Initial Award Abstract

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in men and women in the United States. New therapies are needed for lung cancer to either prevent or treat its spread throughout the body. This research focuses on boosting the immune system against lung cancer by using specialized immune enhancing cells called dendritic cells. This new form of therapy uses dendritic cells that are removed from the blood, activated in test tubes, and then injected into lung tumors. We have found that this form of therapy is able to completely cure mice with cancer. This research focuses on testing the safety and immune-enhancing capacity of dendritic cell immunotherapy for patients with lung cancer. Thus, results of this study may have a major impact on the treatment of lung cancer.
