Cancer immunology has been a separate area of focus of the Center.
The Center has been successfully using dendritic cell vaccine therapy – an innovative technique in the field of cancer immunology. For the past fifteen years it has been showing remarkable clinical efficacy for treatment of melanomas, soft tissue sarcomas, colon cancer and kidney cancer. Since 2010, 203 patients have undergone dendritic cell vaccine therapy at the Cancer Immunology Research Division of the Centre with the most impressive outcomes. Building on these remarkable results, dendritic cell vaccine therapy is finding ever-widening applications to treat a larger spectrum of cancers at the Center.
