Cancer patients can benefit from several types of immunotherapy we have to offer. Each type has individual benefits and therefore is prescribed by our specialist on the basis of the patient’s requirement. 

• Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors Therapy – Our immune system has T-cells that need to be managed by checkpoint proteins. T-cells help in destroying harmful diseases and infections in the body and are controlled by checkpoint proteins so that they won’t destroy normal cells. Checkpoint Proteins need to be activated in cancer patients for controlling the T-cells activity and for that purpose Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors therapy drugs are administered in cancer patients.
• Adoptive Cell therapy (T-cell Therapy) – In this treatment, your body’s immune cells are exerted and grown inside a laboratory. Once the cells are grown it is inserted back into the patient’s body for an increase in the immune system. There are basically two types of T-cell Therapy:
• CAR (Chimeric antigen receptor) T-cell Therapy – It provides protection against antigens that disguise themselves to hide from T-cells attack. CAR T-cell Therapy ensures that T-cells do not get fooled by antigens disguise.
• Tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) Therapy- In this procedure, cell tumors are removed from the patient’s body and treated with TIL Therapy. These cells are then put inside the body in larger numbers so that it effectively kills cancerous cells.
• Monoclonal antibodies – These are antibodies that are made in the laboratory and inserted in the body to fight against intruders and cancerous cells.
• Cancer vaccines – Vaccines protect the body against infections such as HPV(Human Papillomavirus). The vaccines act as a shield against infections that can later cause cancer. It is not meant to kill cancerous cells but to fight against diseases and infections.
• Immune system modulators – Immune modulators boost the body’s immune system to fight against intruders. It is of two types Cytokine and Immunomodulatory drugs.
• Cytokine – These drugs communicate with the immune system when there is growth in cancerous cells. It then targets those specific cancerous cells to protect against the massive growth of cancer.
  
  

Immunomodulatory drugs – These prevent cancerous tumors to form new blood vessels which are needed for cancer growth. It is used mostly in metastatic cancer.
