- One of the shortcomings of a therapy that uses millions of
identical antibodies to boost the immune system's attack on cancer cells
is that many patients whose tumors recede in response to the treatment
also experience serious inflammatory problems, such as severe diarrhea
and rashes. In a new study, a team led by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
researchers shows that giving periodic infusions of such "monoclonal"
antibodies to patients who have received a widely used cancer vaccine
unleashes a strong immune response to tumors, with less-harsh side
effects.
