Targets and Strategies for Cancer Immunoprevention

Methods Mol Biol. 2022:2435:7-17. doi: 10.1007/978-1-0716-2014-4_2.

Abstract

The immune system plays a key role in cancer prevention, initiation, and progression. Antitumoral immune responses can be boosted by harnessing antitumorigenic immune activators and/or blocking tumorigenic proinflammatory factors. Here we define these targets as well as the strategies that could be developed for effective cancer immunoprevention.

Keywords: Antitumoral immune response; Cancer immunoprevention; Immune surveillance; Immunotherapy; Tumorigenic factors.
