Several strategies are being explored to overcome immune evasion:
Checkpoint Inhibitors: Drugs like nivolumab and pembrolizumab can block checkpoint proteins, restoring T cell activity. Cancer Vaccines: Vaccines can be designed to enhance the immune system's ability to recognize and attack cancer cells. Adoptive Cell Transfer: This involves transferring immune cells, such as CAR-T cells, that have been engineered to target cancer cells. Combination Therapies: Combining immunotherapies with other treatments like chemotherapy or radiation can enhance the overall anti-cancer response.
