What is it about?
Peptidic and non-peptidic αvβ6 integrin-binding molecules have been used in the clinic for detection and treatment of tumors expressing αvβ6 integrin, because this protein is expressed in malignant epithelial cells but it is not expressed in healthy adult tissue except during wound healing and inflammation. This review focuses on the landscape of αvβ6 integrin-binding molecules and their use in cancer treatment and detection, and discusses recent designs for tumor detection, treatment, and immunotherapy.
