Anti-Cancer Series

Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide and a serious threat to human health. Dysregulation of cell cycle and cell division are the main causes of cancer. In cancer treatment, the commonly used treatment methods include chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, surgical treatment or a combination of several treatments. Chemotherapy, as a traditional method of cancer treatment, has high side effects. In recent years, targeted therapy and tumor immunity have gradually become important means of cancer treatment. Targeted therapies play an important role in cancer treatment by targeting proteins that control the growth, division and spread of cancer cells. Tumor immunotherapy is a treatment method to eliminate tumors by activating and mobilizing the body's immune system to kill tumor cells. Immune checkpoint is a common target in tumor immunotherapy. In recent years, more and more studies have shown that tumor microenvironment plays an increasingly important role in the development of tumor, especially in the study of tumor immunity and tumor metabolism.
