Abstract
Training the Defense System for Modern-Day Warfare: The Horizons for Immunotherapy and Vaccines for Cancer
Our defense system also known as the immune system is built to fight the invaders both from inside as well as from outside. With the advent of industrialization of our food system and with the constantly evolving environment where we live, the immune system is challenged with ever increasing permutation and combinations of both outside and inside invaders. In our opinion any kind of diseases are related to immunodeficiency to fight it by the host defense system. Cancer is among the most challenging inside invaders that our immune system encounters. Since the immune system is naturally built to protect the host integrity and fight different diseases including cancer, it would be worthwhile and attractive avenue to find the cure for this deadly disease.
