"According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cancer is the second-leading cause of death worldwide, responsible for about 8.8 million deaths in 2015. ... Subsequently, annual cancer drug spending is also on the rise, expected to exceed $150 billion by 2020, according to a report by IMS Health Holdings, Inc. The 10.5 percent increase is largely driven by the emergence of new immunotherapies that are designed to help cancer patients' immune systems learn how to attack tumors. An innovative immunotherapy approach comes from TapImmune, Inc. (NASDAQ: TPIV), whose next-generation technology can overcome the deficiencies of earlier vaccines and become a powerful therapy on its own or in combination with other types of immunotherapies. ... In addition to its T-cell vaccine candidates, TapImmune is developing a proprietary and groundbreaking peptide expression system meant to make DNA-based immunotherapy more effective.
