Checkpointinhibiittorit
Checkpointinhibiittorit, also known as immune checkpoint inhibitors, are a type of cancer therapy that helps the immune system fight cancer. The immune system has natural "brakes" called immune checkpoints that prevent it from attacking healthy cells. Cancer cells can exploit these checkpoints to hide from the immune system. Checkpoint inhibitors work by blocking these checkpoints, essentially releasing the brakes on the immune system, allowing it to recognize and attack cancer cells more effectively.
There are several types of immune checkpoints that can be targeted, including PD-1 (programmed cell death protein
Immune checkpoint inhibitors have revolutionized the treatment of various cancers, including melanoma, lung cancer, kidney cancer,
