Abstract EN
Cancer is a condition that has plagued humanity for thousands of years, with the first depictions dating back to ancient Egyptian times.
However, not until recent decades have biological therapeutics been developed and refined enough to safely and effectively combat cancer.
Three unique immunotherapies have gained traction in recent decades: adoptive T cell transfer, checkpoint inhibitors, and bivalent antibodies.
Each has led to clinically approved therapies, as well as to therapies in preclinical and ongoing clinical trials.
In this review, we outline the method by which these 3 immunotherapies function as well as any major immunotherapeutic drugs developed for treating a variety of cancers.
