing the power of the immune system to specifically target malignant tissues. As the field of immunotherapy continues to expand, researchers will require newer methods for studying the interactions between the immune system, tumor cells, and immunotherapy agents. Recently, several noninvasive imaging str...
