Sun exposure can lead to cancer ☀️ but your skin can also help treat cancer.
These days, some cancer vaccines can be injected directly into the skin.
While intradermal injections are not yet mainstream, there’s no reason they can’t be. After all, our skin is our largest organ, rich in antigen-presenting cells (APCs) that protect us daily. 🛡️
These days, researchers are exploring an approach that promises better personalized therapeutic treatment than any of its predecessors.
Neoantigens.
Recent studies highlight the significance of tumor neoantigens in aiding the immune system’s detection of cancer cells. Because neoantigens are
highly immunogenic, this makes them ideal for personalized cancer
immunotherapies. 👌
And the advancement of next-generation sequencing technologies has accelerated this development so much that market research from The Insight Partners forecasts a CAGR growth of 31% from 2023-28.
It’s clear that developments in intradermal injection can play an important part in large-scale vaccination initiatives like the European Commission's Beating Cancer Plan.
And considering that the World Health Organization warns of a 77% increase in cancer cases by 2050, intradermal injection can be the right needle to pin down this problem.
