Immunotherapy is a revolutionary cancer treatment that boosts the body’s natural immune defenses to recognize and destroy cancer cells. Unlike chemotherapy or radiation which directly attack tumors, immunotherapy empowers the patient’s own immune system to fight the disease more effectively.
How it Works
Immunotherapy works through several key mechanisms:
PD-1/PD-L1 Inhibitors (e.g., Pembrolizumab, Nivolumab): Block proteins that prevent T-cells from attacking cancer cells
CTLA-4 Inhibitors (e.g., Ipilimumab): Help activate and proliferate T-cells
Genetically modifies patient’s T-cells to better recognize cancer-specific antigens
Particularly effective for blood cancers
Stimulate immune response against tumor-specific antigens
Includes preventive (HPV vaccine) and therapeutic vaccines
Uses immune system proteins (interleukins, interferons) to enhance immune activity
Uses modified viruses that selectively infect and kill cancer cells while stimulating immune response.
Conditions Treated:
Immunotherapy has shown remarkable success in treating various cancers:
Solid Tumors
Hematologic Malignancies
