    Types of Immunotherapy Treatment

    Checkpoint inhibitors: An active measure that uses antibodies to block immune checkpoints.

    Adoptive Cell Transfer: A passive measure to transfer the immune cells into a patient.

    CAR T-cell Therapy: CAR T-cell therapy extracts T cells from a patient’s bloodstream and genetically modifies them, empowering T cells to identify and attack cancer cells after re-entering the patient’s body.

    Cancer Vaccines: Vaccines are an effective trigger against the immune system; once injected into the body, they trigger an immune response and fight against diseases.

    Oncolytic Viruses: These genetically modified cancer cells are designed to infect and destroy the cancer cells.

    Immunomodulators: These medicines enhance several facets of the immune system’s activity, experiencing its full healing potential against curing malignant cancers and restoring immune haemostasis.

    Monoclonal antibodies: They mimic the body’s natural proteins, letting them target specific cancer cells precisely.

    Cytokines: These small proteins stimulate the immune cells to attack cancerous issues when injected into the patient’s body, thus imposing anti-tumour immunity and tumour growth.

    FAQ's

    Not all insurance covers, but some do. As immunotherapy is considered palliative care, patients may get reimbursed a certain amount of fees from their treatment.

    The cost varies depending on various factors, such as the length of the treatment, cancer type, cancer stage, and the type of drugs administered. Generally, chemotherapy is cheaper than immunotherapy.

    Yes! Immunotherapy can be painful at the site of injection, cause skin reactions during or after the treatment, and may cause joint pains (arthralgia) in the healthy tissues. Yet, it depends on the dosage, the type of immunotherapy performed, and the type and stage of the cancer.

    Both treatment modalities have their own set of pros and cons, but subsequently, immunotherapy is less toxic and could be much safer than chemotherapy. E.g., in the case of melanoma.

    Immunotherapy can provide a great quality of life and extend the survival rates in patients with stage 4 cancer; unfortunately, it cannot guarantee any cure for stage 4 cancer.

    It helps cure cancer but is not for everyone. For instance, it can help cure certain skin cancers in 60% of patients and some individuals with a solid mass of tumours like the lung or bladder.

    The success rates for immunotherapy treatment change based on factors, such as the patient’s age, type and stage of the cancer, and overall patient’s well-being. The overall success rate for immunotherapy ranges between 20 and 50%.

    Compared to chemotherapy and radiation therapy, immunotherapy causes hair thinning and less hair loss. It can be started after a few weeks of treatment to a year.

    Immunotherapy does provide lasting changes and permanently protects the treated site from any cancer recurrence.
