Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy is an advanced cancer treatment that helps the body’s immune system recognize and fight cancer cells. It plays a key role in managing several cancers and may be used alone or alongside other treatments.
What Is Immunotherapy?
Immunotherapy works by strengthening or modifying the immune system so it can better detect and attack cancer cells. Unlike traditional treatments that act directly on tumors, immunotherapy supports the body’s natural defenses to control cancer growth.
Types of Immunotherapy
1. Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors
Medicines that help the immune system recognize cancer cells by removing inhibitory signals.
2. Monoclonal Antibodies
Laboratory-produced antibodies that target specific cancer-related proteins.
3. Cancer Vaccines
Vaccines designed to stimulate the immune system to target cancer cells.
4. Adoptive Cell Therapy
Treatment that uses modified immune cells to enhance the body’s cancer-fighting ability.
