Immune Response Modulation Against Tumor Cells
- Molecular classification
- Pathway, Immune signaling, Tumor microenvironment
01
Overview
Immune response modulation against tumor cells refers to the complex set of mechanisms and molecular targets that regulate how the immune system recognizes, responds to, and eliminates cancer cells. Tumors often develop strategies to evade or suppress immune surveillance, creating an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) that hinders effective anti-tumor immunity. Therapeutic approaches aim either to enhance immune activation against tumors or block immunosuppressive signals within the TME. Key components include the TME, immune cell infiltration, immune checkpoints, and antigen presentation. Therapeutic strategies involve checkpoint blockade, cytokine modulation, metabolic reprogramming, small molecule modulators, and radiotherapy. Biomarkers help predict response and guide treatment decisions.
