Abstract: Therapeutic cancer vaccines offer a novel avenue for the development of cancer immunotherapy. Tumor antigens can induce T cell antitumor immune responses, but lack of tumorspecific antigens has hampered clinical efficacy. Vaccine types include peptide vaccines, dendritic cell vaccines and oncolytic virus vaccines. Personalizing tumor vaccines may provide a new immunotherapeutic strategy to treat cancer.

Key words: Neoplasms, Immunotherapy, Cancer vaccines
