Cervical Cancer
Gynecological cancers place a heavy burden on the health of women worldwide and therefore require innovative therapies. Immunotherapy has emerged as a promising strategy to harness the body's immune system to fight cancer. Alfa Cytology is a world leader in the development of cancer vaccines. With our extensive experience and advanced platform, we can provide the best vaccine development services for cervical cancer.
Introduction to Cervical Cancer
Cervical cancer is a global health problem and the fourth most common cancer in women worldwide. Because it is closely associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, the HPV vaccine is considered an important prevention tool.
The Challenges of Cervical Cancer Therapy
Despite progress in vaccination and screening, challenges remain. Today, the main approaches and therapies used in cervical cancer immunotherapy include immune checkpoint inhibitors, cancer vaccines, and adoptive cell therapy.
Among them, immune checkpoint inhibitors are promising as a therapy option for advanced cervical cancer, especially in cases that have developed resistance to standard therapies, but challenges remain in optimizing patient selection and response rates. Cancer vaccines are showing promise in preclinical studies. Further research is needed to translate these findings into practice and advance personalized medicine for HPV-associated tumors.
Preventive and Therapeutic Vaccines for Cervical Cancer
Cancer vaccines are a promising approach in cancer immunotherapy that aims to elicit specific and durable immune responses against tumor antigens (TA), including mutated antigens derived from tumor-associated antigens (TAA), as well as non-mutated antigens that are overexpressed in cancer cells.
According to the characteristics of cervical cancer, its vaccines are mainly divided into effective preventive vaccines and therapeutic vaccines. Unlike preventative vaccines, which are given before exposure to HPV, therapeutic vaccines are designed to target existing HPV infections or cancer cells to treat or delay the progression of cervical cancer.
There is a lack of effective therapy options for metastatic or recurrent cervical cancer. In recent years, a variety of nanomaterials have been considered promising delivery vectors with the advantages of tumor-specific drug delivery, reduced toxicity, and improved biocompatibility.
