Uterine
cancer is one of the commonest gynecological cancers, especially in white
Americans. It is the seventh most common disorder across the world. It occurs most often in postmenopausal women
(up to 80% of cases), about 5% diagnosed less than 40 years of age. According
to the American Cancer Society (ACS), more than 52,500 newly cases are
diagnosed, while more than 8,500 cases of deaths with uterine cancer that
estimated in 2014. To increases survival rate of this cancer, researchers
applied immunotherapy for the treatment of this cancer.
There
is no effective screening programmed, but occasionally cervical smears containing
endometrial cancer cells or double thickness endometrial ultrasonic thickness
of 4mm or more indicates a need for endometrial sampling.

The
actual cause of this cancer is unknown. There can be no doubt that estrogen can
alter the behavior of this tumour but there is still a question about estrogen
as a primary causal agent. Estrogen secreting tumors of the ovary are
associated with an increased incidence of endometrial carcinoma. Estrogen given
alone as in postmenopausal Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).
Approximately
75% of cases of this cancer occur in the postmenopausal period when estrogen
values are low and progesterone is absent. Null parity and polycystic ovary
syndrome (PCOS) with defective progesterone synthesis carry an increased risk. After
long term use of oral contraceptives (birth control pills) reduces the
incidence of both endometrial and ovarian carcinomas.The usual presenting
symptom of this cancer is postmenopausal bleeding which carries a 10% risk of
associated malignancy in the absence of hormone replacement therapy.
The
treatment of uterine cancer with immunotherapy that involves Dentritic Cell
immunotherapy, adoptive T cell therapy, and immune-modulator. In dentritic cell immunotherapy, processed
antigens have capability to enhance the potential of patient’s immune system to
fight with specific cancer cells. Immature form of dentritic cells are loaded
tumour antigens such as tumour lysate, which exist as mRNA. (Immatureforms of
dentritic cells are able to capturedand processed antigens, after interaction
with chemokine receptors and its ligands, this cell migrate to the lymph
nodes).
Global
Allied Pharmaceuticals (GAP) has new technology to developed advanced treatment
of uterine cancer on the basis of immune oncology and immunotherapy. GAP has a
team of experts for conducting clinical trials for new immunotherapeutic cancer
agents, which are used in immunotherapy.
