Abstract

In order to overcome the limitations of traditional chemotherapeutic, radiotherapeutic and surgical treatments for cancer, it might be possible to manipulate the host-tumor interaction to enhance the advantage of the host. With this approach, referred to as “biologic response modification,” treatment is directed toward events at the host-tumor interface that are thought to be related to the success or failure of the tumor. For example, therapy may be designed to boost cellular or humoral immune responses to the tumor that are inadequate but potentially capable of forestalling malignant growth and spread.
