Abstract

Colorectal cancer is the third most common cause of cancer-related deaths and the second most prevalent (after breast cancer) in the western world. High metastatic relapse rates and severe side effects associated with the adjuvant treatment have urged oncologists and clinicians to find a novel, less toxic therapeutic strategy. Considering the limited success of the past clinical trials involving peptide vaccine therapy to treat colorectal cancer, it is necessary to revise our knowledge of the immune system and its potential use in tackling cancer. This review presents the efforts of the scientific community in the development of peptide vaccine therapy for colorectal cancer. We review recent clinical trials and the strategies for immunologic monitoring of responses to peptide vaccine therapy. We also discuss the mechanisms underlying the therapy and potential molecular targets in colon cancer.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The main drawback of peptide vaccines is their HLA-type restricted nature; only patients who carry the required HLA allele will be able to respond to the therapy, which substantially limits its application.

    “The main drawback is the human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-type restricted nature of the therapy. This is because HLA molecules are expressed in a variety of super-types and only a particular HLA-super-type can recognize a specific antigen. In the clinical setting, this means that only those patients who carry the required HLA allele will be able to respond to the therapy, which substantially limits”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
