Abstract
Biotechnology has paved the way for the development of cancer therapeutics that harness biological systems. Cancer immunotherapy (CI) is a pivotal and swiftly progressing therapeutic modality, alongside surgical intervention, cytotoxic chemo-therapy, radiation therapy, and targeted therapy. Therefore, this is the fifth cornerstone of cancer management. Biotechnological pharmaceuticals are superior modalities for combat-ing neoplastic conditions when juxtaposed with conventional chemical therapeutics. Consid-ering empirical evidence, it can be posited that biotechnology exhibits a heightened level of precision in targeting malignant cells associated with cancer, thereby minimizing collateral damage compared to conventional chemotherapeutic approaches. Furthermore, this ap-proach harnesses the inherent capabilities of the immune system to impede cancer recur-rence, thereby facilitating a more proactive therapeutic intervention, as opposed to a mere deleterious remedy. Novel cancer immunotherapeutic medications, along with uncomplicat-ed methodologies that enable the quantitative evaluation of the effectiveness of compounds capable of modifying T cell-mediated, tumor antigen-specific immune responses, play a pivotal role in the assessment process. This highlights the considerable promise of immuno-therapies, monoclonal antibodies, and an array of biotechnological products in a relentless battle against cancer.
期刊介绍:
Current Cancer Drug Targets aims to cover all the latest and outstanding developments on the medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, molecular biology, genomics and biochemistry of contemporary molecular drug targets involved in cancer, e.g. disease specific proteins, receptors, enzymes and genes.
Current Cancer Drug Targets publishes original research articles, letters, reviews / mini-reviews, drug clinical trial studies and guest edited thematic issues written by leaders in the field covering a range of current topics on drug targets involved in cancer.
As the discovery, identification, characterization and validation of novel human drug targets for anti-cancer drug discovery continues to grow; this journal has become essential reading for all pharmaceutical scientists involved in drug discovery and development.
