摘要
Tumor-associated antigens recently have become very popular in cancer therapy. They can be targeted to reduce side effects of traditional cancer therapy. In this review, ten promising tumor-associated antigens are being discussed in detail. The characteristics of each one are being reviewed in detail. Monoclonal antibodies attached to traditional anticancer agents can target a specific type of cancer cells thereby reducing the amount of traditional anticancer agents reaching normal tissues. This sort of cancer targeting can be a very attractive anticancer therapy because it substantially reduces the amount of side effects normally caused by traditional anticancer agents.
