Immune checkpoint blockade antibody therapy is an approach in cancer treatment that uses the body's immune system to target and destroy cancer cells. Immune checkpoints are regulatory pathways in immune cells that cancer cells exploit to evade detection. Key immune checkpoints include PD-1, PD-L1, and CTLA-4. By blocking these pathways, antibodies like pembrolizumab, nivolumab, and ipilimumab allow T-cells to recognize and attack cancer cells more effectively.
