Understand how active cancer immunotherapy treatment
The activated immunity mechanism is primed to acknowledge tumor antigens expressed by each patient's unique and frequently changing population of cancer cells1

Some activated T cells kill tumor cells directly or indirectly

Some activated T cells activate B cells, which become antibody-producing plasma cells

Each patient's population of tumor cells mutates as time passes, which may result in resistance to traditional anticancer therapies1

Each time a tumor cell is killed, additional antigens are released, stimulating activation of the latest populations of T cells and B cells that recognize tumor antigens

This may result in an expanding cascade of immune cells capable of recognize cancer cells bearing many different tumor antigens since the tumor mutates as time passes
