Emerging Uses of Adoptive Immunotherapy

Recorded On: 05/18/2013

The immune system is a complicated network of cells, organs, and tissues that protects the body from invading pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi. Advances in understanding immune system response have led to the development of passive and active means of triggering the immune system to combat cancer. This presentation will discuss the role of the immune system as a means to treat, and possibly prevent, malignancies through the use of emerging adoptive immunotherapy.

At the conclusion of the presentation, the participant will be able to:

1. Explain the functions of the immune system.

2. Describe how immunotherapy works in cancer treatment.
