Abstract
This paper presents a literature review on the use of dendritic cell vaccines for lung cancer, prepared based on the analysis of sources from domestic and foreign literature presented in electronic databases of scientific medical literature PabMed, eLIBRARY.RU. The analysis included publications characterizing the current capabilities of laboratory, instrumental and molecular genetic methods for obtaining and using dendritic cell vaccines for lung cancer.
The aim of the work – to highlight the results of international and domestic studies on the production, screening and use of dendritic cell vaccines, as well as immunotherapy strategies for lung cancer.
