Despite incomplete understanding of the human immune system, the rapid progress in tumor immunology provides a framework for effective and safe interventions in the near future. Early approaches in patients with cancer that have focused on the nonspecific and broad stimulation of the immune system by interferons and IL-12 will be replaced by the highly specific stimulation of immune reactions targeting precisely defined tumor antigens. IL-12 has several biologic properties that seem useful in immune therapy fur bladder cancer. The striking antitumor responses with IL-12 in preclinical animal models of bladder cancer provide optimism that future clinical trials involving this agent may impact on the risk and mortality associated with this disease.
