Description
Summary:Human papillomavirus (HPV) has been linked to the development of various cancers, including head and neck, cervical, vaginal, penile, and anal cancers. The development of therapeutic vaccines against HPV-positive tumors is crucial for protecting individuals already infected with HPV, preventing tumor progression, and effectively treating the disease. The HPV therapeutic peptide-based vaccines demonstrate specificity and safety advantages by targeting specific epitopes while minimizing the risk of allergic or autoimmune reactions. However, HPV therapeutic peptide-based vaccines typically lack immunogenicity and frequently fail to induce effective immune responses. Therefore, there is a need for more effective approaches to improve the immunogenicity of HPV peptide-based vaccines. Here, we review relevant research and possible uses for increasing the immunogenicity and therapeutic efficacy of HPV peptide-based vaccines through combined therapy and improved delivery strategies. Additional research is necessary to validate the application of combination therapy and delivery strategy modifications as standard treatment approaches for HPV therapeutic peptide-based vaccines.
