Dendritic cell-based immunotherapy in ovarian cancer

Oncoimmunology. 2013 Dec 1;2(12):e27059. doi: 10.4161/onci.27059. Epub 2013 Nov 6.

Abstract

Worldwide, 80% of patients with ovarian cancer die of the disease. New treatments for this aggressive disease are therefore being intensively searched. Although dendritic cell-based vaccines against gynecological malignancies are in their infancy, this immunotherapeutic approach holds much promise. Here, we present our view on an optimal dendritic cell-based immunotherapeutic strategy against ovarian cancer.

Keywords: DC; DC immunotherapy; WT1; dendritic cell; ovarian cancer.
