Immunotherapy.. The Magic Bullet.. The Breakthrough Therapy.. the Paradigm Shift.. The Future

I wrote about this as the "Magic bullet" back in 2009.Great insight in where immunotherapy is heading in the future.



When you combine anti-CD47 therapy with checkpoint therapy (anti-PD1 and or anti-CTLA4/Yervoy), you involve the innate and the adoptive immune system to eradicate cancer (Melanoma)
 I would like to see combinatorial therapy with checkpoint inhibitors like yervoy/anti-CTLA-4 & anti-PD-1along with anti-CD47 to eliminate the "don't eat me" signal, so the macrophages can get involved with the tumor elimination.
