Use of drug-killed cancer cells: A method to assess the therapeutic effectiveness of immunogenic cell death.

Cancer immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer treatment by harnessing the immune system's potential to combat cancer. Among the various strategies in this field, the use of killed tumor cells (KC) induced by immunogenic cell death (ICD) inducers has gained attraction. This approach involves the treatment of cancer cells in vitro, followed by the subcutaneous injection of these killed cells into tumor-bearing mice.
