Abstract
Gene and immunotherapeutic approaches to treat human malignant tumors are reviewed. Special attention is given to the different strategies of cancer gene therapy and to recent aspects of cytokine-supported tumor immunotherapy or tumor-specific vaccination. The limitations of these therapy approaches are critically discussed especially with respect to immune escape mechanisms.
