Immunoprevention Definition Prevention of cancer onset or of early cancer development and progression by means of immunological treatments, such as vaccines, antibodies, or cytokines. Characteristics Immunoprevention of cancer can be applied to tumors caused by viruses and other infectious agents or to tumors unrelated to infectious agents. In both cases, the aim is the same; however, the underlying concepts and the advancement of clinical development are different. Prevention of viral tumors is based on vaccines against viral antigens, whereas immunoprevention of tumors unrelated to infectious agents targets antigens expressed by early neoplastic cells.
