Immunotherapy: Revolutionizing Cancer Treatment

Immunotherapy is a groundbreaking cancer treatment that leverages the body’s immune system to identify and destroy cancer cells. This advanced approach has transformed the landscape of oncology, offering new hope to patients with various types of cancer. Dr. Sumant Gupta specializes in immunotherapy, providing cutting-edge, personalized care to deliver optimal outcomes for every patient.

What is Immunotherapy?

Immunotherapy, also known as biological therapy, strengthens the immune system’s ability to combat cancer. Unlike traditional treatments like chemotherapy and radiation, which directly target cancer cells, immunotherapy empowers the immune system to recognize and attack these cells more effectively. This precision makes immunotherapy a vital option in modern cancer treatment.

How Does Immunotherapy Work?

The immune system naturally identifies and destroys abnormal cells. However, cancer cells can evade detection by hiding or suppressing immune responses. Immunotherapy works by:

  • Boosting Immune Function: Enhancing the immune system’s ability to detect and destroy cancer cells.
  • Targeting Specific Proteins: Using drugs that block proteins cancer cells use to evade immune attack.
  • Training Immune Cells: Engineering T-cells or other immune components to specifically target cancer cells.

Types of Immunotherapy

  1. Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors: Drugs that block proteins like PD-1, PD-L1, and CTLA-4, enabling the immune system to attack cancer cells more effectively.
  2. CAR T-Cell Therapy: A cutting-edge treatment where a patient’s T-cells are modified in a lab to target cancer cells.
  3. Cancer Vaccines: Boost the immune system’s ability to prevent or treat cancer.
  4. Monoclonal Antibodies: Lab-made proteins that target specific cancer-related antigens.
  5. Cytokine Therapy: Enhances the immune system’s overall function using proteins like interferons and interleukins.

Benefits of Immunotherapy

  • Fewer Side Effects: Unlike traditional treatments, immunotherapy minimizes damage to healthy cells, reducing side effects.
  • Long-Lasting Protection: Trained immune cells provide ongoing defense against cancer recurrence.
  • Effective for Advanced Cancers: Particularly beneficial for cancers that are resistant to traditional therapies.
