Immunotherapy for liver tumors: present status and future prospects

Immunotherapy for liver tumors: present status and future prospects

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Increasing evidence suggests that immune responses are involved in the control of cancer and that the immune system can be manipulated in different ways to recognize and attack tumors. Progress in immune-based strategies has opened new therapeutic avenues using a...
