Cancer Immunotherapy

Harnessing Your Immune System to Fight Cancer

Checkpoint inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies, and therapeutic vaccines offering new hope for cancer patients

Immunotherapy

What is conventional immunotherapy?

Cancer immunotherapy is a treatment approach that activates the patient's own immune system to recognize and destroy cancer cells. Unlike traditional chemotherapy that directly kills cancer cells, immunotherapy "releases the brakes" on the immune system, allowing it to fight cancer more effectively.

Cancer cells often use "immune escape" mechanisms to hide from the immune system. Immunotherapy drugs help overcome this by blocking these escape pathways, restoring the immune system's ability to detect and eliminate cancer cells.

Types of Immunotherapy

Various immunotherapy approaches to suit different cancer types and patient needs

Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors

PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors "release the brakes" on T cells, restoring their cancer-fighting ability. CTLA-4 inhibitors activate T cell immune response. These are the most commonly used immunotherapy drugs.

Monoclonal Antibodies

Precisely target tumor antigens or microenvironment targets. Can mark cancer cells for immune destruction or block growth signals that cancer cells need to proliferate.

Therapeutic Vaccines

Activate specific immune responses against tumors. Examples include HPV vaccines for cervical cancer prevention and treatment.

Cytokine Therapy

Directly enhance immune cell activity. Used for melanoma, kidney cancer, and other malignancies with proven efficacy.
