Article/Chapter Title: Immunotherapy for neuroblastoma
Abstract: Current therapeutic approaches for high-risk neuroblastoma include dose-intensive chemotherapy, surgical and radiotherapeutic interventions that are associated with long- and short-term toxicities. Immunotherapy utilizes mechanisms of action that are not cross-reactive with other antitumor modalities and reduce exposure to cytotoxic agents, improving both the survival and quality of life in patients treated for high-risk neuroblastoma. In this chapter, we review antineuroblastoma immunotherapy strategies in clinical use and preclinical development. These include monoclonal antibodies and cytokines, immunoconjugates, chemoimmunotherapy, radioimmunotherapy, adoptive cell therapies, and cancer vaccines. © 2019 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
