Cancer Pharmacology

 Cancer pharmacology plays a key role in drug development. In both the laboratory and the clinic, cancer pharmacology has had to adapt to the changing face of drug development by establishing experimental models and target orientated approaches.

A cancer vaccine is a vaccine which treats cancer or prevents development of cancer. Vaccines that treat the cancer are known as therapeutic cancer vaccine. Currently no vaccines are able to prevent all cancer. Anti-viral vaccines like HPV vaccine and hepatitis B vaccines are useful to treat some types of cancers like cervical cancer, some liver cancer. Cancer vaccines are being developed for the treatments of different cancers like breast cancer, lung cancer, and colon and skin cancer. Most of cancer vaccines in development are specific for particular cancer types and are the therapeutic vaccines.
