Tumor cells, directing toxins

About a 100 years ago, Coley observed tumor regression after application of a mixture of bacterial toxins. This experiment made the foundation of immune therapy for cancer, which only recently became a promising treatment and an efficient alternative to chemotherapy. In contrast to chemotherapy (1), this new treatment does not kill tumor cells directly rather it enhances the sensitivity of the patient s own immune system against tumor cells with all the potential positive aspects like high selectivity of treatment and much less side effects (2). [Pg.207]
