Therapeutic
Paragraph text modalities that engage the immune system to recognize and eliminate cancer, known as cancer immunotherapy, have emerged as a distinct pillar of cancer
therapy. Among the most promising treatment approaches are therapeutic cancer vaccines, immune checkpoint blockade, bi-specific T-cell engagers (BiTEs) and adoptive cell
therapies (ACT). These approaches share a common mechanism of action, which is elicitation of a T-cell-based immune response, either endogenous or engineered, against

tumor antigens.
Paragraph textMoreover, interactions between the innate immune system, particularly antigen-presenting cells, and immune effectors also underlie the efficacy of cancer
immunotherapies and approaches engaging these cells are also under development.

Paragraph textcancer vaccines
Therapeutic cancer vaccines elicit endogenous T cell immune responses against tumor antigens through uptake, processing, and presentation by dendritic cells.1 Tumor
antigens may either be shared amongst several cancer types, such as commonly mutated variants of KRAS or p53, or personalized neoantigens specific to somatic mutations of

the promise of checkpoint blockade therapy, only a minority of patients achieve complete responses, as its efficacy is contingent on tumor mutational burden and proper anti-
tumor T cell function.6 Furthermore, though PD-1/PD-L1 inhibition exerts less adverse effects than CTLA-4 blockade, both therapies have the potential for promoting autoimmune
conditions and life-threatening toxicities, such as checkpoint-induced pneumonitis.
