Immunotherapy

From monitoring treatment response to managing immune-related adverse events (irAEs), healthcare providers must navigate a complex landscape to optimize patient outcomes.

A groundbreaking immunotherapy drug, Pembrolizumab (Keytruda), shows promising results in treating bowel cancer by targeting specific immune cell proteins.

Megan was told she had been wrongly diagnosed with cancer after undergoing almost two years of treatment and egg preservation.

Radiotherapy, chemotherapy and immunotherapy have all made advancements that have made treatments even more effective while causing less side effects.

In progressive lung cancer, chemotherapy gives modest advantage as most of the patients survive only a few months to a year. Chemotherapy can't be considered as a standard of care. Now, immunotherapy is changing the scenario of lung cancer treatment.

Anti-cancer treatments like chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy have an adverse effect on the immunity status of a cancer patient making them prone to the infection and also worse outcomes if they have COVID-19.

Targeted therapies use drugs or other substances to 'target' the cancer cells more precisely and avoid any damage to surrounding normal cells. Targeted therapy iseffective for non-small cell lung cancer.

US immunotherapy company Inovio Pharmaceuticals Inc on Wednesday said its experimental vaccine to prevent coronavirus infection was shown to produce protective antibodies and immune system responses in mice and guinea pigs.

Biocon chief Kiran Shaw tweeted ahead of the Union Budget - to be presented by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman -, describing the slowdown as "cancer" and urging the government to treat it with "immunotherapy not chemotherapy"

According to the study, T cells are a subset of lymphocytes (white blood cells), which play a key role in the body's immune response. In immunotherapy T cells are modified and used to attack cancer. These cells move around our bodies, looking for infected cells and killing them.

A potential new cancer immunotherapy target that involves switching off a regulatory cell to stop tumours growing and spreading has been developed by researchers.

Allergies: Do you have allergies? Do they affect you on a daily basis? Then you have landed at the right place. Dr. P. Srinivasan tells everything about allergies and why early diagnosis is the key to managing them in the long run.

A team led by Wang Dangge from Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica under the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Fudan University developed a common immune checkpoint inhibitor in a nanoparticle formulation, which is highly tumor-specific.

A study was recently conducted to ascertain if preschoolers who are allergic to peanuts could be given oral immunotherapy (OIT) to build their immunity.

The study followed 55 people who completed OIT or SLIT peanut immunotherapy trials.
