    摘要: The invention relates to induced neoantigen vaccines and a method of using same to treat cancer by enhancing a patient's anti-cancer immunity. The method involves application of an induction radiation to the patient to generate an “in situ vaccine” in vivo, subsequent removal of the tumor, subjecting its cells to a survival pressure for further production of neoantigens in vitro, and processing of the cells to obtain a self-tumor vaccine. The invention provides comprehensive mobilization of individualized anti-cancer active immunity via sequential combination of means of cancer treatments (e.g., radiotherapy, surgery, chemotherapy). Another aspect of the invention relates to an immunoassay protocol to monitor parameters indicative of the cellular and humoral anti-cancer immunity of a patient.
