What is Immunotherapy?
Immunotherapy is a cutting-edge treatment approach that uses the immune system to fight cancer. It encompasses a wide range of therapies, including immune checkpoint inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies, cytokines, CAR T-cell therapy, antibody-drug conjugates, and vaccines. By either enhancing or suppressing immune system responses, immunotherapy helps to regenerate immune recognition of cancer cells, interfere with checkpoint controls, and leverage the body’s natural immunology to target tumors.
Types of Immunotherapy:
- Antibody-Drug Conjugates
- Bispecific Antibodies
- Bispecific T-cell Engagers
- CAR T-Cell Therapy
- Cytokines/Immune System Modulators
- Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors
- Monoclonal Antibodies
- Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocytes
