Cancer Immunotherapy at a Glance
It is a type of biological treatments that uses laboratory-manufactured materials or depends on living organisms to treat cancer by stimulating and strengthening the immune system of a cancer patient allowing this system to perform its task of identifying and killing malignant cells. Furthermore, studies indicate that immunotherapy is also an effective treatment for patients with brain cancer and gastrointestinal cancer cases.
Benefits of Cancer Immunotherapy
The positive aspect of cancer immunotherapy is that it is considered an independent treatment that stimulates the immune system response in identifying the malignant cells and killing them without affecting the other healthy body’s cells; a fact that makes it a useful treatment for some types of cancer as in skin cancer. Immunotherapy for tumors is also used as an adjunctive treatment accompanying other treatments for cancer e.g. chemotherapy and radiation therapy due to its importance in nourishing the body and raising its immunity after recovery to prevent any recurrence of cancer cells.
Methods of Treatment
When immunotherapy as a treatment to patients with cancer is decided, targeted antibodies which are a form of Tumors immunotherapy, can be given orally or intravenously. It is also possible to apply immunotherapy through the use of topical creams. Furthermore, it can be noticed that active immunotherapy and cellular immunotherapy can also be applied as main types of immunotherapy with the appearance of few side effects, such as coughing, decreased appetite, and fatigue.
