Immuno-Oncology

Immuno-Oncology is a revolutionary field in cancer treatment that harnesses the body’s own immune system to combat cancerous cells. By leveraging the natural ability of immune cells to recognize and destroy abnormal cells, Immuno-Oncology introduces innovative therapies to enhance this process. One prominent example is CAR-T cell therapy, where a patient’s T cells are genetically engineered to better identify and attack cancer cells. This approach also includes immune checkpoint inhibitors, which block proteins that prevent the immune system from attacking tumors. Additionally, cancer vaccines and monoclonal antibodies are utilized to stimulate a more robust immune response against cancer. Immuno-Oncology represents a paradigm shift in cancer treatment, aiming to provide more effective, targeted, and personalized therapies with fewer side effects compared to traditional methods.
