About this Procedure
Immunotherapy is a cancer treatment that boosts the immune system so it is better at recognising and fighting cancer cells. Unlike chemotherapy, which attacks dividing cells directly, immunotherapy works through the body's own defences. Oncologists often recommend it for cancers that have spread, have come back after treatment or have not responded to other therapies, and it may be used alone or alongside other treatments.
There are several types. Checkpoint inhibitors release the natural "brakes" on immune cells so they can attack cancer for longer. Other types include monoclonal antibodies, adoptive cell therapies such as CAR T-cell therapy, cancer vaccines and immune system modulators. Which one is used depends on the type of cancer, the results of tests on the tumour and your overall health.
Immunotherapy is most often given as an infusion into a vein (IV), although some types are given as tablets, injections or creams. Treatment may be given daily, weekly, monthly or in cycles with rest periods in between. Side effects range from mild to severe depending on the medicine, so your oncology team monitors you closely and tells you which symptoms to report straight away.
Immunotherapy is offered at Medwell's partner hospitals in Delhi NCR, including BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital, New Delhi, Artemis Hospital, Gurugram, Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurugram and Fortis Flt.
