NeoStem and Immunotherapy: Fighting Cancer from Within

LONDON, ENGLAND--(Marketwired - April 2, 2015) - Immunotherapies work in such a way that they fight diseases by using components of a patient's own immune system, and developments in the field are proving important in the treatment of cancer. In the new issue of The New Economy, David J Mazzo of NeoStem explains how the company is currently teaching patients' immune systems to recognise the cancer or tumour-initiating cells found in patients' specific tumours.

"We believe our unique focus on targeting the tumour-initiating 'stem' cells within a tumour, combined with an innovative business model that consists of a rich cell therapy pipeline, externally recognised manufacturing expertise, and initiatives intended to use innovation to solve the challenges specific to the cell therapy industry, puts NeoStem in the unique position of simultaneously taking part in and shaping the future of cancer immunotherapy," says Mazzo in The New Economy feature.

Speaking on the different groups of immunotherapy available to patients, The New Economy report expands on the challenges associated with the treatment and how the cost of developing autologous treatments can be prohibitive. However, Mazzo goes on to write about the work being done at NeoStem to break down the barriers to entry and what is required if immunotherapy is to become more readily available.
