Overview of major categories in biological cancer treatments.
The slide outlines common types of immunotherapies for cancer treatment. It includes monoclonal antibodies that target specific cancer cell proteins, immune checkpoint inhibitors that prevent suppression of the immune response, cancer vaccines that boost immunity against tumor antigens, and gene therapy that alters genes to improve anti-cancer effects.
The slide, titled "Visualizing Types of Therapies," features an image illustrating four key immunotherapy approaches for cancer treatment. These include monoclonal antibodies that target specific cancer cell proteins, checkpoint inhibitors that block immune system brakes, cancer vaccines that train immunity against tumor antigens, and gene therapy that alters genes to combat cancer.

How biological therapies interact with cancer at the molecular and cellular levels.
The left column of the slide explains how biological therapies activate the immune system through cytokines that stimulate T-cells to recognize and destroy cancer cells, thereby enhancing the body's natural defenses against tumors. The right column describes targeted therapies, such as monoclonal antibodies like trastuzumab, which bind to HER2 receptors on breast cancer cells to block growth signals, inhibit proliferation, and induce apoptosis while sparing healthy tissues.
| Immune Activation via Cytokines and T-cells | Targeted Inhibition of Growth Signals (e.g., HER2 in Breast Cancer) |
|---|---|
| Biological therapies stimulate the immune system by releasing cytokines, signaling molecules that activate T-cells. These T-cells then recognize and destroy cancer cells, enhancing the body's natural defense mechanisms against tumors. This approach boosts overall immune response for effective cancer targeting. | Monoclonal antibodies like trastuzumab specifically bind to HER2 receptors on breast cancer cells, blocking growth signals. This inhibits cell proliferation and induces apoptosis, preventing tumor expansion. Such targeted therapies minimize damage to healthy tissues while precisely attacking cancer-specific pathways. |
This section header slide introduces Section 4, titled "Advantages and Limitations." It features a subtitle emphasizing the balance between the benefits and challenges of biological therapies.
