【Abstract】ObjectiveTo generally analyze the current situations and advancement of the study on immunotherapy for colorectal cancer.
MethodsThe pertinent published papers about the current situation and research advancement of the immunotherapy of colorectal cancer were retrospectively investigated. And also the immunogenicity and the varying principles of immunoresistance, the functional targets, the practicality, and some other characteristics of different immunotherapy for colorectal cancer were reviewed.
ResultsThe main treatments and the research focuses in the immunotherapy of colorectal cancer are initiative nonspecific immunotherapy, adoptive immunotherapy, monoclonal antibody immunotherapy, initiative specific immunotherapy, and targeted therapy. They work by fighting against the cancer itself, cutting off the tumor’s nutrition supply, activating the immune system specifically or breaking the immune tolerance and so on. Though there are still many problems unsolved, immunotherapy has a promising clinical prospect.
ConclusionAs a beneficial complement for surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, immunotherapy plays an important auxiliary role in the combined therapy for colorectal cancer.
