This time we are talking about... adjuvants as part of the therapy to increase the efficacy by helping maximize the immune response.
Well, the article describes several adjuvants which according to the author can be potentially promissing BUT I think most important messages of the article:
- Adjuvants will not replace standard chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery etc – the adjuvants can only some how improve the standard treatment
- Author clearly understand that novel “targeted” approaches are not magic bullets (which is definitively true):Hormone therapy (often used for prostate cancer), targeted chemotherapy via antibody-drug conjugates, and a host of other advancements offer more options than ever for patients fighting many manifestations of the dreadful disease. However, with all these advancements something is beginning to be painfully clear for at least the interim; there may be no current magic bullet for fighting many cancers, but instead physicians' best weapons may involve a combination approach to combating the disease in its many forms.
