Abstract

The ability of innate immunity to inhibit metastatic cells is limited, based on Stage IV cancer survival rates. The dysregulation of the immune system through acquired immunity may result in pathological conditions that alter metastatic cells. Immunoglobulin-E (IgE) antibodies developed by the humoral immune system are a significant contributor to maladaptive immunity. Hypersensitivities are maladaptive immune reactions against harmless allergens. Forced allergen-specific immune responses may provide immediate-type allergies that affect the incidence and prevalence of endogenous proteins essential for metastasizing cells. Furthermore, allergies may shift the body’s resource allocation away from metastasizing cells to IgE-primed effector-cell proliferation. Therefore, research efforts need to explore if hyper-allergenic skin creams can be used to starve-out metastatic cells, wherever they are in the body, to determine if maladaptive immunotherapy is a viable treatment for Stage IV cancer.
