How do monoclonal antibodies work to treat cancer? This video explains how monoclonal antibodies such as trastuzumab, pembrolizumab, and rituximab block molecules cancer cells need to grow, flag cancer cells for destruction by the body’s immune system, or deliver harmful substances to cancer cells. cancer.gov/mab

I have just started treatment with Pembrolizumab. This video has explained more than all leaflets and conversations I've had with my oncologist. Thank you!

This is beautiful! Are these receptor sites on cancer cells unique only to them? Or are there identical receptor sites on some normal cells somewhere?

Hello, Snow. Receptor sites are not necessarily unique to cancer cells, but may be over-expressed on cancer cells. For example, the receptor that the drug bevacizumab binds is for the generation of new blood cells, and are not unique to cancer cells.

I’m wondering: is this basically the same as immunotherapy or not?
@NCIgov

Immunotherapy is an umbrella term that describes several cancer treatments that harness one’s own immune system. Some monoclonal antibodies are also immunotherapy because they help turn the immune system against cancer. You can learn more about immunotherapy here: www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/types/immunotherapy and monoclonal antibodies here: www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/types/immunotherapy/monoclonal-antibodies.

Hi Hansel, Monoclonal antibodies are immune system proteins that are created in the lab and are either humanized (all from human), chimeric (half mouse protein and half human) or murine (all mice). You can read more about monoclonal antibodies at www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/types/immunotherapy/monoclonal-antibodies. Take care.

Since cancer is the component that keeps a person alive from the toxins circulating in the body. Are the monoclonal antibodies to omit the cancer but recirculate the toxins in the body once again? Shouldn't toxins & foreign invaders be eliminated first, as they are the true cause of cancer in the first place?

Cancer is a genetic disease-that is, it is caused by changes to genes that control the way our cells function, especially how they grow and divide. Certain risk factors, such as infectious agents and environmental carcinogens, can increase the risk of cancer and you can read more about those at www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/causes-prevention/risk. Once a patient has been diagnosed with cancer, the focus turns to treating the disease. Monoclonal antibodies are one form of treatment to do that. More information about how monoclonal antibodies work is available at www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/types/immunotherapy/monoclonal-antibodies. Take care.
