Immunkemoterápii

Immunkemoterapiia is a type of cancer treatment that uses drugs to stimulate the body's own immune system to fight cancer cells. Unlike traditional chemotherapy, which directly attacks cancer cells, immunkemoterapiia works by helping the immune system recognize and destroy cancer cells more effectively. This approach leverages the natural defense mechanisms of the body to combat the disease.

There are several ways immunkemoterapiia can work. Some drugs help the immune system's T-cells to identify and attack cancer cells. Others boost the overall activity of the immune system, making it more potent against cancer. Certain immunkemoterapiia treatments can also help the immune system overcome the ways cancer cells try to hide from it.

Immunkemoterapiia can be used to treat a variety of cancers, including melanoma, lung cancer, kidney cancer, and lymphoma. It may be used alone or in combination with other cancer treatments like surgery, radiation therapy, or traditional chemotherapy. The effectiveness and side effects of immunkemoterapiia can vary depending on the specific drug used, the type of cancer being treated, and the individual patient. Common side effects can include fatigue, skin rashes, and flu-like symptoms, but these are generally manageable. Research continues to expand the applications and understanding of immunkemoterapiia in cancer treatment.
