DOI: 10.23880/ijnmrs-16000128

Abstract

The objective of this article is to demonstrate that attenuating of viable whole tumor cells by γ- radiation and injecting them pre-tumor development is effective for enhancement of the immune system against tumor formation. The advantage of using γ-radiation is that the irradiated tumor cells remain viable but non-proliferative. The use of non-proliferative whole tumor cells vaccine in cancer immunotherapy isn’t new but the new proposal is the immunization before tumor formation.
