What is Immunotherapy Treatment?

Immunotherapy harnesses your immune system to fight cancer. Think of it as training your army (immune cells) to recognize and attack enemy soldiers (cancer cells). Different types of immunotherapy work in unique ways, boosting your immune response, marking cancer cells for destruction, or equipping your immune cells with special weapons.

It depends on the specific type of immunotherapy. Some approaches activate T cells, a type of immune cell that directly kills cancer cells. Others block signals that cancer cells use to evade the immune system. Additionally, some therapies modify your T cells to recognize and attack specific cancer cell markers.

There are several types, including:

Checkpoint inhibitors: These drugs remove “brakes ”on the immune system, allowing T cells to attack cancer cells more effectively.

Monoclonal antibodies: These lab-made molecules target specific proteins on cancer cells, marking them for destruction by the immune system.

CAR T-cell therapy: This personalized therapy genetically engineers T cells to recognize and attack specific cancer cells.

Cancer vaccines: These train the immune system to recognize and attack specific cancer cells.

Immunotherapy can be used at different stages of cancer, depending on the type of cancer and other factors. It can be used alone or in combination with other treatments like chemotherapy or radiation.

Immunotherapy can take longer to work than other treatments, but it can sometimes have more durable effects. The response time varies depending on the type of cancer and patient factors.

Your doctor can recommend preventive measures and manage side effects as they arise. Open communication and proactive management are key to minimizing discomfort.

This depends on your specific cancer type, stage, and other health factors. Your doctor will assess your individual case to determine if immunotherapy is a suitable option.
