In the relentless battle against cancer, innovative treatments are continually emerging, offering new hope to patients worldwide. One of the most promising advancements in recent years is immunotherapy.
At Cancer Samiksha, we are proud to be at the forefront of this revolution, providing our patients with cutting-edge immunotherapy options that harness the power of their own immune systems to fight cancer.
What is Immunotherapy?
Immunotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that enhances the body’s natural defenses to identify and destroy cancer cells. Unlike traditional therapies such as chemotherapy and radiation, which directly target cancer cells, immunotherapy works by boosting the immune system’s ability to combat the disease.
How Does Immunotherapy Work?
The immune system is a complex network of cells and proteins that defends the body against infections and diseases. Cancer cells can sometimes evade detection by the immune system, allowing them to grow and spread. Immunotherapy helps the immune system recognize and attack these cells more effectively. There are several types of immunotherapy:
1. Checkpoint Inhibitors
Checkpoint inhibitors are drugs that block proteins used by cancer cells to avoid being attacked by the immune system. By inhibiting these proteins, checkpoint inhibitors enable the immune system to recognize and destroy cancer cells. This approach has shown remarkable success in treating various cancers, including melanoma, lung cancer, and bladder cancer.
2. CAR-T Cell Therapy
Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy involves modifying a patient’s T cells (a type of immune cell) in a laboratory to better recognize and attack cancer cells. These engineered T cells are then infused back into the patient, where they seek out and destroy cancer cells. CAR-T cell therapy has shown significant promise in treating certain types of blood cancers.
3. Monoclonal Antibodies
Monoclonal antibodies are lab-created molecules designed to target specific antigens on cancer cells. These antibodies can mark cancer cells for destruction by the immune system, block their growth signals, or deliver toxic substances directly to them. Monoclonal antibodies have been effective in treating a variety of cancers, including breast cancer and lymphoma.
4. Cancer Vaccines
Cancer vaccines are designed to stimulate the immune system to attack cancer cells. Unlike traditional vaccines, which prevent diseases, cancer vaccines treat existing cancer by enhancing the body’s immune response to it. These vaccines can be made from cancer cells, parts of cells, or pure antigens.
The Benefits of Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy offers several advantages over traditional cancer treatments:
- Targeted Action: Immunotherapy specifically targets cancer cells, reducing damage to healthy tissues and minimizing side effects.
- Durable Responses: Patients often experience longer-lasting responses with immunotherapy compared to conventional treatments.
- Versatility: Immunotherapy can be used to treat various types of cancer and can be combined with other treatments for enhanced effectiveness.
