Vaccines have been used to fight and protect against infectious diseases for centuries. With the emergence of immunotherapy in cancer treatment, researchers began investigating vaccines that could be used against cancer, especially against tumors that are resistant to conservative chemotherapy, surgery, and radiotherapy. The Wilms' tumor 1 (WT1) protein is immunogenic, has been detected in almost all types of malignancies, and has played a significant role in prognosis and disease monitoring. In this article, we review recent developments in the treatment of various types of cancers with the WT1 cancer vaccine; we also discuss theoretic considerations of various therapeutic approaches, which were based on preclinical and clinical data.
几个世纪以来,疫苗一直被用于对抗和预防传染病。随着免疫疗法在癌症治疗中的出现,研究人员开始研究可用于对抗癌症的疫苗,尤其是针对那些对传统化疗、手术和放疗具有抗性的肿瘤。肾母细胞瘤1(WT1)蛋白具有免疫原性,几乎在所有类型的恶性肿瘤中都能检测到,并且在预后和疾病监测中发挥了重要作用。在本文中,我们回顾了WT1癌症疫苗在各类癌症治疗中的最新进展;我们还讨论了基于临床前和临床数据的各种治疗方法的理论考量。
