Therapeutic cancer vaccines aim to generate tumor immunity through coordinated cell- and antibody-mediated responses that ultimately result in highly specific and potent T cells capable of destroying cancers. Cancer vaccines have unique advantages compared to most other cancer therapeutics, with a high degree of specificity for tumor cells relative to normal tissues, a highly favorable side-effect profile, and the potential for a long-lasting treatment effect due to immunologic memory.
