Immunotherapy

      What is Immunotherapy?

      Immunotherapy is an innovative cancer treatment that harnesses the body’s own immune system to detect, attack, and destroy cancer cells. Unlike conventional therapies, immunotherapy strengthens or modifies the immune response, offering a targeted approach to fight cancer while minimizing harm to healthy tissues.

      How Immunotherapy Works?

      Immunotherapy works by boosting the immune system or enhancing its ability to recognize cancer cells as harmful. The main types of immunotherapy include:

      • Checkpoint Inhibitors: Block proteins that prevent immune cells from attacking cancer
      • CAR-T Cell Therapy: Genetically modifies a patient’s T-cells to target cancer cells
      • Monoclonal Antibodies: Bind to specific targets on cancer cells, marking them for immune destruction
      • Cancer Vaccines: Stimulate the immune system to recognize and attack tumor cells

      • Precision Targeting: Directly involves the immune system to attack cancer cells
      • Fewer Side Effects: Compared to traditional chemotherapy, healthy tissues are mostly spared
      • Long-Lasting Effects: Can provide sustained immune memory to prevent cancer recurrence
      • Combination Potential: Often used with chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or radiotherapy for enhanced outcomes

      • Leukemia and lymphoma
      • Melanoma

      The young brain is highly responsive to therapy and stimulation. When developmental issues are detected and treated during the early hidden or evolving stage, before the condition becomes fully established, the outcomes are significantly better and the effort, time and cost involved are far less. Waiting until a problem is fully manifested makes treatment harder and slower.
