Overview of Immunotherapy for Cancer in India<\/h2>\n rnrnImmunotherapy<\/strong> uses the body’s immune system to fight cancer. Immunotherapy is a way to help the immune system fight cancer by giving drugs to enhance the immune system or by using lab-made substances that act like immune cells<\/strong>.rnrnImmunotherapy can be combined with other methods like chemotherapy<\/strong> and radiation therapy<\/strong>. There are different ways to use immunotherapy for cancer.rnrnOne way is to give drugs that make the immune system stronger. This is called non-specific immunotherapy<\/strong>. Although it doesn’t always target cancer directly, it can still be very effective in treating it.rnrnAnother method uses proteins such as cytokines<\/strong> to boost the immune system. Cytokines help the immune system work better. The cost of these treatments depends on what stage of cancer the patient is in and what medications are required.rn<\/p>\n
