Cancer Vaccines; Help Strengthen Body’s Immune Response to Fight against the Disease
There are vaccines that treat existing cancer, called
treatment vaccines or therapeutic vaccines. Cancer vaccines are a type of
cancer treatment called immunotherapy. They help boost the body's immune system
to fight cancer. Cancer vaccines are a form of immunotherapy that can help
educate body's immune system about what cancer cells look like so that it can
detect them and eliminate them. These vaccines also help the immune system
learn to recognize and react to these antigens and destroy cancer cells that
contain them.\

Cancer vaccines are drugs considered as biological response
modifiers that work by stimulating the body's immune system to fight cancer.
Cancer vaccines are of two types, such as treatment vaccines and prevention
vaccines. Treatment vaccines are used to strengthen natural immune response to
fight cancer, while prevention vaccines used to prevent the disease. These
vaccines can be administered intravenously in both children and adults. Cancer
vaccines help destroy cancer cells, stop further spread, and prevent cancer
from recurring.
They have the potential to cure many types of cancer. Some
of them are being tested in clinical trials for potential use in humans;
stimulates body's immune system to protect it from foreign substances. In the
United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have approved two cancer
vaccines to prevent cancer: the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine and the
hepatitis B vaccine. Sipuleucel-T (Provenge) is also the U.S. FDA approved
cancer vaccine, can be used to treat prostate cancer that has metastasized
(spread).
Talimogene laherparepvec (T-VEC) is approved to treat
advanced melanoma skin cancer. It is made from a herpes virus that has been
altered in the lab to produce a substance that the body normally produces,
called a cytokine. With the increasing prevalence of cancer worldwide, the
demand for cancer vaccines is also increasing with a rapid pace.
