WHAT IS IMMUNOTHERAPY?

Unlike traditional treatments like chemotherapy and radiation, which attack cancer cells directly, immunotherapy represents a dynamic and rapidly evolving field in cancer treatment. By leveraging the power of the immune system, it offers a new paradigm for fighting cancer, with the potential to revolutionize outcomes for patients worldwide.

HOW DOES IMMUNOTHERAPY WORK?

Unlike chemotherapy, which uses external agents to attack cancer, Immunotherapy activates the body’s immune cells to target and destroy cancerous cells from within. This advanced treatment method utilizes the body’s natural defenses, offering a more precise and potentially less harmful approach. Little wonder, this innovative strategy has shown promising results across various types of cancers, offering new hope where conventional treatments may have fallen short.

Which cancers are treated with immunotherapy?

Lung Cancer

Breast Cancer

Lymphoma

Renal Cancer

Prostate Cancer

Gastric Cancer

Head and Neck Cancer

Skin Cancer


ADVANTAGE  IMMUNOTHERAPY:

Immunotherapy has emerged as a powerful and innovative approach to cancer treatment, offering several distinct advantages over traditional therapies.

Targeted Action Against Cancer Cells

Unlike chemotherapy, which indiscriminately kills rapidly dividing cells, including healthy ones, immunotherapy aims to distinguish cancer cells from normal cells. This targeted action can reduce collateral damage to normal tissues and minimize side effects.

Broad Applicability Across Cancer Types

Immunotherapy has shown promise across a wide range of cancer types, including melanoma, lung cancer, and certain blood cancers. This broad applicability offers hope to patients with various types of cancer who may not have effective treatment options.

Reduced Risk of Resistance

Unlike chemotherapy and radiation, which may lead to drug resistance over time, immunotherapy has the potential to overcome or reduce the risk of resistance. Therefore, combining immunotherapy with other treatments can further reduce the likelihood of resistance.

Improved Quality of Life:

Due to its targeted nature, immunotherapy often results in fewer and less severe side effects compared to conventional treatments like chemotherapy and radiation. Many patients report an improved quality of life during and after treatment, as immunotherapy generally causes less nausea, fatigue, and hair loss. Additionally, the focus on enhancing the immune response rather than directly attacking cancer cells can lead to a more manageable side effect profile.

Enhanced Survival Rates

Immunotherapy has demonstrated notable improvements in survival rates for various cancers, including Melanoma, Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, B Cell Malignancies, Breast Cancer, Lymphomas, Prostrate Cancer, thus transforming the landscape of cancer treatment by improving survival rates, particularly for cancers that were once considered untreatable or had poor prognoses.

  • Linac : A linear accelerator, also referred to as LINAC, is a machine that aims radiation with pinpoint accuracy, sparing nearby healthy tissues. It’s used to deliver advance external beam radiation therapy such as VMAT / Dy-IMRT / SRS /SBRT/ with IGRT
    Infinity-Linac
  • HDR Brachytherapy: In this method, the radioactive source of radiation is placed either very close to the tumor or within the tumor itself to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. It can be categorised into interstitial, surface mould, intra-cavitary brachytherapy or intraluminal brachytherapy based on where the radiotherapy source is placed.
    Brachy-Therapy
  • Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) : Also known as stem cell transplant, the procedure infuses healthy blood-forming stem cells  to replace bone marrow that’s not producing enough healthy blood cells.
